I've been using Firefox Nightly for Android and Firefox for Android for years without issue. I've left Nightly at build 68.5a1 as it has several features that later bulds removed. I sync across all my mobile devices but NOT with my desktop. When a website requires a newer browser version to run, then I switch to plain Firefox.
Today Nightly would NOT open. It opened and pointed to an offline file. I noticed it was marked by "///". I'm sorry I didn't take a screenshot or note the file.
Reading several posts, I removed Nightly, purged the cash and purged the data. Then I reinstalled Nightly from the apk file I saved. While the install went without a hitch, it will NOT permit me to sign in to synch the data saved in all my other devices. It just spins as this image shows.
I read a post indicating a direct url for sign in and tried it. But it only worked for Firefox and NOT Nightly.
How do I resolve this?

I will no longer use firefox on my iPAD if I can't sync my bookmarks from my Android/Windows bookmarks.
I just updated to Firefox 115 for iOS and seem to have lost all the tabs I had open! How can I get them back??
Firefox version 119 has no sync and save option in the drop down list. Cannot scan QR code without it. I am using windows 11
Thank you
I want my phone bookmarks to reflect what I have on my desktop.
How do I remove all the bookmarks on my phone to make that happen via sync?
When I go to Manage Bookmarks to back up, it says "No Items", but all my bookmarks are there on the LH window.

I cannot get Firefox to sync my bookmarks to to my new android. Other things are syncing so I know sync is working it just will not sync the bookmarks. I have tried everything. I have checked my sync settings a dozen times. I've signed out and signed back in on both devices. I have even uninstalled on both devices while signed out and reinstalled and still I cannot get the bookmarks on my phone. Please help! It's a Galaxy s21 and I am on windows 10

I tried going to the Data folder, but there is only 1 folder there, "export messages", for an app that lets me print out or save existing text messages .
Help!!

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.
I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..
Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.
And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.
Can you please restore the computer I deleted so I can get the bookmarks and synched data from it?
I accidentally did that today.

Hi there, I recently downgraded Firefox on my Android (5.1.1), as the new versions of the app became to get heavy.
I have logged in with my Account and am now trying to get the bookmarks synced. I have no Desktop right now to pair. The bookmarks and the Account are only available on my iPad, where FF is logged in and has the bookmarks synced.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for any help and regards, Dan

The option to "sync and save your data" no longer appears in the main menu, nor under settings. Oddly, I can still send tabs from my laptop to my phone, just not the other way around. The option to "connect another device" in the share menu uselessly tells me "to send a tab, sign in to Firefox on at least one other device," when I've already done so.
In short, this doesn't appear to work anymore: [to set up Firefox Sync in Firefox for Android]

I have an old Lenovo tablet running Firefox 68.11 in Android Kitkat (4.4)
This device has never synced before, and as you know Mozilla, for reasons known only to themselves, never made a simple bookmark export in the Android app.
My attempts to set up a sync has also failed, access to https://accounts.firefox.com is apparently inaccessible, the page never loads, except for the logo you can see below.
Am I just out of luck?

Hey,
I had to replace my Android phone and send the old one in. I had the google cloud backup activated + used the transfer data and apps function when migrating (Android to Android). However, it seems like my bookmarks are gone, I guess there is no way to get them back. Is this correct behavior?
I understand that there is Firefox sync and save feature (which I use on my personal device). However my understanding was that migrating phones with the "copy apps & data" function should migrate things seamless without having to worry about custom logins in each app. Did I do something wrong? Or is this understanding wrong? If so, would this be different in ios (this was a very painful experience that I don't want to repeat)?
Thanks for your help & sorry if this is only partially Firefox specific and partially about my general understanding.

hey community,
i am pretty desperate at this point, so i thought, i'd just ask you:
a while ago i had a breach of some of my old passwords. i was able to redo all my passwords into new and strong passwords before someone did shenanigans with my accounts, but the password sync of my firefox app on android still has the old passwords.
i tried disconnecting and reconnecting the sync, i tried deleting the cache and app data, still everytime i get the same result. i can't even log into ky university's default account anymore.
i desperately need your help. what am i doing wrong, what am i missing?
greetings!
