Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I recently got a laptop to make my work more flexible and wanted to transfer/sync my Mozilla Firefox data from my desktop PC. I logged into my Mozilla account and synced the laptop with Firefox on my desktop, but it doesn’t open the tabs that are currently open on my desktop.

My question is: is there a way to open all tabs at once, or do I have to open each one individually?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards.

The welcome addition of Tab Groups I just noticed on updating my Firefox, however looking through help and documentation, it's not clear to me if Tab Groups syncrhonise across devices (or at least desktop devices) as like recently added to Chrome. Wished to check if this is case

Need to know how to transfer "Other Bookmarks" from my old desktop Firefox to my new desktop. The other bookmarks does not show on my new desktop. Any suggestions?

My Macbook Pro's Firefox has a convenient bookmark toolbar, my Mac Air's FireFox does not. Can I find a setting on the latter to restore my settings from the former?

Hi,

Today when I powered on my pc and opened up firefox all tabs were lost.

I have the option to retain tabs when opened up enabled.

I could not find them anywhere, so I had to search opened tabs from the other synced devices and click on each of them, and create again all the tab groups.

This is a big problem if randomly all the tabs can get lost, am I doing something wrong?

Another thing : I thought that when I create groups of tabs, and save them I coul retrieve them across all my synced devices, but the other devices can not see those groups, is this a normal behaviour?

Thank you

How do I automatically open all current Firefox tabs from one laptop onto a new computer? I just set-up Firefox app on a new laptop computer, and want to automatically reopen all the tabs that I have open on the old computer onto the new one?

How do I do this without going individual tab by tab?

Thank you for your help.

Hello, I received an email from you asking me to change my Firefox password for account security reasons. When I changed it, all the data synced in Firefox with my email was deleted. This upset me greatly because I lost important data and saved websites. Please restore the deleted data. Thank you.

Hi, I've seen others ask this same question in archived posts with no proper answer.

How do I select all tabs to be imported from a synced machine? I have the list on my sidebar, I can import or close one tab at a time, but there is no menu available to select them all (there are many). Right-clicking on the device name etc. does nothing.

Windows 11, Firefox 141.0

Many thanks for any help!

When the option to sync is present, why doesn't it actually sync all regular settings across multiple devices. Why do I still need to perform extra work, on par with a lobotomy, to get everything exactly as it needs to be? And why is the toolbar customization not in Settings?

You do realize that most people search for SETTINGS when they want to change any aspect of a thing. But you have right-click context menus that nobody knows exist.

At this point, maybe Edge is the better browser. Firefox makes a lot of assumptions of its users. I shouldn't have to meticulously keep track of every single piece of information AFTER a sync to make sure it's all there. It should just exist.

This includes toolbar customization, Home tabs/button setup (I have 3 regular tabs I use, and those did not translate over), Theme (regardless of the system wide theme, because it's already set on the core machine).

I don't enjoy having to google how to use your browser.

I had 10 or so tabs open on my laptop. I rebooted my laptop because iMessages failed, and i forgot to make a note of which tabs were open. They didn't restore upon rebooting. Is there somewhere this history gets synced? Its not in the 'recently closed tabs' because some of the tabs had been open for a while. thoughts?
