Firefox Community Forum

My work is trying to fire me because they say Firefox was mirroring my activity at home and vice versa. I.E If I opened a tab at home it when then open a tab and attempt to connect to same website on my work computer in the office.

I’m fairly certain it doesn’t cause that would be wildly unnecessary for what sync tabs is trying to accomplish but I used wireshark to watch for outgoing connections on my home desktop and opened a tab on my phone and my personal laptop and wireshark never detected outgoing connections to the tabs on other devices

I use Mozilla on two things, my laptop and my android cell phone. The syncing on my cell phone appears to work perfectly well. However, when I am on my laptop, I am unable to view my "Tabs from Other Devices" - It will show me tabs from days ago. I've tried manually syncing on both devices but nothing happens.

The only thing that seems to work is if I log out of my Mozilla on my cell phone and log back in but then it will stop syncing again.

If something else isn't syncing, I honestly don't notice because I don't use anything else much.

hi I reinstalled my windows recently. before that , i made sure im singed in with this email address to protect my passwords with firefox sync. (eb.movahhed58@gmail.com)

after installing the new firefox , i figured my passwords are gone and they werent restored from my account.

i received welcome e-mail when i successfully create an mozilla accunt couple of days ago. please assist me !!

I've synced all my data (including add-ons, passwords, bookmarks, etc) to my firefox binded account on fedora linux then change my linux distro and re-setup firefox on Manjaro KDE, login and etc

found out that everything synced but my previous add-ons and open tabs are gone for good I've so many opened tabs are my custom add-ons settings on so many add-ons for personal preferences are gone

I've faced this many times but I thought somehow these days firefox might have fixed these issues but i'm so sad that all my important data are gone :(

I'm using firefox only just for sync+privacy for hassle free setup again and again over many devices otherwise i prefer tor for much anonymity and privacy

PLEASE, YOU GUYS CONSIDER WORKING ON SYNCHRONIZATION FEATURES SPECIFICALLY <ADD-ONS> AND <OPEN TABS>

thanks for reading and pl igonre my english errors

hi

i had my all data saved in my firefox online account , now i logged in on my new laptop , i logged in with my id but i cant find my bookmarks passwords , extensions etc . please help

I updated my password but now when I go to sign in (since an updated password signs out on all accounts) it won't stay signed in ever on my laptop. I input the password, then the email confirmation, then the authentication, and it says I'm signed in but when I go to my account is disconnected again. I've tried many times. I've also cleared the cookies and cache. Any advice?

In seeing other answers to this dilemma it presents another problem. I do use sync. But what troubles me is IF I need to give out the password for someone to use the internet that person now has access to my passwords. Since there seems no way, unless I shutoff sync. Is this correct? Should there be some Secondary password? Passwordpasswordpasswordpasswordetc.

When using university computers, I log in to Firefox Sync so that I have access to my bookmarks and tabs from home. When I do, Firefox will ask to save passwords on my home computer and phone again, even though I had it disabled in the past. Is there a solution for this, other than disabling it manually every time?

Thank you for your time. I'm posting this from my personal computer, so I'm unsure what version of Firefox the university PCs run, but if necessary I can find that information.

I got a new Macbook Pro recently and set it up by basically copying my iMac onto it. All works great. Except that the MBP doesn't show up with it's synced open taps on my iMac or my iphone. The iMac doens't show up on the MBP either.

Have I maybe copied some setting that makes the two machines (iMAc and MBP) thinkt they're one and the same? How can I "separate" the devices so that they show up in each other's Synced Tabs lists, respectively?

I have Firefox on Windows desktop and on my android phone. I have logged into both. When I click on "tabs from other devices" I only see tabs from another PC I use.

I tried logging out of Firefox Android and using the desktop browser's "connect another device" link to log back into it, but it still doesn't appear as a device. What am I missing?

EDIT: Ok now Android tabs are showing up, but not all of them. Seems to cut off after about 40. Anyway to get Firefox Desktop to show all Android tabs?
