Firefox vir Android Community Forum

No matter what I do, sometimes, Firefox on my phone won't sync and it's driving me crazy to be honest. I don't know why it happens, it has no fixed schedule and it seems to go away on it's own in a seemingly random amount of time. In this instance, as I'm writing this I've been trying to sync with my PC for over an hour and it simply refuses to sync. I've tried restarting, force stoping , clearing cache.. Nothing. In the past I even tried reinstalling and for it to sync it took a while. I'm lost with this bug and it's been happening for a while now, I was hoping for a fix but so far it seems it hasn't come.

Please let me know if additional information is needed.

sync not working from: desktop to pixel 10 pro. desktop has folders and subfolders.

In addition sync not working from pixel 6 to desktop. pixel 6 is setup with folders and subfolders. There are approx 300 bookmarks

You can help by letting my sync be turned on so you can see I've only one device and quit asking me to keep signing in a device already signed in . Then you might not be confused about how many devices I'm actually using

FF 152.02 Android 16 Pixel 6

FF has stopped synced. Doesn't respond at all to "Sync now".

Already tried: Signing out/in Clearing cache Uninstalling/reinstalling

Another oddity: when I sign in, I get FOUR "New sign-in" emails.

Ideas, anyone?

Thank you!

pixel 6 bookmarks are not syncing to desktop. I am signed in on both the pixel and desktop. Have used the QR code. Tried several times after rebooting both the phone and desktop. I have folders and subfolders set up on the pixel 6 for several hundred bookmarks.

For years, I've been using FF on desktop (Linux), tablet (Android) and phone (Android - Samsung S24+). Sync has never been a problem until two weeks ago when FF on the phone has either refused to sync when I tapped the command, or hasn't synced for many hours or sometimes days (which is why I tried to do it manually). So, I signed out of my FF account on all 3 devices and then signed back in. The desktop computer and tablet are syncing normally, but the phone still won't sync. When I tap the 3-dot menu on the phone and then my name, it says the phone has NEVER been synced and tapping the sync command does nothing. Under "Choose what to sync", all options are checked, but greyed out. Can't change them, in other words. When I access bookmarks on the phone, it properly shows what was there before the last sync. The phone is running FF version 150.0 Build 2016155439

Help!

Hello,

I've always used Firefox, and have had whichever Macbook and Android devices I've had synced for years. I recently got a newer phone, had an issue, returned it and got the same model. Since getting the new phone, Firefox not only takes hours to properly sync to be able to even see my Macbook's tabs, but I can't even send myself links from Macbook to my Android phone. Password and bookmark syncing is also spotty. I've tried signing out, made sure these are the only two devices on my account, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It's been this way through many updates for both my device and Firefox. I use both devices interchangeablely and it's critical enough to me that I may switch to a different browser. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm new to using Firefox and it's already to difficult to start to use.having trouble with sync and setting up my usernames for the apps l use. im lost pls help. I wanted privacy so l switched from Google to Firefox!!!!

Hello,

I actually noticed earlier that, on Android, Firefox was saying the last sync was 11 hours ago. I tried to sync but it didn't do anything, as if the button wasn't there at all. I tried restarting my phone, disconnecting firefox on my phone from my computer, disconnecting firefox on my computer from my phone and all these things did was that, now, it says it had never sync.

I'm a bit lost, I didn't find any solution for that.

I open the menu button on my android phone version of Firefox. Tap sign in, and nothing happens! No "Ready to Scan" to tap, nothing happens. The page blinks and nothing changes. Sometimes there is not even a sign in option, as I'm already signed in, and can't find any easy way to sign out, or close tabs, or navigate this browser in any way resembling how I do on my desk or laptop. It's incredibly clunky, non-intuitive, and even following directions doesn't seem to help.

Firefox for Android has stopped syncing (in the three-dot menu it says "Sign back in to synchronise: Synchronisation paused"). I tap that, tap "Reconnect to sync", enter my username and password, click "Sign in" and.... nothing happens. The "Sign in" button is greyed in, and it seems I have signed in because I get the email alerts about the new sign in, but the page does not redirect/tell the browser that sign in was successful.

Please could this be fixed so I can sync my bookmarks & open tabs?

I was using Firerox Beta on Android and yesterday or for the last couple days my Firerox account would keep getting logged out as in I'd have to sign in again and again to sync or send tabs to other devices. (It would repeatedly say sign in again to sync even after I sign in repeatedly).

I uninstalled Firefox Beta and installed Firefox stable on Android. No such issue so far.

i only use two Gmail account in Firefox browser and sync everything tabs book marks but in both gmail now when I openp the app after some months didn't found any synced tabs or bookmark

I can't find the cause, I noticed it said last sync was 7 hours ago. I tried signing out and back in. Tried wiping cache and data.

Im using Firefox 152.0.2

Hi! Today I synced a tab from my Android device to a desktop PC. The link arrived successfully, but on the Android device many many inactive tabs disappeared without a trace(searched history, recently closed etc.). looking up about:sync-log I only got txt files of errors, no trace of links. Can you help me get back my closed tabs? TY

I have now tried every fix available that I have found online and none of them match what I am experiencing. If I am browsing on my phone and want to save it as a book mark i am unable to choose where to save it under my bookmarks. It just says save to bookmarks. Now i try and find that bookmark on my laptop but to no avail. The Mozilla bookmarks are terrible and unfortunately to say here EDGE kicks Mozillas butt. Both Laptop and Phone are on my only profile. I then also found that the search history is limited and wont show all history. Tried all fixes on web. Not one works. May have to revert to EDGE.
