Hello, I am trying to sync browser bookmarks bidirectionally from PC to Cell devices. The instructional window that pops up on the PC says to: click the three dots in the Android Firefox cell, 1) Choose "I already have Firefox for mobile" & click Continue 2) Window popup appears "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet" 2a) Open Firefox on cell phone 2b) Go to the Menu (three dots) 2c) Tap "Sync and save data" 2d) Tap "Ready to scan" My issue is, I do not see option 2c, Tap "Sync and save data. Thus, I cannot scan the OCR code to pair up the devices because in the Firefox app on the Android cell (Samsung Galaxy S22+), there is no option to sync and save data. Please advise. Thank you

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.

I have Firefox installed on a few devices including my two phones, as well as it being my primary Windows desktop browser.

My older phone is currently running 121.0 #2015991663 and sync works fine.

My primary phone is running the latest version from Gplay store 135.0 #2016070975 and nothing I do can persuade it to sync.

I tried logging out of my Mozilla account on the phone, clearing cache, closing all tabs and restarting the device. It now persistenly says Last synchronised: never

It simply will not sync.

I wanted to switch to Firefox and they are making it difficult! I am using Firefox on Android and Windows 11 on desktop. All I want is to sync my mobile device to desktop. I followed the documentation. After all kinds of login obstacles, I was able to log in to the Firefox app. I clicked the menu and there is NO OPTION to “Sync and save data” as described in the documentation. I have wasted 30 minutes trying to figure this out. Please advise. thank you.

I own a 'BlackDroidBerry' cell phone--a Blackberry Key2 LE--which came with Firefox installed. I don't know how to determine which version of Firefox that is.

Is there a way to update the Firefox on this phone without granting access to the 'Google Play Store'? Because I value my privacy, I have this phone locked down so tightly that all it can do is receive text messages, make phone calls, and use Firefox. I REALLY don't want to let Google past my personal firewall....

I've read that the incidence of a web page removing basic browser elements like the address box and ellipsis menu from the UI is called 'stripping.' I'm not sure if that term is accurate, but the phenomenon I just described is occurring more often on my Firefox Android browser. The obvious navigational disadvantages of that arrangement are joined by an inability to save page-specific shortcuts to my phone's screen. The query 'stripping' in this Help Community's search box provided no useful results, so I'm asking here if there's anything I can do in my settings (or by any other means) to block websites from forcing that behavior upon my Android browser?

I'm trying to download android Firefox for mobile phones through PC Firefox. Now it seems that Android devices can only get Firefox through Google play. However, this is a nightmare for Firefox users in many countries in the world where the Internet is strictly censored and blocked, such as the People's Republic of China. Not only is the Internet strictly censored and blocked like android phones, so they can't get Firefox or other products through www.mozilla.org because the page will be directed to Google play. People don't have Google's android suite so they can't get Firefox in this way. So I recommend developers to The Firefox android download page provides APK installation files so that users in countries where the Internet is censored can more easily install the privacy-safe browser Firefox, Please submit my question to firefox to try to make it easier for people who can't use Google services to download firefox.,The attached image shows a reminder of censorship when using China's local Internet browser UC to access www.Mozilla.org. Thanks

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR READING THIS. Am newly signed onto Android Mobile FireFox.

I agreed to the Extension "Downloading YouTube". Then, an ominous warning popped-up. Now I regret having pressed the "download" consent. Recently, my YouTube Premium Account was hacked. There were stranfe noises & unnerving screeches, preceeding YouTube freezing. Eventually, I decided to Factory Reset the phone. Discovered that my YouTube History had movies/videos that I never watched. This is why I thot it wise to have YouTube protection. However, how would I know if the Extension download occurred? I don't see any addition to my App Library.》》 Maybe my Android Securuty blocked it. How can I check this? I'm not computer intelligent. Don't know the difference between a Mobile Phone App or a Mobile Phone Extension. Very much appreciate your help. Thank You!!
