Dont give me the link of the how to with a desktop/laptop/typerwriter i left that obsolete trash behind 10 years ago.

Im getting pretty annoyed at the lack of possiblities of importing bookmarks. There seem to be no available apps that deal with this and of course mozilla hasnt caught on that this is a common sense requirement of users 🙄

Someone tell me there is an option to import bookmarks that im missing please.

Hi All

Quick Question - I was stupid and reset my account forgetting I had a recovery key so lost all my data. I realized an old iphone still has most of my bookmarks - how can I export from Firefox iOS app without syncing with my firefox account (which will then wipe out the data)

is this possible? Or could I create a new firefox account, then login into on my phone while keeping my bookmarks? Then export when the new account sync my old phone's data by logging into the new account on my computer? Thanks!!

I just changed phones and providers. The provider transferred all data to the new phone, but Firefox and Firefox Focus did not transfer, and had to be reinstalled. I stored my passwords on Firefox and can't access them on my new phone. It keeps telling me to log in on my computer, but the only computer that was synced was lost or stlen a year ago while I was hospitalised for major surgery. I reported this to Mozilla at that time. I just need to access my passwords on my new phone. HELP!

I have just reactivated a (duplicate) computer which I have only used 2 or3 times in the last year. I have been asked to re-input my Firefox password. Now it wants me to sync Firefox with my (android) phone.

For some reason, Firefox has not been installed on my phone, although other browsers that I have never previously heard of seem to have auto-installed themselves.

I have tried to download the "no fuss" version of Firefox, but it is asking for credit card details. Other browsers allowed me to skip this step, but Firefox will not allow me to proceed, and does not provide a "skip" facillity.

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to allow my credit card details to be stored on my phone or in a browser. Storing the credit card data would not confer any advantage, because I have multiple credit cards, and I select the card for each transaction according to my location, the currency being billed, and whether the card offers cashback or loyalty points for the type of transaction I am making.

Has anybody else encountered this problem ?

With site permissions for location set to "ask to allow" I respond by allowing access to my location for a specific website, but it continuously reverts to "blocked" quickly and automatically on Firefox for Android. How do I fix this problem? I want this site to continue to access my location without intermittent blocking., as it has for more than one year without problems.

There seems to be no way to delete more than one saved password. In the Android most recent version of Firefox, and also in the Firefox Beta for Android period I've tried to sign on to my Firefox account my mozilla account and there's no way to delete the passwords there either period I would like to delete all passwords, and I have thousands that I've saved Uber the past few years, so I have to have an easier way to delete all of these other than sitting here for hours, clicking delete 3 times To remove the passwords from the browser things I have done, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application, I have deleted the app data and cash and then reinstall the application on all of my other devices, I have also turned off the saving of passwords and yet these passwords remain could you please? Give me. A good response so that I can get my personal passwords off of my phone period that's what I would really like! Thank you, Jacob.

The subject says it all.

Catastrophic Macbook failure where I had to reboot the entire system. Luckily my phone still was signed into my Firefox account so I thought my bookmarks were safe. When I redownloaded and signed into Firefox from my Macbook I had no Bookmarks, no backup file, clicked sync, nothing happened. I still had all my bookmarks on my iPhone Firefox there and tried sync there.

Instead of syncing all my existing bookmarks or giving me a warning I was going to sync my Macbook(missing all bookmarks) to my iPhone(still had all bookmarks) it sync'd to now the iphone having no bookmarks, account passwords or cookies.

I have read through all the articles, I have tried to contact any support. Please help.

Thanks, Garrrett
