Firefox Community Forum

Hi, I switched to a new phone recently, and wasn't able to outright sync all of my open tabs from the old device. It was, however letting me access them from the tab menu on my new device, so it wasn't a big deal.

Now I can't see the other phone in the tab menu, just the sync from my PC. I don't have the old phone anymore, because it was a trade in for my current device.

Is there any way to get my old tabs back? The sync must have timed out, because there was no activity for a period of time. I have Firefox synced on all of my devices.

Thank you.

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer and expected Firefox to sync and restore my saved passwords, as I had enabled Firefox Sync before reinstalling. However, after syncing my account, my passwords did not appear, and I am unable to access them.

I have already tried the following steps:

   Checked the sync status of my Firefox account.
   Ensured that I am signed into the correct Firefox account on my browser.
   Searched for any relevant troubleshooting steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Could you please assist me in restoring my saved passwords or provide any guidance on how I can retrieve them?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Tameem

Running Win11 on desktop PC. Sync option offers QR code to scan but Firefox on android does not have sync scan option on settings. Despite instructions to contrary, that option is not listed on mobile. Yes I'm logged in and yes I have synced previous versions of firefox

I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

so i signed into my firefox account on a new computer and every time i hit the sync now button it brings a pop up for half a second then it disappears and no changes happen to my bookmarks or any of my other synced data.looked through the forums could not find anything that was even similar to my problem

I set up sync, I went thru my old passwords on my Mac browser Firefox and deleted many old/dead ones, expected to see the list on my iPhone Firefox browser to match. Signed in properly on both, pressed sync several times each time showing complete.

I'm still seeing PW's I deleted on my Mac in my Iphone's list...

What could be the problem? I have uBlock Origin ad blocker installed.

Thanks

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

Hi, I'm new to asking the Firefox community a question, but I hope you can give me directions to solve my problem:

I currently have Firefox v. 78.15.0esr on an iMac (early 2008) running OS 10.9.5.

I know that version has been unsupported by Mozilla for a few years, but I still want to keep this computer alive after I install the latest Firefox version to the newer (refurbished) iMac M3 2023 which should come with OS 14 or OS 15.

I hope that downloading the latest Firefox for Mac version off your website should be pretty straightforward, but what I really need help on is how to bring my Profile residing in the Library/Caches/Firefox folder on my older iMac to become my Profile on the latest Firefox version on the newer iMac (while still keeping my older iMac).

Appreciate the help.

I don't know exactly which topic my question belongs in so here it is: When I change my home page on my computer in my bed room, it also changes my home page in my office. The home page in my office will not come up on my computer in my bedroom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

win10 last FireFox, how migrate all open tabs from one computer to another I cant find clear instruction or video, all they are old and mention about menu part which my vercion does not have.

I can't get open tabs to sync from my other computer. Bookmarks synced and other info but I don't see anything about tabs from other devices. I've synced both ends, both are logged in and I've selected open tabs in both. Nothing,
