Firefox Support Forum

I am unable to get Firefox sync working on my new work computer. Sync generally works very well for me, however after logging on to my new computer none of my bookmarks or settings sync. I do see that the device is connected to my account, and I get a notification on my personal laptop that the new laptop is connected to the account. I went through the troubleshooting steps and I unlinked all for my devices, updated the browser on all devices, and logged back in. Still no luck, the browser is just not syncing. Any advice would be appreciated.

After I reinstall all my operation system I forgot password to my account I reset it and now I dont have any my date. I read about this and they are delete from server is there any way to restor them? I had some important data in this account.

Hello!

I have bought a new computer recently and for the life of me cannot seem to get the history/passwords/bookmarks to sync to it despite using Firefox Sync. I have enabled these items to be synced, checked that cookies are on, closed and restarted both my computer(s) and firefox multiple times as well as everything else laid out in forums here.

Can anyone help me port my bookmarks over to my new computer?

Thanks.

I just starting using Firefox, and I've installed it on a Mac Laptop, a Windows Desktop, an iPhone, and an iPad.

Each install is logged into the same Firefox account, and each install began with the same set of bookmarks.

Now, when I add or remove a bookmark on one device, it's not syncing to any other device. I've tried this on several devices. I've tried manually clicking the "sync" icon on each device to try to kick it into working.

How can I fix this?

Just last night I updated Firefox to version 78.0.1 on Fedora. I cleared all my history. I had to sign in to Firefox account again for some reason.

And this afternoon I discovered that my Logins and Passwords has gone empty. I use master a password and that is still in effect, and my sync settings includes logins and passwords. I've done this many times--signed in to my Firefox account, set up a master password and I'd see all my saved passwords there after doing a fresh install of my operating system. I don't know what happened now.

I have tried to register TWO secondary emails, only to find that they are both in use. The trouble is THEY ARE BOTH MINE??? They are 1) - [email]@sky.com, and 2)- [emaill]@outlook.com. I have succumbed to using a "primary email address", but I still CANNOT get what I want. IT IS JUST NOT ON. E.G. "A secondary email is an additional address for receiving security notices and confirming new devices. Account already exists". MY ONLY REPLY IS "they would do because they are already mine". so, PLEASE GET IT SORTED OUT. Thankyou. I am getting really fedup with mozilla. It is a good browser, it's just the people that make the rules that do my head in.

Parrot OS 4.10, Firefox 77.0

Can't log into Firefox Sync all of a sudden on this computer only. Keep getting error saying that I have to enable cookies and local storage which I cannot figure out how to do. Cookies are not blocked and there is no setting in preferences for local storage.... Remember History is enabled.

Re-install of Firefox did not help. Anyone run into this before?

I am unable to login to firefox accounts .

I have the correct Email and Password, but it keeps asking me for the conformation code sent to the email for login, but i dont have access to the Email as the password is saved in sync server.

I mean the Lockwise Sync server. No i don't have any device currently logged in to Sync. I recently Formatted my PC, So all files for password manager were lost(I synced the logins to the server before formatting my pc hoping that the Login id and Password for the Accounts would be enough to retrieve them ) and am trying to retrieve the logins.

No luck with the login links i can login but cannot change anything in the settings, it says :

" NOTE: Before you can view or make changes to this section, you will need to verify your email address. "

So any way i try it is asking for the conformation code sent to my Email address Whose password is stuck in my sync server.

So its like

Need Help ASAP Please.

I just received my new MacBook Air and am trying to use the synch to synch the above-referenced items from my old MacBook Pro. I am NOT synching to a phone. Each time I choose to not continue w/a QR code or SMS message, I'm taken to a screen about FF Monitor and am never able to enter "another device", which is where I began, "Connect another device" - any assistance or work around will be gladly appreciated. Thank you in advance, DD

Hi firefox community,

I've been using firefox forever and so all my logins and passwords have been saved in the browser. For the past two days I noticed that firefox couldn't 'connect to my account', which has never happened before - I was logged in ever since my firefox account was created. My current logins have been active, but when I tried to log into a website with a previously saved login and password - there was nothing. I then logged back into my firefox account, but all my logins and passwords are still gone. I tried manual sync, still nothing.

I am not sure if it happened after a specific update - I didn't notice when exactly I was 'logged out'.

Over the past couple of days I have been using my moms pc while I have been at her house. So I logged into her firefox with my account. Now my logins passwords and bookmarks have replaced hers when she logs into her account on any device even 1 that has never had an account on it at all let alone my account. I have rebooted the device tried logging out of all devices and then back in with no luck. I have also gone to about:profile on both her pc and her laptop and I was still not able to find her information. However she can login but for what ever reason has all of my information.

My setup:

• Desktop Firefox - Main sync.
• Laptop Firefox - Secondary.
• Android Phone - Additional Sync.

Firefox on my Desktop recently updated to the latest version.

In doing so,

• it reset/removed all my personal settings for my addons. (it even re-asked me for all the permissions)
• Signed me off of Firefox sync.

So I figured, that's what Firefox sync is for right? sign-on, resync my stuff back to the latest sync.

After syncing

• Addons personal settings remained reset/removed.
• All personal Firefox settings around privacy settings and tweaks were reset to default.
• A lot of old long bookmarks suddenly reappeared. (not a big deal)
• Password issues * read below

* Password issues. After adding some new passwords while using my main sync Desktop, I noticed It had about 200 less passwords than my Android/Laptop sync.

Is there a way to merge both the password files from my Desktop/Laptop profiles (or even androids)? Sync doesn't seem to be doing it?

I am having issues with Firefox NOT syncing across all devices and desktops consistently.

I have gone through all devices and desktops and made sure the settings are setup to allow for syncing of open tabs, but the syncing is not consistent across all devices and some devices aren't even showing up in the synced tabs window. Any help would be great.

I am having syncing my two different computers with Firefox Sync. My bookmarks are not syncing, nor are any of my login information.

it used to work before, but for some reason, recently it just stopped syncing.

I logged out from firefox account on both computers and then logged back in and synced, but its still not working.

Please help.

Hey i have all my bookmarks saved in my firefox sync account and it worked before to sync it after reinstalling and login to my account it shows up all my bookmarks. now i have reinstalled windows and now the account doesnt load my bookmarks, there is nothin all my data is gone, i got over 1000 bookmarks ......

I am having a PC with windows 10 with Firefox installed and have the same in my android too, i do surfing in the PC but would love to share clipboard across my device without using any third party apps (just within Firefox) like how we have an option to send the tabs across devices (image attached) this is similar to that but can send copied text to device where we can click on the notification to copy the item

if there is any feature like that available in Firefox please let me know
