Firefox Community Forum

I'm doing a research paper with about fifty open logged in tabs. if I sent each one, one at a time, and re-logged in from all my tabs on my tablet/phone it would take about a half hour at least. What's the deal? I used to be able to do this. But now... there's no "sign in and sync" like the web help says. There's no "right click on the device" like Google says, there's nothing like what Bing says to do. Are you telling me that since tech and data has INCREASED, that abilities have DECREASED?! Please don't give me the diatribe that "it's a security issue" because it's not. Syncing is password protected. I'm on a windows surface pro tablet, I've tried it on my desktop, too. I've tried it on my galaxy s23 ultra phone (not the source of the tabs) and on my galaxy s6 tablet. nothing.

This crashing must stop...It is an annoyance that is troubling. 1st Reagan.com disappears (customer service), now constant crashing and not a word about fixing it, AFTER reporting it. Explain. Or lose a subscriber.

Platform: Windows 11 Firefox 131.2

I made the mistake of installing Firefox as a windows app instead of downloading it. So I did the download, and I want to transfer my profile info from the app to the download. I tried the settings->general->import but the Firefox app is not listed. Any help appreciated.

Hello,

My bookmark folders (containing all my bookmarks) disappeared in this latest update. I followed the instructions indicating how to restore my bookmarks, selecting the date I wanted to restore from - but it didn't work. I got an error message saying, "Unable to process the backup file." How can I get all my bookmarks back?

Thank you!

I've never had this problem before, even though I've been using Firefox for 4 years. As soon as I try to connect to an account via Google, or go to Docs/Drive/Classroom, I'm always taken to a “Clear cache and delete cookies” page. So I followed the instructions on the page, deleted all my data and saved cookies from Firefox and even tried to reinstall Firefox completely, but nothing changed, I'm always redirected to this page.

Someone can help me please? I can provide more informations if needed.

I've used Firefox for decades. One thing I love about it is I've always been able to close Firefox and when Firefox starts up again, it always remembers all of my windows and all of my tabs. That is, until about 3 or 4 weeks ago. All of a sudden, when Firefox restarts, it usually loses many if not most of my windows. Sometimes some of the unopened windows are still available in page history. Other times, they are not. This is really really bad. I need Firefox to work like it always used to work, where you can shut down windows any time you want, and when you start Firefox up again, all the windows and all the tabs come back, no ifs ands or buts.

Hello, I reinstalled windows and I want to synchronize my data from my email from which I send your message and every time there was no problem, but now it does not want to synchronize the data as if it does not exist, what is the problem because the data is important to me and I cannot to access Kind regards.

I lost all my bookmarks. I tried all recommendations to repair without success, and decided to accept it and start again yet am unable to add bookmarks now - hitting the star doesn't work.

I refreshed firefox, deleted and reinstalled.

I keep getting the error message "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because..."

When I try to restore I keep getting error message "Unable to process the back up file" - doesn't matter what date I choose.

What the hell has happened? I've had so many links and pages saved - now all gone...!!

The Firefox Sync system is really neat for keeping our booksmarks synced across devices, but what I would also love to see is the option to sync all settings as well, including the changes made in the "about:config" settings.

Across my years of browsing I changed quite a lot of small little things and having to track all of those down every time I set up a new device or reinstall windows can get a bit tedious, so I was wondering if those settings can also be included in the Sync settings somehow - or if such a feature might be planned for the future?

Hello, I beg you to help me. I love firefox, I've been using this browser since my first time since I had. So I am REALLY old user, I think it's almost 10 years. So I had no idea about your rules about keys and if I restet my password all of my synchronization will be gone. I am using the same device that I had for 4 years, but I did a factory reset. Please take my data, I don't care about privacy and everything I just want to get my passwords and bookmarks that I had for almost 10 years. I beg you. You are my only hope to restore it. Please. I had so many passwords synch on my firefox account. I dont have any physical copy of those passwords. If they are gone I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Dear Firefox,

I have just reinstalled my operating system after some issues. After reinstalling my browser, I logged into my browser after changing the password, but now no data is being synced. The open tabs, bookmarks and saved passwords were the most important, but none of that has synced back. After waiting for a little bit I decided to press the synchronize now button, but that also didn't do anything. Is there perhaps something wrong with the syncing right now? Or is there another way to get that data back? I didn't save it as I normally don't have to.

Thank you for your reply!

Kind regards, Lili

When I sync my Firefox account, my old data, themes, and add-ons come back. There are add-ons, themes, passwords, and usernames from 3-4 years ago that I no longer use. How can I reset my sync data and sync again? In short, there is an 'overwrite' situation; the old data remains while the new data is synced over it.

I had to redo restore my laptop to its original self. went and got firefox again and now my bookmarks are not there, but they were never in my edge to begin with because i never used edge. this is my sons pc that i am now using. he had lots of gaming stuff so i restored to original now my bookmark are not in my firefox. I thought firefox kept your bookmarks when you sign into firefox they would automatically be there. i tried to sync but says nothing is there. I tried to import but this being my son pc there is nothing there.

How do I fix the following error : PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I can no longer access many websites and get the following message when I attempt to do so:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to download.mozilla.org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
