Strange glitch has been occurring with my phone and laptop. I pull up synced tabs on my phone to see what's open on my laptop, it appears normally. However, when I open synced tabs on my laptop to see what open on my phone, I get tabs that haven't been open and were closed days to a week ago. And now, it displays two different sets of synced tabs (as seen below). It's a strange quirk I'm not confident how to fix. Any ideas?

Using tab groups, how to sync those groups across device, like bookmarks are synced ? Currently, I have several groups defined in my account, but they are not synced on my professional PC.

Recently, i had to use a public pc in my workplace for a while. i used Firefox to access the internet, and for practical reason, i signed in my Firefox account. After i was done, i made sure i have signed out my Firefox account before leaving. The next day, when i used Firefox again on that pc, i noticed that all my saved passwords (from syncing my Firefox account) were still in that Firefox browser, even though i haven't signed in my Firefox account. Now i feel like i am at the mercy of fate because anybody who used that pc after me yesterday could have gained access to all my passwords. So far, nothing bad happens and i hope it stays that way.

I don't know if anyone has brought this up. Since Firefox does not erase any saved password after a user signs out, I think Firefox should, or rather, MUST give a warning message after a user signs out of Firefox to manually erase any saved password on Firefox, so that any stupid user like me will not make that stupid mistake so easily.

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?

Trying to get same layout on new computer through syncing. I seem to be able to find my old bookmarks, but not with a simple click as before. Cant even find how to set homwpage on new computer

I got a Galaxy s25u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from my s24u.Firefox and all it's bookmarks history and passwords have synched but my open and inactive tabs have not transfered. 2 years ago I used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from a xiaomi mi10 pro to a Galaxy s23u and firefox open and inactive tabs were transfered. Last year I got a Galaxy s24u and used samsung smartswitch to transfer data from the s23u to the s24u. Again all my inactive and open tabs I'm firefox were transferred. I can still see inactive tabs from 2 years ago that I opened on my s23u on my s24u but I cannot see those same tabs on my s25u. Also if I sync I can see the tabs in synced tabs but after an hour synched tabs is empty. I've had my Galaxy s25u for 6 weeks and I need to sell my s24u but I cannot because I do not want to loose all my tabs. This is costing me a lot of time and money. I also recently closed firefox on my pc (using a different firefox account to my android device) behind the main window was another open window which I then closed. This means that the entire 200 tab session is lost as firefox only has one restore point that overwrites immediately, "restore previous session" no longer exists and tab the tab session manager add on has not worked for 4 years. Mozilla is not my favourite company at the moment.

Dear Support,

I have two laptops - both identical accounts signed in and would like to sync them so that when I open Firefox on laptop 2 it will show me Firefox on laptop 1. and if laptop 2 was last used, then when open laptop 1, it shows me Firefox on laptop 2.

currently it is separate and unique instances.

how do i automate the sync?

thanks, Nicholas

Im trying to syc my dsta with anew desktop computor. It tellsme on my mobile device in Firefox go to menu and shows the 3 bars. I dont see that in Firefox mobile. I see three dots but there is no place in there that says syc and save data

I want move tabs and bookmarks from an older Mac to and newer Mac. Sync seems to only allow an iOS destination. Is there a way to use it between Firefox on two laptops?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Hi all, There is a bug regarding the "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox (Android - version 133.0.3).

Despite being sorted accordingly on PC and synchronized, the mobile version of Firefox for bookmarks are scrambled (see attached image).

On mobile Firefox, it looked like it was sorted according to the "recently added" bookmarks.

To add on for more details, expected results according to the PC version of "Bookmarks Manager", it should have been displayed this way on Android Firefox:

• Desktop Bookmarks
• Folder
• Link 1
• Link 2
• Link 3
• Link 4
• Link 5
• Webtoon
• Twitter

And so on.

I have 'synced' my old phone. Now I have new phone with a Firefox that I used for setup, which has a few open tabs and maybe a couple b9kmarks. I want to 'restore' everything fromthe old Firefox to the new. What happens if I 'sync'?

My guess is 'sync'ing the new firefox merely backs up its current state...

Why is it so difficult to navigate to ask a question? I'm trying to sync Firefox on my iPhone and my laptop.

From the firefox menu on my iphone: I'm trying to enter my Mozilla password to connect the sync, but nothing is happening. I enter my Mozilla password. I hit the sign in box. It turns a lighter shade of blue and nothing happens from that point on. What am I doing wrong?

phone: iOS 18.3.1 Firefox browser on laptop: 136.0 I'm assuming that firefox on iphone is updated?
