Well... i've created sync account and synced 2 devices successfully, but only the first time. Now i hit sync now on Win7 ff and Android's ff doesn't update bookmarks (i want only bookmarks to be synced). After few minutes i realize that desktop's feature "SyncNow" in android is located in system settings under accounts. But actually doesn't sync anything (both android > desktop and desktop > android) also tried to remove account and re-added it but same thing.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Since it is only bookmarks:

Are you syncing from a mobile device? It may be in the mobile bookmarks folder.

The network issue for Firefox sync was just resolved, were you seeing any error messages: "Unknown error occurred"?

Does searching for a missing bookmark in "Show all Bookmarks" show the bookmark after waiting for the initial sync to complete?

I think you should try going into your Android Settings, then Data Usage, and activate the option "Allow data sync".
