Greetings. I am seeking assistance with transferring my existing data to my new Firefox account on my Samsung Android phone. I currently have data stored on my laptop as well as on my Samsung Android device. It includes bookmarks, saved passwords, and potentially browsing history. However, I am unclear on how to achieve this transfer properly. I would appreciate any detailed instructions or guidance you could provide, ensuring that I can successfully access all my important data on my new Firefox account. Thank you for your assistance! Best regards, Don

FORGET button set 2 hours, but deleted EVERYTHING

Hello- seriously doubt there is any help for this, but I can't be the only one this has happened to:

I wanted to delete the last 2 hours of a firefox session only- the session has been ongoing for a month, with 100 of what were - to me- important tabs open. Session Restore on FireFox was turned on and it always works.

But tonight, I wanted to delete only about last 2 hours of history. So I thought to use the FORGET button. I set the app to 'forget' the last 2 hours of browsing history. And hit the button. and: ALL tabs- All tabs- every one for last month- Gone in a blink. Gone.

Perhaps the onus is, at least inn part, on me: This exact issue happened to me before- but I guess i had cast that soul-killing memory out of my mind; at least, till a few years later, tonight, when it just happend again.

But- It's been years !! And the forget button is still a catastophic trap, still luring fools like me, hiding in plain sight as a button on FF toolbar. That's true- right on the toolbar is a helpful, harmless-looking button that can ruin your life.

A catastrophy that has been built into FireFox for years- and still not fixed.

I did think that if the button had a problem years ago - and in a different version of Windows [last time it happened I was using XP], must be fixed by now- Honestly- I did think that.

-Has anyone else experienced this utterly demoralizing experience with FireFox "forget"?

-Is there any hope to recover the last session? [There are NO Profiles at all now, saved in the "Profiles" folder]

Again- any hope? Anyone else have this problem?

It's been years! Why is this MAJOR minefield even still prosperng in Firefox?

This is not the first time that Firefox has refused to synch my tabs or has had terrible delay in synching my tabs on different devices and I am at my wit's end. I have no idea what the issue is. Can sombody explain to me what is going wrong?

We deploy Firefox via a software called Pulseway and last night it reinstalled Firefox over the current installation for one of our users. When he logged in this morning, all his data was missing from the browser as it appears to be a fresh installation. I'm unable to find his previous profile in the AppData folders (checked by going to about:profiles and opened each profile). There is no backup for this info, and he did not have a Sync account set up. Is there anywhere else I could possible recover this data for the user? Thanks in advance.

Can I log out of Mozilla, delete sync data on the device, and then later restore it by logging back in?

I'm considering taking in my computer to be checked up and have the fan cleaned, but I don't want to just leave my firefox as it is with accounts logged in and autofill information available, should they be able to get into the computer software (I have it set to require a pin/fingerprint to log in but feel like that could be circumvented). I also don't want to risk losing all my passwords/bookmarks/etc. so I'm unsure how to approach it.

If I log out and delete sync data, will logging back in restore my bookmarks and passwords or do I need to back them up some other way? Will just logging out of my Mozilla account be enough to prevent access? Would it require clearing something to log out of everything and then log out of Mozilla?

Any help would be very appreciated!
