I got a new device and had to sign in and sync everything. When firefox asked about syncing I didn't realize it was asking about using the edge bookmarks to sync with. I tried to cancel but it was too late. Can I undo/remove firefox syncing to edge? Does this mean any changes in Edge will automatically change firefox now? I do not want edge bookmarks/settings. I want to get my old firefox settings back. If it matters: Windows 10 home on one device, Windows 11 on another. All browsers up-to-date.

I have an account that has configured as the primary email an address I'm no longer able to use, since it was from a previous company. The same account also has a secondary email address that was already added to the account. Even if the secondary address was added before, when trying to make the secondary address the primary, it still sends the validation code to the first address. The same happens if I try to complete delete the account. I do have the user/password of the account and also the recovery key.

Is it possible to have the second email marked as primary or the account deleted somehow? Thanks!

Hello everyone,i lost my saved datas like history,saved password etc when i changed my gmail password which i used to syc my firefox account.I wonder why it happened because i did not tick the box asking if i want to delete them.I also used another laptop to check and the data i lost in my other laptop were there.I added secondary email as back up and clicked to change the new email to primary only for me to see my data got lost from the second laptop again.why? i tried to change the password of my first primary email back to the old password but google did not allow me.My question is,can changing back to my password back to the old one bring my lost data back? i asked because that was the password used by firefox to save my data in their server.will google ever allow me to change back to old password after sometime? what i am amazed at is that i login using other browswer with the new pasword on another laptop and i got back my syc datas.Thanks in advance for your feed back.

I am using "multiple account containers" and when I remove a site from "manage site list" after a while, after synchronization, the site will again appear in the site list and when opening that site will still offer me to open in this container.

How can I permanently remove a site from "site list"?

Hey all, (thanks for the continued work on firefox and happy new year) I use Firefox sync from multiple devices in my ecosystem, a micture of all three main OS (Windows, Linux and macOS / IOS). Some time ago, I must have had one device which probably generated a new device UID everytime it synced, or some kind of bug in the Firefox IOS client. This results in having a large magnitude of devices in my firefox sync account. I can only delete them one-by-one with a confirmation dialogue and a reload of the page, which is really cumbersome. I have the feature request of some easier device management policy here. Ideas would be either a "delete all" button and afterwards signing in again on all still active devices, or a series of check boxes to perform actions like a delete on multiple devices at once, perhaps even with a "select all" shortcut at the top. Feasible? Cheers, Niels

HI, Yesterday (Sunday) i backup everything using the sync option. Restarted my computer with a fresh install of windows. Mow when i can to sync again, all of my bookmarks and add-ons etc have gone? Why? Please Help!!!!! Regards Dave

I am having trouble sending tabs from my phone to my PC. My device is connected to my computer, and I can send tabs from my PC to my phone successfully, but not the other way around. I have no idea what could even be the issue, and I have only seen people asking about sending tabs from PC to Mobile, not the other way around. Is there something I am missing? None of the Firefox troubleshoot pages have helped.

hi,

i recently changed my firefox sync password and primary email. no problems here. everything went smoothly. then went away on a little holiday. when i got back, the browser didn't accept my password. thinking 6 days of sun and heat must've melted down my memory cells, i reset it. unproblematic process. received email notifications about the update. but the same thing happened again. i very slowly and carefully typed the password several times, copy&pasted it, just in case, then reset it once more, just in case. then restarted firefox. then deleted and downloaded it again. still doesn't work.

i can log into mozilla acounts with the new password, so the issue with the browser.

please help! i have years of stuff saved on that account - it would be really tragic to lose it.

thank you already.

(also, i don't have 2FA set-up)

I use a public computer that resets itself every night. I want to login to my firefox account so I can receive all my settings, extensions, etc., when I login to sync.

However, when I login to sync, my default search provider remains as Google (the computer's default) and does not change to DuckDuckGo (the settings I previously had synced).

How do I set up sync so that when I login, it pulls all settings, etc., from the cloud, instead of keeping some that were configured locally?

Hello, Whenever I open the Mozilla Firefox browser on my laptop, this issue occurs when I open google calendar in Mozilla Firefox, The date it shows is always 7th August 2023, but not the current date for example today in India is 15th Nov, but you open Google calendar it will show you 7th August and I have to go to 15th Nov manually, and check what meeting I have today. So it's very cumbersome for me now, to go manually to today's date.

I tried to uninstall and install it again but not work, this problem still exists.

please help me ii want this problem to be solved ASAP

I have installed Firefox after some time I had addons, favourites...all gone. i have signed in but nothing to be found. In Edge everytime I sign it or install in another laptop all my data, addons etc is there. Here in Firefox nothing. Why is that? Is it so inferior to the other browsers in this regards? Or maybe it is too complicated to retrieve all this info once you uninstall it?

My question may be a Google question but I have yet to locate a simple answer but it might be a FF issue.

I just updated my Gmail Contacts on my Win 10 laptop. My Android is listed as a known device on Google. After I updated my contacts Google automatically synchs the changes/updates to my Android Galaxy S8 phone. I checked my phone and no updates. I tried synching from my phone but no changes.

My issue isfor the life of me I cannot find EXACTLY where the command option is located for synching contacts in Google. I went "Accounts" management, on the left there are many options.I drilled down and I cannot find 'synching.' I found my device but nothing around there is there an option for synching. I thought as a last resort it might be a FF matter but so far it doesn't seem to be.

So where oh where PLEEEASE PRECISELY, EXACTLY in Google is the synching command option if you can tell me. Thanks for your help.

My bookmarks did not move over after I reset my PC. I have sync on. I logged into the same account. There does not seem to be a backup that I can use. What do I do?

I'm having problems to sync my account with one computer, and apparently the reason is that it cannot reach the sync server

https://sync-1-us-west1-g.sync.services.mozilla.com

I can open the above url from my phone and from one laptop, but I cannot open that address from the laptop that I'm trying to synchronize. I got the address from the sync-log

Sync.Resource WARN GET request to https://sync-1-us-west1-g.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/161701144/info/collections failed: [Exception... "The connection has timed out" nsresult: "0x804b000e (NS_ERROR_NET_TIMEOUT)" location: "<unknown>" data: no] No traceback available

Sync.Service DEBUG verifyLogin failed: [Exception... "The connection has timed out" nsresult: "0x804b000e (NS_ERROR_NET_TIMEOUT)" location: "<unknown>" data: no] No traceback available

Both computers and phone are connected to the same local network.

I installed Firefox on an updated macOS machine. When I linked Sync rearranged sync'd to an old setup on all other devices, Computers, Phones and iPads and not bringing the current setup to the new install. Can I get the previous arrangement back?!

I changed my PC. Then i installed Firefox my new PC and login Firefox account. But my old PC's Firefox account all data will de deleted history passwords etc. It was looks like a new account. How can i restore my old data. My old PC was already formatted.
