Really aye, that's strange, I removed information technology from the bookmarksof the smartphone andnow, on the smartphone only, if I type in the address bar it still shows upwardly, but it's not bookmarked anymore, and it's not in the hostory as well, I wonder where information technology is saved (on the smartpone). On the desktop information technology's starred every bit before. I wonder if this tin can exist some fancy setting in about:config, or ifit's related to the sync account. I usually transfer the home folder to avert it syncing from scratch because information technology loses configurations for add together-ons if synced from scratch,I would hate to set upwards sync over again from scratch. There must be a solution somehow. I think you are getting shut, man.

That was it. I don'tknowwhy, but the search bookmarksfunction on the desktop does not include mobile bookmarks, even though they are there, maybe considering they are on the same directory level, anyway I looked past manus and eye, and deleted information technology from there. Trouble solved. Thank you so much my friend :)

Glad yous found it. The integration between desktop and mobile bookmarks isn't fully comfortable on either side. Not sure what the futurity holds along those lines.
