Until a few days ago, when I shared tabs from my mobile device to my desktop, it opened in a new tab or tabs in the active window on my desktop. Now all of the shared tabs are opening in their own window. Is there a way to adjust this in Settings?

Hello.

I am trying to send tabs from my mobile Firefox app to my laptop firefox browser. When I woke up this morning. I tried to send tabs to my laptop and they all opened up in the private browser. Is there a setting I can change that when I share tabs from my phone to my computer it opens in the regular firefox browser?

Instructions to sync laptop win 11 pro to android phone or tablet don't work. Cannot find any way way within Android App to scan code on laptop screen.

Need another way to sync all my devices to my laptops.

2 Win 11 Pro Laptops 2 Android Phones one Android Tablet.

All show up as connected devices on my phone but none of them syncing with others.

I want all of them to sync together for FireFox tabs Settings and Passwords and logins.

Wenn ich mich auf einigen Seiten anmelden möchte, erscheint dann dieses Fenster: ' Zum synchronisieren anmelden' 'und probieren sie andere Schutzwerkzeuge von Mozilla aus'. Ich möchte nichts davon, ich möchte mich nur ganz normal anmelden.

I have two profiles, one for work and one for my personal in the same account. I need to sync both of my profiles but do not want the information in the two profiles mixed together. I need to sync the information as I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for work, and mobile devices and another laptop for personal matters. If I am on work travel and need to access my personal profile on my laptop (because schlepping two machines is silly!), I want to switch my profile to the personal one. then when I am done I want to switch back to the work profile. How can I do this and is firefox set up to do this?

Like many I was confused about the recent message regarding the free VPN which is being rolled out. I have no ICON in Firefox, and whilst I now understand that this is because it is being rolled out gradually, I did initially try a couple of things to try to find it. One of these was to sign in to my account, however, when I did this my browser went crazy. Loads of bookmarks disappeared, as did all the folders that I had these filed in, and loads of very old redundant bookmarks that I had long ago deleted were back. It seems that Firefox synced with 'something', but as I only ever use Firefox on this PC, I don't know what. Also, the browser no longer worked - I could search for anything and I got results, but I got a crash message if I clicked on any of them. Using Edge to search instead, I discovered how to roll back a sync, so I did that and now Firefox is back to normal with all my current bookmarks, history etc.. Obviously I am not inclined to sign in to my account again for fear of this happening again. I assume that when the free VPN finally becomes available to me I will need to sign in. My question then is: is there a way of signing in to my account without initiating a sync of any kind so that my browser stays as it is? (I am actually using Edge to ask this question as I couldn't pose it without signing in and didn't want to risk doing that in Firefox!)

I cannot find the menu item on my mobile device to sync my Firefox account. When I select "menu" it doesn't have that as an option; it only shows me other topics I have used Firefox to search.

After copying profile that's already synced to my old account, I'm unable to set sync that copied profile to new mozilla account. According to support page, it should sync just fine by using different mozilla account. From what I noticed, this new copy profiles feature doesn't make a new profile in about:profiles, could this be an issue?

Firefox account keeps search history even though only bookmark sync is turned on. I logged out from firefox mobile, deleted firefox mobile, reinstalled firefox mobile, relogged in to firefox mobile and I see again the search history. How can I remove permanently the search history and how can I disable permanently search history saving even though only bookmark sync is turned on?
