Firefox Support Forum

I have been using Sync to keep my data backed up for the last 3 months. I got a new computer and logged in expecting Sync would bring my data in. To my surprise, NOTHING! All my open tabs, all my book marks, history, saved passwords... GONE!

And I can't go to the old computer because it has been turned in.

Where is my data?

When I reinstalled firefox, I had a complete sync on my Tablet (chrome), and my phone (Android).

I signed in using Authy as the MPA. my account came back as blank. I thought wierd. Then signed in again to my phone, It was also blanked, even though it showed previous website visits than no longer were in the profile.

I know have one device (Chrome book). with a complete profile and book mark list, along with passwords etc. Dont wanna sync, as it will wipe that as well. How can I get it to populate correctly.

From Chrome to Android etc.

Tabs werden ungewollt geschlossen obwohl beim Start wiederhersgestellt werden sollen. Jemand ein Plan was da los is oder is das bekannt und wird in kürze gefixt ?

Danke

Hello, Last time I attempted to sync Firefox on my existing PC and Laptop, I ended up with only what was on the 'minor' of the 2 devices. How do I do the initial sync to ensure that the settings on my PC, my 'primary' computer, are moved to the Laptop (the secondary computer) and not the other way around? Thanks Chris

Hi I use Firefox on 2 mac and 1 IoS device. The passwords or saved logins don't seem to sync across devices, even though they are all logged in via my account. Kindly advise.

Hi,

I've imported all bookmarks, login data and everything else from Brave browser to Firefox and I can use Firefox as if I'm using Brave. All my data have been imported. Until here everything is ok, but I switched my pc and started to use Firefox with my Firefox account and enabled sync. Boookmarks and login information that I saved before importing have been synched but the imported data haven't been synched. So I can't use any login info or bookmarks from old Brave.

I've double checked sync options and see that everything that can be synched are checked.

What can I do to fully synchonise my browsers?

IF I CANNOT GET BACK INTO MY FIREFOX AND/OR GOOGLE ACCOUNT I CANNOT GET MY EMAILS TO SYNC. How does someone get ACCOUNT HELP? I'll pay for the blasted help if just to get my emails out of FIREFOX? Such BAD customer service -- oh yeah, we aren't CUSTOMERS cause Firefox is FREE. Right now that is EXACTLY WHAT FIREFOX and MOZILLA are worth -- NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, TRASH! And now it will cost me $$$$$ to get my computer completely reset to eliminate ALL TRACES OF FIREFOX!!!

Hi there! I installed Firefox on a new computer, set up my sync account and don't have (or see) all my passwords.

I had almost 300 passwords, now I have 60~ passwords on my new PC.

Can anyone help me?

Reinstalled windows on my computer and installed firefox just now. Done this procedure multiple times, not new to me. What is however new, is that firefox seemingly wiped my complete backup from my account in Firefox sync, theres nothing left and obviously I did not create a manual backup of all my Firefox data because I already did this procedure 5-10 times in the past.

I am absolutely furious right now, its not just the saved pages, many of which are needed for work, but also the countless number of saved login details.

I need help desperately right now before I completely uninstall everything Firefox related and never touch it again.

I've logged in on a brand new installation of macOS (Ventura), but it does not sync my logins, passwords, etc. The settings for the sync are also enabled and it works fine on Windows and Linux. Also tried rebooting, but no luck so far.

I have bought a new computer and want to sync all my passwords and stuff. it is asking for the authentication code to proceed but i don't have it, how can i disable authentication code when it is asking for it to disable. don't know what or how to proceed? please help. -Mike M.

I have a 2nd laptop that I need to sync for my passwords and bookmarks, everytime I try to sync it says incorrect password, when I know it's correct. then locks me out after a few attempts but it works fine on the main laptop! Please, I need help! thank you

I have had several computers and a phone synced with Firefox. Recently, my mac book had to be wiped and OS reinstalled. Since then I have been unable to sync to my Firefox account on that laptop. I enter my standard email and the same password as on my desktop, but get an error stating, "Incorrect Password".

Following suggestion from an older thread with the same problem, I installed a nightly build on my desktop and tried to log in with that, unsuccessfully. Same problem. I used my same email and same password, but the nightly build version of Firefox reported the error, "Incorrect Password".

While thinking about this, I checked my newish phone and found it was not synced either. Using my email and password, I was unable to get it to sync. However, I was able to sync the phone using the QR code. So my phone is now synced to my Firefox account.

I really want to get the laptop to sync to my Firefox account and am mystified as to how to track down what the problem might be.

Just now I recreated my firefox login password and re-logged into the firefox account. After synchronization, I did not find my bookmarks and saved logins. Could you please help me troubleshoot the problem? Firefox Verison: Desktop: Firefox 102.9.0esr(64Bit) Debian 11 Mobile: Firefox Nightly 113.0a1(Build #2015940355), 77b44afdeb+ GV:113.0a1-20230322094136 AS:97.2.0 Android 13

Password synchronization is turned on, and I can't see the synced password on the other machine, but I can see the synced bookmarks。As shown in the image, password synchronization is turned on。Hope to get help, thank you all.

Dear Mozilla

This is the first time I've ever written to you about anything, but I don't know what to do next

I have an account [I think it's a mozilla account, not exclusively for firefox] but I think instead of using the one account, there might be one or two devices signed into another account. I have multiple domains and I think an account for my email address on two of them: [edited] @incorrigo.com and [edited] @incorrigo.me

Now I've added a new domain to my project, and purchased a decent SSL certification: [edited] @incorrigo.io

What I want to ask you is: - do I have two accounts running with the two email addresses above? + if yes, are they configured to work together in such a way that no action from me is needed? + if yes, can they be merged to create one new account: [edited] @incorrigo.io [provided that I can clear security for both existing accounts] + if they can't be merged into a new account, what do I need to do in order to go about doing this myself? - can you give me more information? that's specific to: (a)sync tabs / settings across devices; (b) saving my bank card details so they can be used without having to go and find my bank card [which is in safe keeping somewhere for me]; (c) saving various login, password, session details; my personal privacy [client-side]

I understand that this is probably an unusual problem but if I can merge and recover such details [you don't even need to create a new account, if I could just import what I need from the least-used one, into the most-used one]

There are a number of devices that I am logged in on, and I'm sure that [edited] @incorrigo.com or [edited] @incorrigo.me is signed into quite a few places. I don't mind any active logins, I just want to know which account appears to get used the most so that I can grab any settings I get from the other one and then delete any un-necessary / redundant accounts / data

You can contact me on: [multiple email address removed from public forum] irc://irc.incorrigo.io/theo

Kind Regards Theo

I have reset the account accidentally to recover my password all the data is lost. Could you please change the data back to my old copy on server please. I don't have a local copy of the data
