Sync keeps replacing my bookmarks with an old version
Fortunately I can keep restoring from a recent backup.
However, every few hours my bookmarks all revert back to a copy from months ago.
How can I make this stop?
I have Firefox on multiple computers and phones. All the other devices have the current bookmarks.

It does the restore to bookmarks list from months ago.
It does this on several computers connected to Firefox sync.
hii bskaufman11,
Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Restore https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list.
bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4. Other data may be more difficult to restore.
You can look at this utility to browse System Restore points.
System Restore Explorer: http://nicbedford.co.uk/software/systemrestoreexplorer/ You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Hi Arman,
Thank you for the response!
I am fortunately able to continue to restore my bookmarks from backups.
However, the sync keeps automatically reverting my bookmarks to a much older listing.
How do I prevent this from happening?
I tried to sign out of Firefox Sync on my other browsers to no avail.
Thank you! Barry
