I have used Firefox as primary browser on my Mac for many years — never Safari.

Until yesterday, I used Safari as the only browser on my iPhone.

I now see all my Safari bookmarks in the iPhone’s new Firefox browser, but not the important open Safari tabs.

How can I sync my iPhone Safari web page tabs to Firefox on both devices, and sync the Mac’s open Firefox web page tabs to iPhone Firefox?

After copying profile that's already synced to my old account, I'm unable to set sync that copied profile to new mozilla account. According to support page, it should sync just fine by using different mozilla account. From what I noticed, this new copy profiles feature doesn't make a new profile in about:profiles, could this be an issue?

I have my iMac synced to my phone, but every time I click on Sync another device, it keeps referring me to how to sync to my phone, which is already synced! So frustrating, as it shows me no other options! How are we supposed to sync our Firefox to other devices, beside my phone?

Similar names for Connected Services make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices. The workaround is to "send to all devices". I can change my device names but I don't know how to change the Connected Service name. Here are some:

  • * * geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-q551ln-ASUS-Laptop
  • * * Gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-SM
  • * * Firefox on asus ASUS_AI2202
  • * * Geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-iMac
  • * * Firefox on samsung SM-G781V
  • * * gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-LT-SM
  • * * Firefox on SM-G960U1 Santa Maria, CA, United States

How can we improve this? Abbreviate Firefox to "Ff"? Use an in-line Firefox glyph? Also, I have a dualboot and run Lubuntu and Windows from the same device. I wonder how I can handle the device name to differentiate which OS I'm logged into.

I'm trying to find a solution for having all tabs open across devices. Currently, my desktop has about 50 open tabs that I access regularly. Today, I installed Firefox on my laptop, signed in and initiated syncing. All bookmarks came over, everything looks great, except that none of my open tabs from the desktop browser show on my laptop.

I would like to have identical tabs open across devices. Is there a way to configure this where a new computer being logged in automatically receives all open tabs from the initial device and then tabs automatically sync based on whatever is opened/closed on either device after the initial tabs are identically synced?

I set up profiles on my work computer and I have sync set up but when I access firefox on my personal computer I don't have the profiles. Is there a way to sync my profiles as well so I can access them wherever I log into Firefox?

I have extensive bookmark collections organized under my bookmarks toolbar. I use different bookmark sets at home and work. I need them remain separate but would like them to be backed up and synced. For example, if I'm at home, I want to be able to toggle over to my WORK bookmarks with all the latest updates. Basically, I need distinct bookmark identities but don't care about keeping other work/home stuff isolated.

I tried making home and work profiles, but syncing them to my Mozilla account merged the bookmarks which was a mess that took a long time to straighten out.

Can 2 profiles be synced to the same Mozilla account without merging bookmarks toolbars? If I have to create a separate Mozilla account for each profile, that kind of defeats the purpose.

I've looked at the available docs but can't see a fix. Can someone advise how I can either:

A) Sync multiple profiles (with bookmarks) to my Mozilla account without merging the bookmarks toolbars B) Find another solution to let me toggle bookmark sets.
