Instructions to sync laptop win 11 pro to android phone or tablet don't work. Cannot find any way way within Android App to scan code on laptop screen.

Need another way to sync all my devices to my laptops.

2 Win 11 Pro Laptops 2 Android Phones one Android Tablet.

All show up as connected devices on my phone but none of them syncing with others.

I want all of them to sync together for FireFox tabs Settings and Passwords and logins.

My emails were hacked by the person who I escaped domestic violence from. My Google account was linked across devices and he accessed my linked device and had access to everything. I have changed browser and my email to Outlook. I DO NOT want anything here to be linked to my Google account!!!

In the instructions says if you want to pair the device is to open Firefox on Android, press the "3 dots button" and click Ready to Scan button, but if I do that there is no such option there at all.

I am doing this signed-in into my Mozilla account.

Thanks in advance, Tadej Peršič from Slovenia 🇸🇮

Can I fine-tune sync the way I want?

I would love to be able to sync bookmarks and passwords between two desktops yet sync just the bookmarks to a third device: an Android phone. Why? Because while I want my bookmarks available everywhere, I don't want sensitive passwords on a device that leaves home.

But I don't see a way to do that. I've tried, and I find the passwords and up being synced no matter how I configure the settings.

Nor, apparently, can I export the bookmarks and passwords to a file, strip out the passwords, and import the bookmarks alone to the phone--what I was hoping could be a workaround. I gather one can't import to mobile Firefox. Have to sync.

So I'm back where I started: unable to do what I want to do.

And I missing something?

For laptop and mobile, All open tabs between all synced devices, are all just in a list right when you click on or press on Firefox.. also, just have all the devices current history listed under that..and, AND... Can I take it one step farther and have them listed on all the New tabs when I click the new tab cross? Basically making "Firefox View" the homepage for all devices, I was gonna just create a shortcut webut when I click on "FV" no link comes up... Also possibly a "copy and paste clipboard" option across devices. Thanks in advance for any time this could save me and others in the future... also, This question seems logical that's it's may been asked a hundred dozen times before already, but I did search my summary

I'm signed in to Firefox on mobile because I want to access my desktop bookmarks, history etc on mobile. But whenever I bookmark a page on mobile it automatically saves to whatever folder I last used on desktop. But I don't want them saved to my desktop bookmarks at all. I don't know how to move them to mobile only and how to stop them from saving into my desktop folders.

Syncing tabs, passwords are very useful, but it is quite disappointing that there are no available option (during synchronization) to select Collections as well... Or am I missing some obvious way to do that ?
