I bought a new computer and logged into Firefox, but do not see the profiles I created on my previous pc.
I have multiple profiles created on Firefox. This weekend I bought a new computer. I downloaded Firefox and logged in. None of my profiles are there. How can I sync those or bring them over? I have accounts on those browsers that I need to be able to access. Thank you.

Hi,
You can only sync one profile per account. So what you need is to make sure you are signed in to a unique account in each of the profiles, and then create similar profiles on your new PC and sign in to the corresponding accounts there.
Same for so many of us.
I feel the need to synch Profiles via a single Mozilla Account is imperative.
Without it: profiles value are reduced so low as to not be viable.
Backing-up and copying & using a Profile from a second or third of forth computer is: not viable.
The other option of building some sort of automated scripting is: beyond the reach of 99% of users, brittle, likely insecure, asking for trouble.
Here is hoping the Foundation adds this in a coming release. Thank you very much to the Foundation for their wonderful work. Huge supporter & firm believer. Thank you.

Cross-posting from a similar thread, if you want to make any suggestions or share any feedback, Mozilla Connect would be the right place. Please also note that it's Mozilla Corporation, not Mozilla Foundation, that develops Firefox.
