Firefox Sync - Missing Option to Open All Synced Tabs on Desktop

Historically, I remember when you open the `sync` sidebar and right click on the tab grouping (i.e. Firefox on iPad), it opened a context menu where you had the option to `open all synced tabs`. This seems to be missing from the latest version of Firefox (138), but wanted to check in to see if I'm missing something or if I should downgrade my version of Firefox to get that functionality again.

Respectable, I’m having trouble with Firefox Sync, particularly related to backing up and recovering my bookmarks, history, and saved data. I want to ensure that my data is properly backed up and can be recovered on a new device or after reinstalling Firefox. Please help me understand how to verify if my sync is working and how to recover synced data.

Hi, I have two laptops, and I've been using my Firefox account on one of them only. I want to link / sync the other laptop, and have the combined set of bookmarks from both laptops saved to my account. I want to make sure not to lose existing bookmarks from either one. That is, I don't want the sync to delete existing bookmarks on the laptop which is not yet connected. I want the two sets of bookmarks to be combined into one. How do I do that?

Many thanks, Noam

Settings for synchronizing two existing machines.

Hi I have used two computers for different purposes and places, but have had the same account with passwords synchronized on both machines. I would like to synchronize everything - especially bookmarks and payment methods - on the machines. My question is: what happens if I 'just' set synchronization active in all sections on both machines? Is one of the machines considered the 'master' machine, so its 'content' is synchronized to the other, so that content that was not on the 'master' machine is deleted? Or is everything preserved, so I have all content from both machines on both machines? Where can I possibly find more detailed information about this? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I have looked through previous answers and the one suggested changing my mozilla account password, will this still delete data synced to the server? I tried signing out my account but that doesn't delete synced data. I want to keep the data on the computer, just remove it from the data from the server.

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way that I can only sync certain things from my firefox browser to my firefox developer browser? Everytime I log in to my firefox acount on the developer browser it changes things that I don't want changed. For instance it will change the dark theme from the developer to the regular, and if I turn it off then it also turns off the dark theme on my developer addition, then I have to log out and fix everything on both of them. But it is nice to have my passwords on the developer addition, that is really the only thing I have found so far that I need.
