Hi! I bought a second MacBook, but cannot find any accurate instructions for adding it as one of my devices.

On the MacBook, I get the QR code page, but nowhere in the phone is the supposed "Sync" page to scan that code. I literally looked in every single area that I could. These are the instructions:

Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code

There is "Sync now," but that is only syncing to the old laptop.

I logged out and back in on the new MacBook, and now it shows in Firefox on it and my iPhone (Connected Services), but now the old MacBook is no longer in the device list on either the new one or the phone.

It would be so much easier to just have an obvious "Add a device" button.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

How to stop syncing with Chrome (but not other Firefox installs)

The title pretty much says it - I have Chrome and Firefox on both my iPhone and my windows PC. I want Chrome to sync with itself on both devices (it does this just fine) and Firefox to sync on both (does this fine too). What I don't want is my history, bookmarks, etc. syncing between Chrome and Firefox. I didn't set this up intentionally but that's what they're doing now - my Google search history from Firefox is showing up when I open the main Google page in Chrome (on both devices). I'm not signed into my Google account in Firefox so I'm a little baffled by how this is happening. I have two completely different use cases for these two browsers and don't want them swimming in the same pool, as it were. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!
