How do I use the new Sync so that I can save bookmarks on an Android device and access them across all platforms?

I can get my desktop computer's bookmarks on all other devices fine, but I want to be able to add bookmarks across all accounts from android devices.

All I seem to be able to do is add bookmarks locally to individual android devices, these don't show up on my desktop computer! And there is no way to edit the bookmark location in Android?

Hi adamford73, Actually it can. On the mobile devices, can you go to Settings > Sync and make sure that bookmarks are checked for the account that the device is attached to. Also please check out the folder "Mobile Bookmarks" they should be there. The other neat url is [about:sync-tabs] which also shows the tabs from the last sync from any of the devices attached to the account. I have seen this work in 30 and 31, but have not tested other versions.

I hope this helps!
