I save all my passwords in Firefox. I have just synced my Firefox browser with Firefox on my IOS device into the Firefox IOS app. What do I need to do to get my passwords to appear when I want to log into the respective websites?

Hello! I completely restarted my computer so it is functioning like new one. I managed to log in into my firefox account which I have used previously and had synchronized all data.

After connecting to my account there is no data after synchronisig - no history, no tabs, no passwords and accounts details.

Please let me know what is wrong.

Hi I have re-installed my Windows and all data have been backed up in my Firefox account. I have a problem with history and bookmarks which are not restored in my new windows but my password restored.

Hello,

I'm having trouble importing data I had on my account into the browser I'm currently installing on a new HP laptop. I logged in, but I can't see any of the bookmarks. I tried reopening the browser, hitting the sync button, reinstalling... Sync was working perfectly fine before, it was also transferring my config and extensions, maybe it has something to do with HP, as it automatically installed HP Wolf Security Extension. Would there be a way to restore all the settings I had before, taking in consideration that I logged out from previous laptop and I don't have access to it anymore, thinking it was all synced on the cloud?

I reset my pc, i reinstall mozilla and i have problems with the sync of my account. Every data in the browser, such as passwords, markers, and all my data that got on my mozilla acount... How can i get it back ?

Dear team, I request support to search and find my data syncronized in the mozilla firefox account, which has been lost unexpectedly and I don't know where it is. I am using ubuntu LTS 22, I have uninstalled the package and made a clean install, with the reason that all my browser data disappeared overnight, as if it was its first use, my session in the firefox account and all my data disappeared. After installing the clean copy, I opened my account to synchronize my data, bookmarks and history, themes and extensions, unfortunately none of this happened, I don't know where all my private data is, which I left available to synchronize and recover again, I request a copy of them to restore them and to return the flow through the synchronization function so that they appear again, contact me at this same email. Best regards, stay connected

I keep landing on this page on a loop after I have used my Gmail account to sign in. Somehow it keeps looping. I select "Continue with Gmail" and then choose my already signed-in Google account. But it takes me to the same page I started with (attached below). What am I missing here?

I Did the windows fresh installation on my laptop and then I installed the fresh firefox on my laptop. After that try to sign in my previous Firefox account and try to sync my bookmarks and everything. but sync is not working.

I try to do the force sync from the settings as well but that is still not sync my old bookmarks and saved things before I format my laptop.

Any Idea or workaround to get this sorted ?

For the past two months, I've been trying to sync Firefox (114.1.1) on my Samsung Galaxy phone (SM-N950U) with Firefox browser (114.0.1) on my Windows 11 Home laptop. On the phone, it works fine. On the browser, when I go to firefox.com/pair ... I get to the screen with the bar code, when I scan that bar code on my phone, the windows Firefox browser gives me an Error 500 (see attached.) Your help is appreciated!

Firefox was crashing my phone (android) all of the time (not the problem) so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and was assured this would not be a problem as mozilla store all logins book marks etc, on their servers and a simple sync would restore all of that. It did not. I've since discovered that in actual fact reseting your password is pretty much the same as deleting your ENTIRE account, including all of my saved logins, bookmarks etc. This is unbelievable to me. I literally cannot believe that a tech organisation as large as mozilla has no way of retrieving, or allowing me to retrieve my own data because i changed my password. That's not my account. That's an entirely new account... or is it? Please help.

Hello everyone, forgive me for being hyperbolic but I am experiencing a slight anxiety attack. I'm typing this from an old back up Gmail that I had to use to create a new Firefox account.

I was unexpectedly locked out of my Firefox account on August 3rd. I do not know why I was disconnected but I have reset my password via my primary Gmail linked to the account. Unfortunately, I cannot log in to my original/primary Firefox account now due to it asking me for my security code, which I have not received. I should mention that I do have a slightly outdated smartphone, and therefore cannot install an authentication app to get the code. Edit: I was able to install Google's Authenticator app but can't get any codes, and I haven't been able to find any QR codes to scan or enter any set up keys.

When I do select the 'Trouble entering code?', I am being asked to enter a backup authentication code that was set up during my 2-FA. Unfortunately, I cannot remember it nor have I saved it because I did not expect to be logged out of my account so suddenly. I do not remember the account recovery key either.

I am unable to log in, to sync my bookmarks/data or even turn off the 2-FA. Is there any other way for my account's 2-FA to be temporarily disabled? I would love to be able to receive the security through my phone's texting/SMS service or the primary Gmail that I signed up with, just to be able to log in and fix everything.

I would really appreciate any assistance on this matter as I am worried about losing my data/bookmarks. I had to log out of my primary Firefox account just to make this new one and ask this question, and now I'm extremely panicking that all of my data on my primary Firefox account is gone. I have used my private Gmail for ages to link my primary Firefox account, with bookmarks going back as far as 2012-2013. It does not seem fair to lose access just because I was unexpectedly locked out. I do not want to keep using this old and frankly, childish Gmail account to sync up to Firefox. I want to keep using my private Gmail to sync everything up instead.

Apologies again for the frantic-sounding request but, thank you for reading.

Just updated my firefox browseron my windows laptop and lost my sync to my iphone 12. I followed the directions to set it up but my iphone does not have "sync and save data" in the menu of the IOS firefox app. Any advice?

Hello friends There is a serious problem syncing my Firefox data. After I uninstalled the old firefox and installed the new firefox on the new windows, I logged into my firefox account but none of my old data was transferred. Plugins, bookmarks, passwords, and other previous information usually need to be synced. Please help me to fix the problem and sync my account information in the new firefox.

Note: I have been using this account for several years.

I recently updated browser and now I have a tab that I can't get rid of, I think it's the sync set up tab because it wants me to sync all my devices with firefox. It currently sits at 33% wanting me to upload firefox on my devices. I like firefox I've been using it as default browser on my computer since the beginning and with that being said I just want to keep things the way they are, I don't want to sync everything. To be honest I have loaded firefox on my iPhone a while back and never really used it as I'm accustom to Safari on the iPhone. I'm old school and old and like things the way they are lol.

The logins that I put manually synchronize with the account between the devices, however, the passwords that i imported from chrome through the .csv file do not sync.

I currently use Chrome on Android & Chromebook as my main browser, but I would like to switch to using Firefox now across all my devices (linux, android, chromebook). To do this, I need to import my passwords from Chrome to Firefox, and have them sync between the Firefoxes on all of my devices, but it's not working. I have tried the following:

Method 1: I installed Chrome on my new Linux machine. Checked and made sure it had synced my passwords by logging into a website using Chrome. Then, on Firefox, I pressed alt to enable the toolbar, then File->Import from another browser. The pop-up says "No programs that contain bookmarks, history, or password data could be found."

Method 2: Chrome seems to have a feature to export the passwords to csv. So I exported the passwords from Chrome to a csv on Linux. To be thorough (because I am having trouble getting this to work), I used accounts.firefox.com to sign out the Firefox on my android phone and chromebook, then (on the phone) I deleted my browsing data, uninstalled firefox, and rebooted the phone. Back on Linux, I did about:config, then set signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled to true, then did about:logins then menu->"import from a file", selected the csv that I just exported from Chrome, and clicked Import. Import Complete, 332 logins added, 1 not added because it was missing a password. Logins successfully imported, hooray! For testing purposes, I create a unique new password entry, http://foo.com username "a" password "b". Then I go to about:preferences, make sure that syncing is on and I'm currently syncing logins and passwords, and press "sync now". Log in to my phone, install Firefox from the play store, start it up, sign in using my email and password (it says "syncing"), go to logins and passwords, click "saved logins". The only one listed is for foo.com, the fake one I created to test the syncing, but I expected to see all 333 there.

How do I get this to work?

I recently wanted to switch to using Firefox passwords from LastPass. I imported my passwords from LastPass into Firefox Browser on my personal Laptop. I have enabled password sync, besides all other things. Yet the passwords do not seem to be syncing. I have been trying multiple things since yesterday, but nothing seems to fix the issue, like logging out and logging back in, trying to manually sync etc. This seems like a bug to me.

I wanted to start using Firefix passwords on my Android device as well, but this issue is making it difficult for me. Please look into this issue asap.
