Firefox Community Forum

I want to sync my phone's firefox browser with my computers but I have so many security issues with google that I'm afraied that they may have control of the browser on my phone, and I most defiantly don't want the issues showing up here on my computer, Just trying to be careful.

I currently have three distinct browser profiles set up on my work computer (one main personal profile, one work profile and one guest profile), but only my main personal profile is syncing data (bookmarks, extensions, history, etc.) across to my other computer. When I log into my other computer, only my main profile appears and syncs. The other two profiles remain isolated to my work computer and aren't accessible or synced on the second machine. I want all three profiles to be available and fully synced across both of my computers so that their bookmarks and settings are mirrored everywhere.

Is it possible to have multiple profiles sync across devices simultaneously under the same account? If so, how can I properly link or set up the remaining two profiles so they sync across both computers without messing up my main profile?

I have left my pc back home. Now I am far away and need to sync the same account on my new pc. 1. Every bit of my data on my account is in cloud so all I have to do is login to that account and press sync. Is that right? 2. How long will it take, usually, to sync all my passwords etc on my new pc?

Regards, Your user

I have multiple profiles created on Firefox. This weekend I bought a new computer. I downloaded Firefox and logged in. None of my profiles are there. How can I sync those or bring them over? I have accounts on those browsers that I need to be able to access. Thank you.

Hello

I have just downloaded Mozilla to my new laptop. I have Mozilla on my old laptop.  Can all my bookmarks be synchronized with the download to my new laptop.  

Thanks.

I see that back in 2015, @JSCHER2000 had a useful suggestion for manually syncing tab groups. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questi.../1053367]

Unfortunately, 11 years later, the option mentioned (to open a tab in a tab group, and right click, and choose "Bookmark all tabs") does NOT exist in current versions.

The extension "Tab Group Syncer" was mentioned elsewhere, and I tried it, but it appears that FF 154 has more security, and it can only see the ONE local device on the home network (itself), and NOT the laptop.

This means that currently, the usefulness of the Tab Groups is reduced a lot. In my use case, I frequently switch between the laptop and desktop, as my wife uses the laptop for most of her email/shopping/online ordering.

The latest open enhancement request in Bugzilla is: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.../show_bug.cgi?id=1979174]

As you will see, this 1 year old request is waiting on comment #2, and the discussion document is NOT public anymore. If any other users want this, I would urge you to open a BUGZILLA account, add your email to the notification list, and use the VOTE button to upvote it. NOTE: the voting UI is a bit clunky: You click the VOTE box, then you get a list (or just the one if you have only voted for this one), then you tick the box to vote, THEN click BACK arrow at the top of the browser, then click on the Refresh circle. You should then see your vote become visible.

Also note that if you want to be emailed about changes that, or ANY BUG in the Bugzilla site, then go to the bottom of its page, and click in the "email me" box, then click "Save Changes".
