I've had no issues with Firefox Sync on desktop but frequent issues on Android.

I've reported issues previously here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1879003

Yesterday, it failed in a different way, announcing that I needed to sign into Sync. I've tried a dozen times yesterday and today using both QR scan and email confirmation. All fail in various ways. For example:

• After scanning QR code: "500 Error Oh dear, something went wrong there"
• After scanning QR code: "Pairing not successful. Error while creating the pairing channel"
• After scanning QR code and approving on mobile device and desktop, desktop says success, but phone stays on "Approval now required from your other device" Interestingly this page isn't open in the normal browser. If I click the three dot menu, it says "POWERED BY FIREFOX, Open in Firefox"
• After going through all the steps and it saying "You're signed into Firefox," yet when I go to share a tab, it asked me to sign in.

Any tips on getting Firefox Sync to work? I don't see any troubleshooting sections in the online help articles.

Hi, I have a problem with remembering the login details on the account - the point is that everything works fine on the browser on the computer, while on the browser on the phone (android) it sees the login details, but after selecting it, it does not complete the login fields as if there were no such data and they are, after checking the tab "saved login details" and finding the login, I manually copy the data and paste it on the page, then I log in ok. Why does the login not work with saved logins? Has anyone had or has the same problems? P.S Synchronization is done, the browser is reinstalled, it's the same on another phone

i have a mozilla account. I am pretty sure I am logged in on both desktop, laptop and android.

no matter what I do, the "sync and save data"option on android does not appear. when I view the qr code on my android galaxy a14 5g android version 13 it takes me to the google play store where my choices are open or uninstall. when I tap open, it asks "do you want to leave firefox?". google play screen re-appears. 2nd time I tap to open, it just displays the url and android browser is blank. mzl.la/3NDxAIS

how can I sync my android version 121.1.0 to my desktop?

Сбросила до заводских настроек Samsung galaxy tab 3 (sm-t 310, android 4.4.2). До этого Firefox замечательно обновлялся через Google play до последней версии (как и сам googleplay). Теперь получилось даже аккаунт Google восстановить. Но вот Firefox не хочет ни в аккаунт входить, ни синхронизироватья. Как все таки войти в аккаунт?

Facts 1. I reset my desktop and needed to login from scratch. 2. I have 2 step authentication on 3. I forgot which authentication app I used for firefox 4. So I used email to login (or try to login anyways).. I requested several emails

Problem 5. The EXACT same situation here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1356051#question-reply) happened to me: firefox claimed they were sending me emails, that had codes but didn't receive ANY email

More facts: 6. I read the article cited in 5. And installed authy, and sure enough was able to login 7. I got multiple back up options to log in now (got plenty of emails now)..

QUESTION: 8. Why did I get emails from 6. But not 4.? I suspect something is messed up on the security side of Firefox

See image

My phone was in middle of crashing so I got a back up plan with Goog one , however they lost almost everything. Lost passwords etc. Had to reset my Firefox password, didn't have my account recovery key before, lost with Goog, now I have found my Account Recovery key returned, couldn't find anywhere in my account that shows where to enter the Key to recover saved data in Firefox, clicked on forgot password after trying my real password to no avail. Where do I enter recovery key. Email I got MozillaFirefox only said I can now use Mozzila Support said nothing about account recovery. Thank you

I don't know if syncing's the problem. My business email is locked. I haven't been able to use it and it is critical that I have this working. Can I chat with someone?

Hello,

I have an old account that I'm locked out from. The two factor authentication is activated but I don't have access to that device nor do I have the recovery codes. The email registered is an old one that I do not care much about anymore. However, the recovery email/secondary one is my regular email address that I do use daily. Is it possible to have that one removed from the old account so that I can create a new one using that email? It's super annoying being prevented from registering an account using two of my email addresses.

Thanks!
