Why is it so difficult to navigate to ask a question? I'm trying to sync Firefox on my iPhone and my laptop.

From the firefox menu on my iphone: I'm trying to enter my Mozilla password to connect the sync, but nothing is happening. I enter my Mozilla password. I hit the sign in box. It turns a lighter shade of blue and nothing happens from that point on. What am I doing wrong?

phone: iOS 18.3.1 Firefox browser on laptop: 136.0 I'm assuming that firefox on iphone is updated?

Firefox (PC) and Firefox Browser (Android - version 133.0.3) have bookmarks synchronized, but not sorted according to the "Manage Bookmarks" on the latter

Hi all, There is a bug regarding the "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox (Android - version 133.0.3).

Despite being sorted accordingly on PC and synchronized, the mobile version of Firefox for bookmarks are scrambled (see attached image).

On mobile Firefox, it looked like it was sorted according to the "recently added" bookmarks.


To add on for more details, expected results according to the PC version of "Bookmarks Manager", it should have been displayed this way on Android Firefox:

  • Desktop Bookmarks
  • Folder
  • Link 1
  • Link 2
  • Link 3
  • Link 4
  • Link 5
  • Webtoon
  • Twitter

And so on.

I've got Firefox on three devices and I'm looking to get a little more fine grained control between the synced data.

Ideally I want to sync passwords between all three but only sync bookmarks between two of them. This doesn't seem to be possible with the current options. Is there an alternative short of manually exporting and importing on the devices I want to keep in step?

I have setup an account for my mobile devices, a Samsung A25 phone and a Kindle fire HD 10. My original goal was to backup/copy my browsing history from the kindle fire. Tabs and bookmarks seem to be synced to my desktop from the fire but history is not. History from the Samsung appears to be synced to the desktop and the kindle fire but the fire's history does not appear on my desktop. The Firefox version on the kindle is 133.0.3 (Build #2016060959), hg-7ed49fe90e84+ GV: 133.0.3-20241209150345 AS: 133.0. I have tried signing out and in repeatedly on both the desktop and the kindle and did sync now many times. I really want to save this history and I don't think I should have to root the device, with all the problems that causes, just to copy the history file.

firefox on android not showing open tabs from old phone & and synched tabs disappear after a few days

I got a Galaxy s25u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from my s24u.Firefox and all it's bookmarks history and passwords have synched but my open and inactive tabs have not transfered. 2 years ago I used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from a xiaomi mi10 pro to a Galaxy s23u and firefox open and inactive tabs were transfered. Last year I got a Galaxy s24u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from the s23u to the s24u. Again all my inactive and open tabs I'm firefox were transferred. I can still see inactive tabs from 2 years ago that I opened on my s23u on my s24u but I cannot see those same tabs on my s25u. Also if I sync I can see the tabs in synced tabs but after an hour synched tabs is empty. I've had my Galaxy s25u for 6 weeks and I need to sell my s24u but I cannot because I do not want to loose all my tabs. This is costing me a lot of time and money. I also recently closed firefox on my pc (using a different firefox account to my android device) behind the main window was another open window which I then closed. This means that the entire 200 tab session is lost as firefox only has one restore point that overwrites immediately, "restore previous session" no longer exists and tab the tab session manager add on has not worked for 4 years. Mozilla is not my favourite company at the moment.
