Firefox Community Forum

My password is accepted to get into Firefox but not accepted to sync, I guess it is. It used to do so for years but now will not after the last update. Doing what the threads already suggested does not work in part because my Firefox does not even have the same places to activate what the suggestions offer.

HI,

My HDD crashed and replaced with a new SSD. I would like to transfer my saved passwords to my new SSD. I logged in to my Firefox account and tried to sync the data, but no results. Please guide me if I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks in advance Kaubon

I've just gone through having to reinstall windows due to 24H2 and I've got Firefox back thankfully.

My problem is that the sync account has created another device name (as I hadn't restarted after renaming the computer).

Can I get my old device profile back and discard the new one?

Can I just uninstall firefox then reinstall now the computer has been renamed after a restart?

With thanks, Dave

I recently had my computer serviced and when i got it back the firefox version I had was removed. I redownladed and entered my gmail and my passwords and bookmarks did not restore

I have bought a new laptop and I want to synchronize data from old one to new one. Unfortunately, the old laptop is off and I cannot use it. Instead, I have also the mobile android chrome which I can use. Please advise.

Hello, I have been sending links from my iphone to telegram, then clicking each link individually to open in firefox and then saving all the links as bookmarks. Is there a way to send links from my iphone to my computer or firefox so that I can open the links as a batch or save them as a batch of bookmarks without individually clicking on them? I was thinking about sending them as I get the links on my iphone individually as html files, then highlighting all of them with my cursor and opening them all at once as separate tabs in firefox, then saving them as a batch of links (which I know how to do), but I don't know how to send links from iphone to my laptop as individual html files.

I tried firefox sync but it does not work well with iphone, because it will sync and sometimes delete previously saved bookmarks. So I'd like a new route if you have one. Apologies in advance if I should be on the apple or microsoft forum, please redirect me if so. Thank you so much!

Hi I have used two computers for different purposes and places, but have had the same account with passwords synchronized on both machines. I would like to synchronize everything - especially bookmarks and payment methods - on the machines. My question is: what happens if I 'just' set synchronization active in all sections on both machines? Is one of the machines considered the 'master' machine, so its 'content' is synchronized to the other, so that content that was not on the 'master' machine is deleted? Or is everything preserved, so I have all content from both machines on both machines? Where can I possibly find more detailed information about this? Thanks in advance.

I'm doing a clean up and restoration of my current windows. Its great that now firefox has sync which makes transferring easier. Base on the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-synced-tabs-other-devices

"Additionally, you can use the Firefox Sidebar to access synced tabs. While viewing synced tabs in Sidebar, right clicking on device name allows you to open all tabs from a device at once. "

I've tried and search everywhere but I don't see this option at all. There is no option even after right clicking.

At the same time, i'm wondering if sync is better than copying the entire profile over
