Every time I log in with my Firefox account on a new device, the exceptions I set under Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Cookies and Site Data When Firefox Closes -> Manage Exceptions disappear. This should definitely be included in synchronization. Let's be clear: I don't want my cookies saved so I can log into all my accounts every time. I just want my exceptions to be included in synchronization. Firefox could also develop a tool for this: an add-on to easily add websites to exceptions. I don't want to download an external add-on and install it every time for something this simple. Nobody wants that. I also think all my settings should be included in the synchronization scope.

I cloned my 2017 intel iMac onto an M2 Macbook Air. Since one week I use them independently and keep Firefox synchronized. I changed their names in Firefox sync. But under "connected devices" at first there was only one of them, depending on which one I refreshed the open window first. I tried to separate them by logging out and in again, but now both are gone in the list. Nevertheless, syncing works. I hope my Mozilla account won't get garbled up.

Tried to sign in to Firefox on a Linux laptop; searched for a password and finally found it under "a" for accounts;maybe my error. Tried to sync. bookmarks etc. from Android phone and it suggest two non existent menu options: Sign in and - i've forgotten; Sync between devices maybe; anyway nothing resembling either was in the menu so it is at least satisfying to know you can delete a browser with no concern that anything useful or even functional is to be missed.

Hi everyone, I’m using multiple Firefox profiles to separate my work environments (e.g., “Work”, “University”, “Personal”), all linked to the same Firefox account.

What I would like to do is:

Use the same Firefox account across multiple profiles to keep extensions, passwords, etc., synchronized.

Sync bookmarks only within the same profile, so that bookmarks from the “Work” profile do not appear in the “University” profile and vice versa.

Continue to be able to edit bookmarks from different devices (home or office) while keeping them synced only within the same profile.

I’ve looked into Firefox settings and sync options, but it seems Firefox syncs everything across all profiles connected to the same account.

My questions:

Is there a native way or any setting to have bookmarks synced separately per profile while using the same account?

If this is not possible at the moment, could this be considered as a potential feature for the future?

Thanks for any suggestions or guidance!

I have a new computer and I want to sync my Firefox account but the Sign In button next to Sync and save data options are missing from the browsers in both devices.

How do I fix this issue?

Trying to sync my old PC to my new PC by using sync to my iPhone and then back to the new PC Following online instructions for phone to PC but the instruction to go to the menu and tap Sync and save data does not exist. I’ve already downloaded Firefox on my iPhone but it keeps asking me to download Firefox Very frustrating. Please help, thank you.

Multiple profiles are for different behaviour on the same, say Linux device, with different settings How does this interact with syncing? E.g., I want different settings, but the tabs should be synced?

The bar across the top (has "View recent browsing across Windows and devices" at the left end) has far too many remembered tabs. It's only happening on this platform (my wife's) and not on mine. Both running Windows 10, although I'm switching us both to newer platforms because of Windows 11.

There must be some way to turn off that bar in this platform, but I can't understand all the Firefox on-line help documents, because there's no place where there is a diagram indicating what that bar is called.

bol it's really frustrating because again I only have one device a Motorola cell phone and I don't have any kind of computers or laptops or anything else and it's always talking me to sync my tabs for my other devices and this and that and it's really frustrating because I don't work I'm on ssti I don't go to school and it's always telling me that my I have an administrator on my account that's for my work or school or something like that when all it is is hackers have taken over my phone and hijacked everything in my life because of my old roommate David Floyd Lee

On windows 10, Firefox Browsing/surfing was slow so I did netsh winsock reset and ip reset etc.

But thereafter few sites in-page notifications aren’t loading properly like facebook notifications, forum notifications, amazon page etc.

Nothing works irrespective of cookie or entire history deletion.

I had to fiddle with the networking settings few months back so unsure what are the stock FF settings- what they should be like. I wasn’t able to find on google.

I did performed a FF refresh and even created a now profile and that works absolutely fine!

But the moment I log into my FF cloud account for re-syncing all add-ons, bookmarks etc and dang the issue reverts. So I think 110% the FF account sync is restoring back the network settings I did some time ago overriding the default ones hence the good up.

All other browsers like edge/chrome are working fine.

What I want is-

   * The default FF network settings which I can correct and re-sync back to my FF cloud account.
   * Or a way to only restore bookmarks and extensions/add-ons and nothing else from the cloud account.

Hi, I'd like to know how to transfer all my Zen info (including passwords, workspace, history, tabs,... everything), from a previous version or from a mac to another?

Thanks. Joel

How to make Firefox my default browser on my new computer a Windows 11 computer. I’m to the point where I’ve got a pop-up window, which says sync Firefox on your phone or tablet. I am asked toOpen Firefox on my mobile device. Then Go to the menu and tap sign in. That’s where I am. Now I’m asked to tap “ready to scan” and hold my phone over the code. Unfortunately, my Firefox app does not show a ready to scan option after I get to sign in. Help!!

I made sure to sign in and hit sync on my browser prior to moving over to my new computer. I've logged in on my new computer and manually hit the sync button but my passwords and bookmarks are not populating.

How do I sign out of FF on my Iphone? When I attempt to log out of either the computer or the phone it stops sync. I want to be able to use firefox on the phone without having the computer on???!!!

I was logged out of both computers so when I signed back in to sync my desktop to my laptop, it would not sync my rows that I have on my desktop I ended up changing two bookmarks on the homepage Rows when I was signed out but they would not change on my laptop when I was signed back in I had to do it manually, but if I stay signed in, I'm sure that it will change but how fast is it supposed to do that because I waited at least five minutes and nothing changed. I also clicked on my icon and clicked on sync now, but nothing changed.
