trying to pair iphone firefox to desktop firefox. i can the desktop bar code and it asks for an authenication number. when i go to the google authenicator app on my iphone it has a 6 digit number but the desktop does not accept it. Am i getting the code from the correct place?

I'm using Firefox to save my passwords, but I'm having troubles in having a good experience with it now that lockwise is gone. And lockwise was not perfect either but still better.

If I create a new account on an app Firefox doesn't provide a way to autogenerate a password and then save the login data.

Please improve this feature because it is vital, especially if you deprecate the alternative.

Cheers

Log in accepts email and password, then sends authorization code, but when code is entered screen refreshes to display "Incorrect password" and strangely changes the correct email address to an old address that has never been associated with this brand new MacBook Pro.

Note: the old email address was previously used with my Firefox Sync account years ago, but was changed.

Same result replicated several times.

I remain logged in on other devices. Only the new MacBook Pro has this issue.

I used different methods like this one but it seems none of them are working. These are steps I'm doing:

• Closing firefox
• Deleteing new logins.json and key4.db
• copying old logins.json and key3.db

However as soon as I open firefox it will create a key4.db file and overwrite login.json. I checked my old login.json is in correct format.

I'm interested in listing what bookmarks are being synched. You'd think that's the dumbest question on earth. Obviously, just look at my bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+o. There they are. But that's not what I'm asking. I want to see what has been stored on the Mozilla site in the way of bookmarks. I want to see what Mozilla will send to a second device when I get on that second device & tell the Firefox on the second device to synch. And not just bookmarks. I want to see everything that will get downloaded onto the second device when it synchs. I suppose it depends partly on what the second device is: PC, phone, something else. But that doesn't change my question. I'd like to list what is on the Mozilla site in the way of synching data. It's all well & good to say it's doing what it needs to. I think I'm in the trust but verify camp on this subject.

Hello,

I try to sync with my work computer (windows 10) but nothing is imported. No bookmark, no password, nothing. I do not have any error message it seems.

What information could be useful to resolve this problem ? thank in advance.

Hello *all,

around two weeks ago i had a profile conflict in Firefox on our Terminal Server. Before then i used Sync flawlessly between different devices. Since then my Firefox Instance within the Terminal Server environment is not sying anymore. I tried to reset firefox, delete all profiles, logou and on agin to sync, nothing fixes the problem.

Any ideas?

I can't get my Motorola G7 power phone to sync with my HP 15 Notebook laptop. They're both on the same network and I'm opening both of my browsers and Firefox wisher set as my default browsers and my phone will not pull up the QR scan code app.

I just synced two new devices (Android phone and tablet) using the scanned QR code because I got the error message that the password I was trying to use was incorrect. I don't understand what has happened, as I am "signed in" on desktop, laptop and those two devices with that password, as far as I know.

I was trying to set up the Recovery Key, but that also tells me that the current password is incorrect. I do not want to lose all of my saved passwords, history, etc., which is what it sounds like will happen if I try to reset my password.

Help!

Hello Everyone,

I have a Firefox account and I used to have all my passwords saved in Lockwise app (on my Huawei mobile) and in Lockwise section on my laptop (Linux) and all these passwords were synced across all my devices. I changed my mobile to IPhone and I didn't install Lockwise but I was still able to get to my logins via my laptop. And I was very cautious that I kept syncing every now and then.

The problem is that I formatted my laptop recently to windows 11, when I installed Firefox on my laptop again I was expecting to be able to retrieve all my passwords (around 200 entries) since everything was synced, but to my surprise everything was lost except for 16 entries.

Is there any way to backup my old list of passwords?

Please note that I still have my old phone (Huawei) with the old passwords list and the auto sync turned off. Is there any way to backup these passwords from Huawei to Iphone and to my Laptop?

I downloaded Firefox lockwise to my laptop. I am running windows 7. Then i hit sync to my mobile phone, which does not have firefox on it. Now my phone is asking for a password to unlock the phone. I have tried numerous passwords and still can't unlock the phone. My landline phone number is showing up on the screen when I push the on button, but when I swipe the screen it shows enter password to unlock. How do I get back to normal on my phone and delete sync from the phone? I have disconnected sync on my laptop with no success. Help ASAP please. email:

Good day, i am unable to sync Firefox (desktop) to Firefox Android. After QR code scan and Approval, it stays stucked at this page. I tried on a different Android devices and same issue. I tried using email to login, same issue. It shows as "Working"

Hey I was just trying to login to my account after I created a new windows and I got this issue The confirmation email we sent to *********@gmail.com was returned and we’ve locked your account to protect your Firefox data.

If this is a valid email address, let us know and we can help unlock your account. No longer own that email? Create a new account

Well can you just unlock my account as I know the password and have big data needed there. Also this email is closed by google and I mean closed not forgotten so it won't receive any emails.

Hi, I have three subdomains and I saved more than one user for these domains. when I try to login , mozilla show me all saved users for all sub domains . But ı try to login for only sub1.maindomain.com I dont need to see all list for sub1 sub2 and sub3. How can disable this option and see only saved users for related one sub domain Examp: sub1.maindomain.com sub2.maindomain.com sub3.maindomain.com

I installed Firefox on a new device and initiated a sync for multi-account containers - it promptly synced in the wrong direction. It eliminated all customization from what should have been the source (the existing device), overwriting it with the default settings of a first-time installation. I was quite surprised.

This leads me to a couple of questions.

1. Is there a sync version history or any way of rolling back a sync? 2. Is there a way to explicitly choose the sync direction?

Quite honestly it is very confusing that there is no reference whatsoever to which way an initial sync will go. I was hesitant to risk this, decided to trust it knew what to do (even though it didn't give me any indication that it did) and lost my gamble.

Firefox knows the device names, so can I suggest some basic reassuring UX be inserted into this process with something like "Initiate sync from X-DEVICE-FIREFOX to Y-DEVICE-FIREFOX?". A bit of clarity would be helpful here, as well as a way to roll back a syncing mistake instead of just having to gamble possibly losing hard-won customization with no going back.

Or have I completely stumbled past some obvious place where everything I'm requesting exists and is accessible already?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
