Transfer from desktop (Win 7) to Andriod cell phone
Hi,
I am preparing a long road trip and saved a lot of pages in my bookmarks in my desktop. I -carefully :)- read and followed your instructions, synced my desktop and my cell phone, sent all bookmarks (and, I guess, history and cookies???) to the cell phone. They have disappeared in both :(((((.
What did I do wrong and how can I retrieve them?
Could you please rescue me? I would be very grateful. Thanks a lot

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

- Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.
If deleting places.sqlite files didn't make Firefox restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup didn't work you then you can try to restore an older JSON backup.
The name of a compressed .jsonlz4 backup included the total item count.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.json
