Firefox Support Forum

Whenever I sign into Firefox, all my themes, add-ons/extensions are added via Firefox Sync. That's fine, but the problem I have is that whenever I sign into any Firefox browser, an old theme I used to have that I no longer have on my account keeps coming back, and I've tried to find solutions to this issue, but none have had this kind of issue. It may be similar to issues those have had, or currently have, but I can't seem to do anything to remedy this issue.

Keep in mind that this is not a Firefox browser issue, it is an account issue.

I'd be deeply grateful to any assistance you may have for me.

After the update I found that passwords were deleted and browsing history in a way that tried all the solutions did not work. To find these synced files? And how do I get it back to the Browser? The sync list is currently empty.

Team, My firefox time is not sync with my system time. Can you suggest what can be done here. Current time is 10:12AM but whenever new mail is coming the time is showing something different.

Hi, my laptop died and cannot access to it anymore. I got a new laptop and installed Firefox. I tried several passwords but could not remember the correct one so I changed it. When logged in, I found my account empty. How do I restore my data? I search in Firefox website and seems that to restore I need to access in my old computer with the new password, but my old laptop does not even turn on anymore. Please help

I had this issue and corrected it for my account, but a friend has the same problem and I forgot the fix - yes, I'm an old man!

How do I eliminate the Sea Monkey browser as default in Sea Monkey mail? I want to clink a link in the email and had have it open in / with FF.

THANKS Steve

Thank you in advance - Adrienne

I was trying to use the sync function on my MacBook Pro. However, the browser does not seem to log in at all. In the top right menu, it still shows the "sign in" button, instead of my email address. (see the attached pictures which I captured from my mac and a virtual machine running Firefox ESR on Debian. Another test on the flatpak version on the vertural machine apears to be normal.

Checks on account activities indicates the login histroy exsits, yet the syncing function remains unavailable.

the browser on the Mac is Version 102.0.1 (64-bit) which apears to be up to date the browser on the virtual machine is Version 91.11.0esr (64-bit)

information for the systems and machines can be found in the pictures attached.

How can I sync my Firefox browser? It always asks for my Primary Password. I tried resetting my password, deleting/recreating my account, and I'm always asked for the "Primary Password". I can log into Firefox Accounts with my e-mail and known password, but I can't reach the sync option because I'm always asked for the "Primary Password", which seems to be out of sync with my Firefox Account.

1. i have firefox on my pc, now i installed it on my laptop 2. synced to my account on laptop 3. the internet went out halfway through the syncing process (only 3 addons or so installed and then it got stuck) so i closed my laptop and forgot about it 4. i opened firefox on my PC and the account synced 5. the addon bar flashed and all the addons except for 3 are now deleted (they are NOT disabled, they are completely gone from the addons page)

I don't remember the name of every addon i had installed but I need them back.

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening to whoever is reading this,

Yesterday in the early hours of the morning my Firefox updated, and after it restarted following this I lost my session - I have tried to restore my previous session, and sync to the previous session, but both have been unsuccessful. How can I restore that session?

Synchronise options show two sessions - image attached - the new session (red) following the reboot, and the old session (green) that I want to go back to, how can I do this?

I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thank you very much.

Best regards, Sarah

Hi All

I have my account set up on the original laptop. I have just opened my new laptop and logged in to firefox. I have set to sync including passwords and logins. I can see both open Firefox accounts on my laptops simultaneously. They are the same account and they have been synced repeatedly. However my passwords and logins are not appearing on the new laptop. They only show on the old laptop. Why?

Before Sunday FIrefox would sync your bookmarks, passwords and everything you had before. They turned it off and told NO ONE. Google Chrome will has sync that puts in your bookmarks, passwords and everything. TURN IT BACK ON. PEOPLE CAN SYNC BOTH THEIR COMPUTER AND THEIR PHONE!

Hi,

I don't know how but it seems I lost all my account related data. I connected my account to my new computer but I don't have anything: no history, no apps, no password. Is there anything i can do? I have the hard disk of the old computer, can I restore the data from it?

Thank you

Hi, I am trying to sync my Firefox account with a new laptop. Unfortunately, I am asked to verify a code sent to my e-mail, but my e-mail password is stored in my Firefox account so I can't open it. I am unable to access my e-mail any other way at the moment. Please contact me ASAP with a way to unlock my account so I can get my passwords. My regular account e-mail is [email-removed].

Looks like there's no available data.... I want to be able to import the data I used on July 2021 but it is nowhere to be found... How can I get a hold of an old version of my data?

Thanks!

Hi,

first of all thank you all in the community for your amazing work on Firefox!

I have cloned my $HOME (including ./.mozilla/firefox/) to another Linux device.

Now I realize that changing the Firefox Sync device name on the new device would also change it for the other device when checking "Connected Services" https://accounts.firefox.com/settings. I also can only see the new device name when using "Send to device" from any device.

I guess I have to unlink my new device and somehow assign it a new device ID for Firefox Sync to recognize the new device. How can I do that?

I do not see the sync option in the drop down menu, also i do not see a way to sign in from within Firefox i had to go to he website to do it, please advise. thanks jorge
