Firefox Support Forum

I know the answer to this is probably going to be along the lines of this is not possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway since none of the information is entirely clear. Or answers my exact question.

I have one desktop install of firefox and I have two android ones. I have all three synced to one firefox account, so it's easy to grab links I saved while wiki diving on something. While this works perfectly for the desktop side of things, the mobile side is where the issue arises.

Currently all my bookmarks from both mobile firefox accounts are merged into one long set, regardless of device. While the desktop ones have their own folder. Is there a way to keep the bookmarks from each device in their own separate folder? Like say instead of having one big mobile bookmarks folder, having one named DeviceX, and the other DeviceY?

It's still semi functional on desktop where I have more screen real estate and have to deliberately go to the mobile bookmarks folder, but on the phones it can be confusing when a set of bookmarks from device 1 mixes randomly into those of device 2. As it can become a lot harder to keep track of things.

Now I know one can turn off syncing of bookmarks. This is not what I'm looking for as I do still want to be able to share them between all three devices. Just have them more organised.

I also know one can make different accounts for say work or personal, but again I want them all to sync, just not mix them into one list.

So in short is there a way to be able to have two android devices into a threeway sync and keep the bookmarks separate? Or is my only option the round abound way of making subfolders and hope I remember to save in those?

Thanks either way.

I reset the password for firefox account when logging in on a new computer and than i realized i could use my android firefox to see the password. Now the android version of firefox has all the passwords but what will happen if log in on the android device providing new password? Will that sync from the server and delete all passwords?

thanks!

I have used firefox for many years and have it on two computers.However due to problems dealing with the bing search bar accidentally somehow lost my login identity on one of my computers and now cannot upgrade firefox even though I can use the existing version and still have the valuable memorised passwords. (I may never have had a firefox password as Mozilla was always the go to source for help.) I use the same e mail address for both machines and wonder would like to know whether I can find my account login on this machine to restore my connection with the other machine. I don't know how to find my password thanks terence christopher

Hello,

today i started Firefox as usual and realized that there was an issue with my Firefox account. I couldn't log into an account with the saved Password feature, my account couldn't sync for some reason and was logged out of my account. I think i saved the Password for my Firefox account in the Firefox Browser or I've forgotten it, in any case i reset my password of my Firefox account. After i logged in again i saw the all my saved Passwords, that should have been saved in Firefox, disappeared.

Now my question, how can i restore them? I saved many important Passwords, so its quite significant that i get them back...

Are you mad because I switched to Opera GX? if you can help me restore them I come back to team Firefox, i swear.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I was recently asked to import my saved passwords from Chrome, however the entire data including bookmarks, autofill data, history etc was imported over to Firefox. How can I remove this synced data from Chrome and revert it? Uninstalling Firefox and disabling sync did not work.

I just got a new Macbook signed in and forgot my firefox password so then I reset the password, unknowingly lost my bookmarks...Can you help me recover that profile?

It was for account name: [Email address]

Hi Team,

I am not able to see from profile with old device and that data and that is very critical for me.. is there any way I can get from Firefox if I provide details...

Thanks Team..

After resetting my Firefox account password, all my saved passwords disappeared. Firefox for iOS has all the passwords but it doesn't sync with the desktop version. firefox [edited] @gmail.com account. How can I roll back to 15.08?

To make sure the kids are doing their schoolwork I need to see which computer (device) opened a website in the history. When I manage history I don't see any option for this information.

I reinstalled my Windows and then wanted to log in to my Firefox account but I forgot my password, when i recovered it all of my data we're gone, I didn't know that it would erase my data. Can I somehow get it back?
