I have Firefox on my pc, love it. I do NOT want firefox on my phone. How do I get rid of Sync? It is being forced on me. My bookmark menu is gone.
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:
- Click on the hamburger menu (the button with three horizontal lines in the upper-right)
- choose "customize"
- In the grid of icons that appears, find the one labeled "bookmarks menu", and drag it into the toolbar next to the other icons.
- 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.
