If you've run into a problem with Firefox Sync, this article will walk you through the most common solutions.

I set up Firefox Sync but nothing is syncing

Your devices need to be on the new version of Sync in order for them to share information with each other. If any of your devices are still on the old Sync, you must unlink them before setting them up with the new Sync. Please see Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more for step-by-step instructions.

Passwords will stop syncing in Firefox for Android once the Primary Password has been set. See Use Primary Password to protect passwords in Firefox for Android for more info.

My bookmarks aren't syncing to Firefox for Android

If you have more than 5,000 bookmarks in your Firefox profile, Firefox for Android won't sync them. Some limitations in Android and Sync itself make larger quantities of bookmarks unreliable, so this limit is there to protect your data.

  1. In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and then select Preferences or Settings, depending on your macOS version.Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. Select the SyncFirefox Account panel.
  3. Click Sign in and enter your password in the sign in page.
  4. Click Sign in to sign back in to Sync.

Other devices disconnect when I update Firefox

To improve the Sync service, the Sync data format may be changed when the latest Firefox version is released. This means that any of your other devices which have not been updated will need to be updated in order to keep syncing. See Update Firefox for more information.

Note: After updating, you may need to reconnect your device.
