Firefox Sync: Unidirectional sync possible (git push/fetch paradigm)?

Hi all,

Fully aware of [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1204859], I wonder if there is any way to force a synchronization from one specific browser to others? My scenario is as follows: I use a desktop computer for daily work. This computer is bascially the source of truth. I use literally thousands of tabs, organized w/ Sideberry and multi-accounts containers (~100) (2 profiles in parallel).

From time to time, I use a laptop when commuting or working elsewhere. I'd love to instruct the laptop to receive the latest update (like a git fetch), probably after telling the main computer to "upload" (git push) the latest information and would like to make sure the laptop never can overwrite the desktop information.

Is there any way to implement such a scenario?

Thanks!

Hi,

I had to update my PC due to some issue, and I forgot mozilla account password so I had to do forgot password. But after that all my saved data in the same mozilla account has been removed and now I am in big trouble.

Can you please help me on this and give me my old data back. If you have any kind of security questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

But give me my data back.

Thank you.

During a thunderstorm and subsequent power cut my desktop (W10) would not reboot. Nothing just a black screen. My builder looked at it for two days and determined that it was the processor that had failed. I purchased a high spec refurbished desktop (W11) which I am finding a shock at 74, nearly 75. I have the SSD from the old computer in a USB connected caddy. FF is installed on both computers. How can I get the Bookmarks from old to new ?

Hiya all,

My newly refurbed laptop died A Death a little while ago, and I'm prepping to send it back to the seller. I had the browser on the laptop synced with my Firefox account (autofill my passwords for things etc) and have since unlinked it, but I just need to know that the browser won't be autofilling things if the seller repairs the hardware and fiddles around!

The laptop as it stands is entirely unbootable, and while I know I can remove the HDD and delete my files, it's the browser stuff I'm most concerned about.

Thank you!

Yesterday, something went wrong in my Windows 11 desktop (I have a virus program installed). One of the casualties involved corrupting Firefox (it would not open). I reinstalled Firefox without removing the old version. Now I have a new installation but all my bookmarks and other data are missing. There is a folder on my desktop labelled as "Old Firefox data". It is possible to restore Firefox to a previous time (a day ago)? Thank you.

I recently switched from Linux to Windows and installed Firefox on my new system. I signed in with the same Firefox Account that I had used on Linux, but none of my bookmarks, shortcuts, or other data have synced. It feels like a fresh Firefox setup. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: 1. Confirmed that I signed in with the same Firefox Account. 2. Verified that Sync is enabled for bookmarks, history, and other items on Windows. 3. Triggered manual sync multiple times, but nothing has appeared. Is there any way to check if my bookmarks were stored on the Firefox servers, and if so, how can I retrieve them?
