Well on May 14th it said in synced all my data on fire fox. I guess because I downloaded what's app and put my telephone number in my computer. Plus this is a school computer. Will that hurt anything.

I have two profiles, one for work and one for my personal in the same account. I need to sync both of my profiles but do not want the information in the two profiles mixed together. I need to sync the information as I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for work, and mobile devices and another laptop for personal matters. If I am on work travel and need to access my personal profile on my laptop (because schlepping two machines is silly!), I want to switch my profile to the personal one. then when I am done I want to switch back to the work profile. How can I do this and is firefox set up to do this?

Firefox account keeps search history even though only bookmark sync is turned on. I logged out from firefox mobile, deleted firefox mobile, reinstalled firefox mobile, relogged in to firefox mobile and I see again the search history. How can I remove permanently the search history and how can I disable permanently search history saving even though only bookmark sync is turned on?

I cannot find the menu item on my mobile device to sync my Firefox account. When I select "menu" it doesn't have that as an option; it only shows me other topics I have used Firefox to search.

Until a few days ago, when I shared tabs from my mobile device to my desktop, it opened in a new tab or tabs in the active window on my desktop. Now all of the shared tabs are opening in their own window. Is there a way to adjust this in Settings?

I have used Firefox as primary browser on my Mac for many years — never Safari.

Until yesterday, I used Safari as the only browser on my iPhone.

I now see all my Safari bookmarks in the iPhone’s new Firefox browser, but not the important open Safari tabs.

How can I sync my iPhone Safari web page tabs to Firefox on both devices, and sync the Mac’s open Firefox web page tabs to iPhone Firefox?

Like many I was confused about the recent message regarding the free VPN which is being rolled out. I have no ICON in Firefox, and whilst I now understand that this is because it is being rolled out gradually, I did initially try a couple of things to try to find it. One of these was to sign in to my account, however, when I did this my browser went crazy. Loads of bookmarks disappeared, as did all the folders that I had these filed in, and loads of very old redundant bookmarks that I had long ago deleted were back. It seems that Firefox synced with 'something', but as I only ever use Firefox on this PC, I don't know what. Also, the browser no longer worked - I could search for anything and I got results, but I got a crash message if I clicked on any of them. Using Edge to search instead, I discovered how to roll back a sync, so I did that and now Firefox is back to normal with all my current bookmarks, history etc.. Obviously I am not inclined to sign in to my account again for fear of this happening again. I assume that when the free VPN finally becomes available to me I will need to sign in. My question then is: is there a way of signing in to my account without initiating a sync of any kind so that my browser stays as it is? (I am actually using Edge to ask this question as I couldn't pose it without signing in and didn't want to risk doing that in Firefox!)
