Hi, I’m having trouble keeping my bookmarks in sync between my Windows laptop and Android phone using Firefox Sync.

I’m logged into the same Firefox account on both devices, and Sync is turned on. However, new bookmarks I add on one device don’t appear on the other.

I’ve already tried:

Signing out and back into my Firefox Account

Forcing a manual sync

Checking that both devices have the latest Firefox version

Is there a way to manually trigger a full re-sync or reset the Sync database without losing data? Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi I bought a new android phone (the Xiaomi Poco F7) and I want to sync the Firefox from my Windows PC to the device. But when I try to scan the QR code it cannot be scanned. Please advise. Thank you

I have a firefox account but I'm trying to move my bookmarks from one computer to the next. I created a firefox account but nothing moved. How can I get my bookmarks to another computer?

When following the instruction to sync bookmarks on Android phone it leads me to items that are not there. Open Firefox mobile on phone. Ok. Hit the 3 dots drop down. Ok. Choose sync and save. Not there? I click my email and it shows sync. I click that and it shows the last time I sync my phone. 0 minutes. Ok. It shows a QR code to scan from the Firefox app. It instructs to click ready to scan. That's not there either. If instructions lead you down paths that are not present, the instructions are useless. Anyone else having this experience? Thanks..........

I recently reset my laptop, when I logged into my mozilla account on my firefox, it is hasn't synced my passwords, hisotry, bookmarks and extensions. The sync is on, I've eevn tried to manually initiate sync. Did not work.

For some reason when I logged into my mozilla account after switching from windows to pop-os none of the passwords I had synced show up. One of the sites I had saved requires the username and email to reset the password, but I have no idea what the username was.. any thoughts?

I've been using Firefox for 15 years and since syncing has been available, all my tabs and favorites have been saved. Yesterday I saved new windows 10 and when I log in to mozzila, there's nothing?

so I did a factory data reset of my s22 Plus last week and I just tried to send it a tab from my Mac to my phone which doesn't work but it works the other way. The device was still signed into my account I signed it out sign it back in from the phone and every time I try to scan the QR code to connect another device from the QR code scanner in the search bar of the Firefox browser it keeps saying that I need to use like another app because it thinks it thinks I'm using the phones camera I'm not quite sure where to go from here

I installed a new Windows 10, then I installed the latest version of Mozilla Firefox v133 and there's no sync option in this version 🤔 What is the problem?

I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords

Any solution?

As you can see in the picture

hello

I had a smartphone, it died I bought a new one

I moved the SD card from the old to the new one, dear stupid Android 13 then 14 say: oh I'm sorry you have to format your SD card, lol

during the configuration of the new smartphone, I asked to restore data from the backup of the old smartphone: - some parameters has been restored - applications were reinstalled - for example osmand restart with all configurations made on my previous smartphone

but, when I run Firefox, even after login on firefox sync, I have ......... nothing: - no passwords - no bookmarks - no preferences

why?

I reinstalled the Firefox app on my android phone and I am not able to sync the phone now with my account info and bookmarks. Scanning the barcode to sync from my phone does not work. It does not respond at all. Manually entering my email and password does not work either as it says I have the incorrect password when inputting the code sent by email.

so i signed into my firefox account on a new computer and every time i hit the sync now button it brings a pop up for half a second then it disappears and no changes happen to my bookmarks or any of my other synced data.looked through the forums could not find anything that was even similar to my problem

Hello, I reinstalled win 10 on my pc and Wien i logged back into my account sync is working but no passwords, adds, bookmarks are loaded, so I have the most important question, what am I supposed to do? Thanks

I just created an account to sync my passwords and bookmarks from an old Macbook to a new one. I can see both devices on the Mozilla account but the Sync does not work. Nothing appears in my bookmarks.

thank you for your help.

iOS 15.8.3, FF Version 133.2.

A couple of months ago I started having a bunch of issues with the iOS app simultaneously. First I couldn't get my tabs to sync. Then I signed out and had a hard time signing back in-- it just wouldn't work. Now I am finally signed in, but the app isn't working like it used to. I haven't been able to sync tabs since then now matter how many times I try. It still shows tabs for stuff I read months ago. I can't send tabs from desktop to my phone (but I can send from my phone to desktop with no issues). Finally, the tabs are all weird now-- they are huge (see pic).

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 20 or 30 times. I'm considering going back to Safari because the main reason I use Firefox is for phone/desktop connectivity and it just isn't working anymore. Any ideas?

As title.

Around mid-December, various issues occurred with Firefox. Around December 18th, after reinstalling Firefox, I found that I could no longer recover synchronized data from the server, including bookmarks, extensions, and all other synchronized items.

What could be the cause, and how can this be resolved? Could Mozilla have changed any policies that restrict the synchronization function?
