Hi all.

My sync is only sometimes working. I notice that when saving a bookmark and trying to find it on another device. I sometimes have to manually resync it or wait for a few days to get it shown on my other devices. Same with the tab sharing across devices.. In most cases it doesn't work at all..

Here is a current sync-log: https://pastebin.com/TWugtAbm

Thanks Mozilla for great browser. I ONLY use Firefox nothing else.

The question in the subject field was posted 7 years ago. I am still having this problem in version 104.0.1 (2022) on Mac. First I updated youtube tab with cmd+shift+R still same problem. Then I deleted cache with cmd+shift+backspace still same problem. I had to delete all my history in FIrefox before video was playing. Am I doing something wrong or need something being fixed :-)

Loving kindly greetings

Firefox Sync: Why aren't Shortcuts able to sync?

Hello all,

There are a number of threads on this topic asking how to sync Shortcuts from one device to another. It appears that across the board the answer is that you cannot do this (see: this, this, this, this, or this to identify just a few).

It does appear to be the case that you can copy `browser.newtabpage.pinned` from `about:config` but this cannot be transferred to iPadOS, iOS, or easily shared between Android and macOS. It also does not update long term.

There have also been requests for this feature to be added (see this) though a lot of content around this topic appears to be confused as to what to call it and is notated within other recommendations.

I am wondering if anyone from the Mozilla/Firefox team can speak as to why this setting is not available, and what would be needed to see it become possible to sync shortcuts (and ```especially``` pinned shortcuts) within Firefox Sync.

Thank you!

I have been running firefox on my macbook air for years. I just recently upgraded my O.S. to Catalina. I did this primarily because my old firefox would no longer update. I did the upgrade to Catalina then downloaded "new" firefox. I have both "versions" of firefox available. the old one with all my bookmarks etc. and the new one with nothing. I hit move bookmarks on the new version but the only options were from chrome or safari. How can I move over the bookmarks to the new one. Thanks

I can no longer log-in to sites that require Usersname and Password on my Mac. But I have no trouble using my iPhone to log-in using the ios Firefox and Firefox Focus. I tried clearing the history on my Mac and still no success. The error message I keep getting is "Could not process login". I know my username and password by heart and have had problem logging in before. Just recently in January 2023. I kept trying until I got locked-out. Please advise.

This has happened to me several times and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but then it happens again weeks, months later. It says to contact Mozilla for a correct certificate but how do I do that. There's no instructions on how to do this. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I got an error message when playing a movie that said clear cookies & cache so I did that. The movie played after I did that. Now today I opened a weather link and when I clicked on precipitation it didn't work. I clicked on a One Tab link to youtube and it opened youtube home page, not the specific link with all my history and feed lost. And some youtube videos would not play. I tried to open my Outlook email from one tab, but I just got outlook and had to re-sign in. And then I could not open an email. I had to switch to chrome to open the email. I tried to use trouble shoot safe mode. I was able to play a youtube video, but my extensions were then unavailable in safe mode, so no one tab. I am 75 and not very computer proficient, and I am afraid I will make things worse because I cannot predict the outcome of the steps offered. Mozilla/Firefox updates automatically, so I have the latest version of that and I have macOS Catilina version 10.15.5 Is there anyway to undo this mess? I need help at the most basic possible level. Can the clear cookies & cache be undone? Is my youtube history & feed able to be restored some how? Help please!!!
