Firefox Community Forum

I recently got a new PC, and all my information was erased from it. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, as I expected to get everything back by logging into my account. However, after trying to sync my account for hours and searching on Google and YouTube for solutions, none of my information has returned.

When I contacted the person I bought the PC from, he said he couldn't help because I had forgotten to do something, possibly related to a Firefox update. I'm devastated and was hoping someone here could help. Is there a moderator or administrator who could assist with account recovery?

I upgraded to Windows 11 yesterday. I have always been logged in to Firefox with my email, so I thought the bookmarks will come back once I log in on the new windows, but that didn't happen. Some of these bookmarks are work related, so they're fairly important.

Although I'm using the same email, my profile picture is gone too—replaced with a default one. (Not AI generated sentence. I just like using Em dashes)

What could have happened and what can I do to get my bookmarks back? I appreciate any suggestion you can give me.

Thank you in advance.

I've signed in and synced everything from my iphone to my windows computer. When I go to the sync tab view on my computer, it says that my iphone isn't connected. On my iphone I can see the tabs that are from my computer, though. I'm not great with technology so this may just be a simple thing that I'm missing. Would appreciate any help :)

I got my mother a new PC. I'm trying to sync Firefox data from the old PC to the new PC. My mother does not have a smart phone.

This isn't syncing PC to smart phone. It's syncing PC to PC. I thought just entering the username/email address and password on the new PC would do it, but it isn't.

[There are still a lot of people who don't have a smart phone and will never understand one.] [If I use my smart phone, it will sync from my data, not my mother's]
