Every time I go to install an OS or reinstall (especially on my laptop), I am happy to see everything sync as intended when I sign in... Except for the darn cookie deletion exceptions. I have a rather long list of websites for which cookies ARE saved, while my global setting is to delete all cookies upon exiting the browser. This one thing does not get ported over. The issue has already been created on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1662804. I would assume that the cookie-keeping-preferences are saved in _some_ file (which I assume, at least on Linux is accessible and modifiable). Could you perhaps point me in the direction of said file, so I can manually transfer over these preferences from my "master" Firefox install on my main machine?

Thank you in advance

Bookmarks not syncing between laptops

Hi, all!

I bought a second MacBook. I am clearly logged in to Firefox on both laptops and my iPhone. I can share tabs between all three. I can access history between all three. However, Bookmarks on MacBook #2 are not updating with what I add to MB #1 or my phone. MacBook #2 is my business laptop, and the more important of the two. When I first got it, Bookmarks synced, but somehow stopped.

AND! Mozilla's instructions to pair/sync are inaccurate. There is no "Sync and save data" to tap on in iOS, and no matter where I look in iOS Firefox Settings, I see no way to scan the QR code. None of the Help pages I've seen have different or better info.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. John

How can I find more details for the tracking protection settings. I'm not sure if the setting is on if it means I'm saving the activity data or if I'm actually blocking the websites from saving my activity. I'm trying to actually buy up a back up extension that shows me all devices connected to my accounts and all the history even the encrypted sites, links, and photos. I need help finding out what someone else is really doing with my account including applying for cards, hiding chats, and using my phone to send emails back n forth that look like spam or links from apps but are hidden accounts

I closed down my computer last night and after restart again, the Firefox page with shortcuts are gone. I've looked for information on this but there's no link to shortcuts that I can find to help restore these sites. Never had this happen before and it's been years. Thoughts on where/what to do to restore?? Thanks. N Weaver

Ok, the instructions are simplistic and inaccurate at best. Three dots, don't reveal sync and save. Isn't that what I'm trying to do? Get it to sync? So, it says I have to them scan the QR code from one to the other. I tried that, and it says, "Are for using the scanner from within Firefox?" First time? No. Second time, yes. Did the same thing. And again, same thing. Good Lord tech Dept, get your documentation correct, and keep it updated. So, no clue what to do now. Anyone?
