Firefox Community Forum

Every time I go to install an OS or reinstall (especially on my laptop), I am happy to see everything sync as intended when I sign in... Except for the darn cookie deletion exceptions. I have a rather long list of websites for which cookies ARE saved, while my global setting is to delete all cookies upon exiting the browser. This one thing does not get ported over. The issue has already been created on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1662804. I would assume that the cookie-keeping-preferences are saved in _some_ file (which I assume, at least on Linux is accessible and modifiable). Could you perhaps point me in the direction of said file, so I can manually transfer over these preferences from my "master" Firefox install on my main machine?

Thank you in advance

Здравствуйте. Предпочитаю работать в режиме "Инкогнито". Интересует есть ли возможность при входе в аккаунт в этом режиме чтоб автоматически восстанавливались последние вкладки и куки? Но при этом чтоб куки не хранились на компьютере или автоматически удалялись после выхода из аккаунта

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?

Trying to get same layout on new computer through syncing. I seem to be able to find my old bookmarks, but not with a simple click as before. Cant even find how to set homwpage on new computer

Dear Support,

I have two laptops - both identical accounts signed in and would like to sync them so that when I open Firefox on laptop 2 it will show me Firefox on laptop 1. and if laptop 2 was last used, then when open laptop 1, it shows me Firefox on laptop 2.

currently it is separate and unique instances.

how do i automate the sync?

thanks, Nicholas

I want move tabs and bookmarks from an older Mac to and newer Mac. Sync seems to only allow an iOS destination. Is there a way to use it between Firefox on two laptops?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?

Hi, I'd like to know how to transfer all my Zen info (including passwords, workspace, history, tabs,... everything), from a previous version or from a mac to another?

Thanks. Joel

How do I sign out of FF on my Iphone? When I attempt to log out of either the computer or the phone it stops sync. I want to be able to use firefox on the phone without having the computer on???!!!

I've got Firefox on three devices and I'm looking to get a little more fine grained control between the synced data.

Ideally I want to sync passwords between all three but only sync bookmarks between two of them. This doesn't seem to be possible with the current options. Is there an alternative short of manually exporting and importing on the devices I want to keep in step?

I need help transferring my bookmarks to a new Mac computer I created a Mozilla account, that was verified, but on the new computer I cant find anywhere to enable "sync now" Can you help me transfer these bookmarks?
