You just made some kind of change to Firefox. I don't want Firefox on my phone and don't want to Sync anything! My bookmark menu is gone, I had it all in alphabetic order, important sites I use. Now you only have "recent bookmarks" all in a jumble. What happened to my bookmark menu list that I had made? And how do I get rid of Sync?

Hi,

You can turn off Sync by opening the Firefox preferences (type "about:preferences" in the address bar). From there, click on "Firefox Account" on the left, and then the "manage account" link underneath your email address. Once you do that, a page should open with a "delete account" option.

To get the old bookmarks menu back, you can do the following:

  1. Click on the hamburger menu (the button with three horizontal lines in the upper-right)
  2. choose "customize"
  3. In the grid of icons that appears, find the one labeled "bookmarks menu", and drag it into the toolbar next to the other icons.
  4. Choose "done" in the lower-right.

Hope this helps!

This is a bit off-topic, but how do you insert the icons like that?

In the support article, I right-click > Copy Image Location

Then in the reply, I write out the HTML inline image tag:

<img src="paste here ">

If the image is huge, you have to add

<img src="paste here " width="500">

to keep it within bounds.
