I have Firefox 68 for Android, and sync doesn't work any more. I reset everything, and now last sync is always 'never'. This happened a few years ago, but why now? I don't think I missed anything. Sync works between my PCs.

For multiple days I couldn't sync my account on multiple devices. Samsung Galaxy S7 on Android 9; Galaxy J5 2019 on Android 7.1 and my Motorola One Action with Android 10. I have tried Firefox stable (Version 68.9.0) on all of them and forcing a sync hasn't worked either. On my One Action I even tried Firefox Beta (77.0.0-Beta.2) Since Firefox on Desktop doesn't show a date of last Sync (as far as I know). I don't know if my account has been shadow banned or Sync servers are broken or theres something up with my devices so help would really be appreciated.

I am unable to get Firefox sync working on my new work computer. Sync generally works very well for me, however after logging on to my new computer none of my bookmarks or settings sync. I do see that the device is connected to my account, and I get a notification on my personal laptop that the new laptop is connected to the account. I went through the troubleshooting steps and I unlinked all for my devices, updated the browser on all devices, and logged back in. Still no luck, the browser is just not syncing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thunderbird has stopped getting messages from my Gmail account on startup and later automatically. I can still get them manually by clicking on Get Messages. All my Server Settings in Thunderbird are set to get messages on startup and automatically. My Gmail settings are also enabled for all POP mail and have not changed. This is a recent issue. Is this a bug in the recent update?

Kilka dni temu przestała działać synchronizacja w Firefox. Przelogowanie i przeinstalowanie przeglądarki nie pomaga. Jaka może być przyczyna? Wszystkie synchronizowane urządzenia są widoczne.

A few days ago synchronization in Firefox stopped working. Relogging and reinstalling the browser does not help. What could be the reason? All synced devices are visible.

I installed the extension to take a swing at using FPN, but when it asks me to sign in with my Firefox account to allow me to enable the extension, I get an endless loop where a window pops up for me to sign in and then when I do I get "Firefox Private Network needs your attention." I have standard tracker settings and no other extensions installed. Please help!

Hi, Sync well, won't!

I've logged in fine, but on three devices (2 x windows 10, 1 x Android 10), it wont sync - although it will send tabs amongst the devices.

I've tried one of the Win10 on two networks.

I click Sync, and I get no error messages, but nothing happens. If I check the about:sync-log, I see the following:

Error log is as follows:

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks,

My laptop crashed. I am setting up Firefox on a new one. I had enabled Sync on the previous one. On the new machine, I logged in and enabled sync, but the sync is not bringing in any data. I had been using the sync for quite a long time and had not met with such issue. I can see on the devices page both the old and new machines. What can be causing this issue?

Starting this week, Firefox syncing doesn't seem to work anymore at a particular place I visit every weekday. I mean, I can still log into my Firefox account, but nothing syncs: not extensions nor passwords nor bookmarks, even if they all have check marks next to them in about:preferences?entrypoint=fxa_app_menu#sync.

Is there a test I can run to see what's going on behind the scenes? Thanks.

Hello I need help,

I've been using SYNC for many years and it's always worked fine, but at the moment I can't sync my account on new devices.

do not know what's going on, I've done disconnect on all devices, I re-logged in but does not sync my passwords and sites

I've been a volunteer tester of FPN for months. This AM I got a pop-up that FPN needs attention and to log into account. I could not log into the account through the link provided by FPN even after four attempts/confirming usr/pwd. I did get in via the moz://a site and here I am. Is there an issue with the FPN vpn? What can I do to resolve? Thx

Hello,

Since 3-4 days, Sync no longer synchronizes any elements, from one device to another i no longer have access to my passwords saved in Lockwise or my shared tabs. I tried to disconnect all my devices then reconnect, i "forced" synchro, i installed the Lockwise Android app on my phone but but the sync runs in a vacuum so the app doesnt seem to download my data & credentials...

What can i do more to recover my data or restore sync ?

Has anyone else encountered the problem of Firefox for Mac disappearing from my after restarting my computer only to pop up after a few minutes and set up like a new browser? I was using Firefox on my MacBook Pro with sync on, but after restarting my laptop, Firefox shows up as a new device syncing my account and I can see my previous browser's synced tabs as if that was a separate device. Sorry for rambling, anyone have a solution?

I have signed in on Android but Bookmarks and History will not sync at all, when I try to send a tab from the desktop it says "No Devices Connected", despite both devices showing up when I go to manage devices.

Hello. I like to end my text conversations with this cute little fish: <{~~< But it's quite difficult to type on a desktop, so I made a shortcut to it in my mac OS, by typing pf. It works everywhere on my machine but on firefox, which is my preferred browser for chatting, so it's the only time I really need to use it. It's a serious buzzkil, especially since it SHOULD WORK, but doesn't. Can anyone help? I'm on a brand new machine, with a brand new (June 29 2020) download of Firefox with the french canadian language pack installed (it didn't work before I put the language pack on either).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, firefox will not sync. it's been weird for a while. I generally have to send tabs to my desktop computer 2 or 3 times before it'll take. now i have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and it just won't sync now. I've done it multiple times. i've turned my phone off and on in between uninstalls and installs. I've made sure my samsung core apps are updated. I'm doing everything correctly and firefox just will not sync. I sign in and press sync now, it does that 'working' thing for a moment and then goes back to saying it's never synced.

Since one of the recent FireFox updates, the default action in the URL bar for "unknown" domains is always a search. As a web developer, this is extremely aggravating, since I can no longer type "foo.local" into the URL bar and confirm, in order to access http://foo.local/ (see also attached image). It will instead execute a search for "foo.local".

I have looked through the options of browser.urlbar in about:config, but so far I couldn't identify if any of these options would influence this new behaviour.

I am signed in on both my iPhone (26.0) and Mac (77.0.1 (64-bit)) but when clicking on my device in Send Tab to Device nothing happens.

Also my bookmarks and history are not syncing up even after clicking sync on both devices.

Any ideas what is going on?
