منتدى دعم ”Firefox“

Hi, all just a question. The account is supposed to very very old. But since i logged in nothing has been there. I am taking nothing. So you help that be great. Thanks.

In the past, logging in to my Firefox account has caused new installs to just sync with my previous settings, bookmarks etc, but my computer had a... spaz & I had to do a new install of Windows 10, and Firefox will not sync. I've tried hitting 'sync now'...

I cant login to my firefox account on both devices anymore since a recent update.

I use the Arkenfox user.js on Desktop and Mull on Android.

sync still works, even though I cant login to my account.

Firefox 109.0 on Linux, Flatpak version.

Mull newest update from F-Droid based on 109.1.1 (nightly)

I can't log in on some sites with Firefox. I've tried to use another browser (microsoft edge) and with that browser the problem is gone.. Two sites that won't let me in with Firefox is cdbaby.com and walley.se What is the problem with Firefox that I use as my ordinary browser?

Months ago, I had some tabs open on my PC. After I haven't opened my browser for months, these tabs was no longer show up on the Firefox on PC. But when I connected my Firefox account on another device and synced my history, those tabs appeared in the "Open Tabs" again. Those make my "Open Tabs" verbose and difficult to get the information I need. But since I can't see these tabs on my PC, I can't close them. To remove those tabs, I tried reconnecting my account and clearing the local datas on my Firefox on my PC, but it didn't work.

After my PC had a blue screen, I reinstalled Windows. Since I use Firefox Snc, I relied on it. Unfortunately, I had to realize that after reinstalling and successfully logging in to fIrefox sync, all my data is gone. He says that he has successfully syncronized, but all bookmarks are missing as well as the settings.

Whenever I sign into Firefox, all my themes, add-ons/extensions are added via Firefox Sync. That's fine, but the problem I have is that whenever I sign into any Firefox browser, an old theme I used to have that I no longer have on my account keeps coming back, and I've tried to find solutions to this issue, but none have had this kind of issue. It may be similar to issues those have had, or currently have, but I can't seem to do anything to remedy this issue.

Keep in mind that this is not a Firefox browser issue, it is an account issue.

I'd be deeply grateful to any assistance you may have for me.

Just concerned what this is exactly because I noticed it once before and deleted it. Why does it need to be connected to my account? I tried Googling around to see if this was normal and I couldn't find anything.

Generally i reinstalled my windows, downloaded firefox, logged in, but i don't have my passwords, addons, history or anything. Even restarting program doesn't work. I will be grateful for help.

Hello. I just set up a self hosted firefox-syncserver on my homeserver.

I created a virtual host on nginx which looks something like this: firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com and have a mariadb database as the backend. In about:config on firefox, I then set the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5.

Everything seems to work fine, but I still have some questions which I did not find an answer to online.

   Since I have this public accesspoint for my syncserver now, can not anyone just use it? What stops them from using my url (https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5) in their about:config?

   What is the SYNC_MASTER_SECRET for which I set to a 256-bit random key?

   When I navigate to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5 in my browser, why does it say {"status":"error","errors":[{"location":"body","name":"","description":"Unauthorized"}]}

I would really appreciate a good answer, as I could not find anything good about these points online.

Due to a massive bug, my computer uninstalled Firefox without warning.

When I installed it back, Sync kept the passwords, which is great, but no bookmarks. Is there a way to get them back?

Thank you for your time

While booting up my laptop, a series of extremely unfortunate crashes occurred back to back and ended up wiping the entirety of my synced login passwords and saved email addresses for all websites. After jumping through the multiple different hoops of profile management, json file extension editing, attempting to use a file explorer to recover previous versions of the required json file, I am at the end of my rope and worse off than where I started. Everything is missing now; bookmarks, passwords, email addresses, everything but recent history in this very browsing session.

All of my json files with relevant information are filled to the brim with null values, nothing seems recoverable and it's honestly a little soul crushing to deal with this. I read online that the the Firefox Sync data is also stored server side, and after multiple attempts of sighing into my account on different devices, I cannot get that server side data to flow back into my browser. If there is anything that can be sent my way to get me back on track, please, please help me out here in recovering my information. This is horrible. I have nothing now.

the other day my Samsung Galaxy S21+ died on me so I was forced to re-startup my old Galaxy S10+.. and I tried to sync the my new data on my Desktop and Firefox cloud to my phone...

BUT! it synced my old data a year old data from my phone to my desktop... destroying all my changes over the past year.. THANK YOU BACKUPS! saved the day... Firefox account need the ability to clear the stored Firefox data in the cloud to prevent this from happening again.. and I found similar questions that pointed to deleting my whole account and starting fresh.. THAT IS AN INSANE IDEA... no thx.. I have too much to lose...

please consider this a feature update or request..

Title sorta says it all. The other day when I opened FireFox on my laptop it said my account had been disconnected, and to re-sign in. In a long story short, I did not have my phone for several weeks and it was dead. I received it afterwards, did not allow it to connect to the internet, and still have that old profile data on my phone.

Can that data safely be retrieved or re-synced to my account? If so, how? It would be iPhone to Windows 11 install.

Respectfully, Michael

Team, My firefox time is not sync with my system time. Can you suggest what can be done here. Current time is 10:12AM but whenever new mail is coming the time is showing something different.
