Firefox Community Forum

I've synced all my data (including add-ons, passwords, bookmarks, etc) to my firefox binded account on fedora linux then change my linux distro and re-setup firefox on Manjaro KDE, login and etc

found out that everything synced but my previous add-ons and open tabs are gone for good I've so many opened tabs are my custom add-ons settings on so many add-ons for personal preferences are gone

I've faced this many times but I thought somehow these days firefox might have fixed these issues but i'm so sad that all my important data are gone :(

I'm using firefox only just for sync+privacy for hassle free setup again and again over many devices otherwise i prefer tor for much anonymity and privacy

PLEASE, YOU GUYS CONSIDER WORKING ON SYNCHRONIZATION FEATURES SPECIFICALLY <ADD-ONS> AND <OPEN TABS>

thanks for reading and pl igonre my english errors

Is 'Sync Firefox data' a way to 'back-up' your browser?

(ie: Can I retrieve all my urls even if I change my iMac (etc) to a later one?) Is 'Sync Firefox data' the way to do this?

Thank you.

so I did a factory data reset of my s22 Plus last week and I just tried to send it a tab from my Mac to my phone which doesn't work but it works the other way. The device was still signed into my account I signed it out sign it back in from the phone and every time I try to scan the QR code to connect another device from the QR code scanner in the search bar of the Firefox browser it keeps saying that I need to use like another app because it thinks it thinks I'm using the phones camera I'm not quite sure where to go from here

so i signed into my firefox account on a new computer and every time i hit the sync now button it brings a pop up for half a second then it disappears and no changes happen to my bookmarks or any of my other synced data.looked through the forums could not find anything that was even similar to my problem

Recently had to get my phone repaired and did a backup beforehand (and Firefox sync was on) but when I restored my data Firefox was empty, all tabs gone. Is there any way to get them back? And if not, any way to prevent this in the future? (I did look into my history, there are no previous tabs closed)

Thank you in advance!

Dear Support,

I have two laptops - both identical accounts signed in and would like to sync them so that when I open Firefox on laptop 2 it will show me Firefox on laptop 1. and if laptop 2 was last used, then when open laptop 1, it shows me Firefox on laptop 2.

currently it is separate and unique instances.

how do i automate the sync?

thanks, Nicholas

I had a Firefox debian version installed on my desktop running Ubuntu Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and now I just installed the latest 143.0.1 "Mozilla Firefox Flatpak" version.

How can I synchoronized or migrate all my data such as bookmarks, add-ons, open tabs, settings for syncing ?

Thanks in advance for prompt clear step by step answer.

I originally setup my account under a business email address that I do not operate or have access to that email. When I log in it wants to send a code to the registered email but I don’t have anyway to get that code. How do I bypass this? I’m trying to sync everything to my iPad from my desktop.

I set up sync, I went thru my old passwords on my Mac browser Firefox and deleted many old/dead ones, expected to see the list on my iPhone Firefox browser to match. Signed in properly on both, pressed sync several times each time showing complete.

I'm still seeing PW's I deleted on my Mac in my Iphone's list...

What could be the problem? I have uBlock Origin ad blocker installed.

Thanks

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I am facing an issue with Firefox Sync. I have logged in using the same Firefox account on my new device (or after reinstalling), but my bookmarks, saved passwords, and other synced data are not appearing.

I have tried signing in again, checked my internet connection, and confirmed that I am using the correct Firefox account. Despite this, nothing is syncing.

Please help me restore my synced data. I would really appreciate your support.

Thank you, Shubham Sen
