Hi I foolishly enabled synch yesterday and today find my (extensive) bookmarking folder system has been turned upside down. It appears to have been reorganised most recent last - very inconvenient. Two questions: can I reverse this?; and is there an easy system for removing many bookmarks chosen randomly at once, rather than one by one? Thanks Tony

Hi, I open a lot of links on my andorid phone and want to read them on my laptop. I synched both devices so I am able to open my Android tabs from my laptop, but now I want to definitely close the pages I've read on both devices, but when I right-click on the tab in the 'tabs from other devices' list, the option "Close tab on Firefoxe #android#" is greyed, How can I use this very option I was looking for ?

I want to make my data last longer, as I am on low income. An article said it saves to my computer. Do I have to have my computer with me always?

recently on a shared Windows 11 PC another user signed me out of Firefox and signed in with their Firefox account. For some reason this user kept my profile and now has access to my credit cards, passwords etc and this had synced to their other devices. So far I have not been able to log back in to Firefox on this PC. This is a security nightmare. Any thoughts on how I clean this up?

I have lost all bookmarks on a new laptop. Recently added C Cleaner and did a scan. That may have caused the problem. But, now I cannot recover the bookmarks, nor can I save new bookmarks. The version of Firefox on my android phone has the bookmarks. I can see them. But, I do not see a way to sync the devices and import the data to my laptop.

Please advise.

I went through my laptop and turned off enhanced tracking protection for a variety of financial, work, etc. websites.

I was disappointed that this did not sync with my other computers.

Here's hoping Firefox developers will incorporate ETP exceptions into account sync.

I see a list of the my seven devices that use FireFox in the Connected Services list. I want to restore the data from my old phone onto my NEW phone. However, there doesn't appear to be a way to sync only the data from the old phone. When it syncs, it get the data from one of my 4 PCs. Can I select a data set to restore to my new phone?

Sending links from iphone to firefox

Hello, I have been sending links from my iphone to telegram, then clicking each link individually to open in firefox and then saving all the links as bookmarks. Is there a way to send links from my iphone to my computer or firefox so that I can open the links as a batch or save them as a batch of bookmarks without individually clicking on them? I was thinking about sending them as I get the links on my iphone individually as html files, then highlighting all of them with my cursor and opening them all at once as separate tabs in firefox, then saving them as a batch of links (which I know how to do), but I don't know how to send links from iphone to my laptop as individual html files.

I tried firefox sync but it does not work well with iphone, because it will sync and sometimes delete previously saved bookmarks. So I'd like a new route if you have one. Apologies in advance if I should be on the apple or microsoft forum, please redirect me if so. Thank you so much!
