I have two recovery keys, how can i check which is the one set for my preferred installation of Firefox. One was for my en-CA install, the other for an en-US install made a week later due to an update glitch. I had to use my en-CA recovery key to recover my settings to the en-US install, which also made a new recovery key. I want to get rid of the spurious en-US install.

Now i don't know if that new recovery key replaced my en-CA install's key.

I'm having serious problems with a Windows 11 desktop. While waiting for help from tech support, I've discovered that bookmarks have disappeared and/or been rearranged in Firefox on the desktop, but not my laptop. That’s actually a relatively minor problem in the scheme of things concerning the desktop, but I still have to deal with it.

I before I thought about possible consequences, I checked Firefox on my laptop, and saw that the bookmarks there were fine. But now, because I have syncing turned on, and don't know what continued effect that may have, I’ve closed FF on both computers and made Chrome my default browser for the time being.

Ideally, while I’m waiting for my desktop issues to be solved, I'd like to turn off syncing and then continue using FF when I use my laptop. But I’m concerned about what further effect *any* use of FF on either computer may have on the bookmarks. I'd hate to go into the settings only to find that in doing so I'd done something to cause the desktop & laptop bookmarks to snyc, to the detriment of the latter. And with syncing enabled, I'm reluctant to use FF at all on my laptop.

I'd appreciate advice on how to handle this problem. I do have everything on the laptop backed up, but it would be nice if I didn't have to rely on that.

Thanks.
