Please explain how to ACTUALLY sync my collections & bookmarks from Firefox on my Android Device with Firefox in a browser. I am signed in to my Mozilla/Firefox account, and have Firefox open on my android Phone. When I click on Sync on the phone, It says go to go to some address similar to firefox.com/Pair - but when I typed this exact address NOTHING happens ( I can't find it now, that page won't come up anymore.) I only get sent to the sync page of the web browser - When I click on add a device - NOTHING happens again. after 7-8 attempts, I FINALLY allegedly set up Sync using my email and password - but now I can't tell if anything is happening!?!

How will I know if things are synchronized? How will I access these bookmarks & history? Where do I look for it when in the Windows browser? NOTHING about this is evident or makes any sense. Nothing works as your instructions say it should. So here's my requests:

• • It would be REALLY helpful if someone would actually write out a description of what it Means to sync your FIrefox tabs and bookmarks across browsers - what is actually synced, and how can we access it? **

And my number one Question - **I have a LOT of bookmarks in "Collections" in Firefox on my Android phone. Can these 'Collections' be synced to the online desktop browser?** That is the main reason I want to sync in the first place - but I don't see Collections as an option anywhere in the Windows Firefox browser

In order for me to sync my Android bookmarks to my Win10, I have to do a manual sync while going the other way is automatic. It also seems to take a few minutes to go from Android to Windows; are both of these situations normal?

Hi, I have two laptops, and I've been using my Firefox account on one of them only. I want to link / sync the other laptop, and have the combined set of bookmarks from both laptops saved to my account. I want to make sure not to lose existing bookmarks from either one. That is, I don't want the sync to delete existing bookmarks on the laptop which is not yet connected. I want the two sets of bookmarks to be combined into one. How do I do that?

Many thanks, Noam

My Sync is all fouled up and I don't have a valid recovery code: 1) How do I erase all traces of Sync from my laptop, my Android phone and my Android tablet? 2) Exactly how do I set up Sync again? 3) How do I generate a new recovery code?

Thanks. After using Firefox for years, I still have trouble with the little things.

Firefox added a new feature called 'tab group' that I love. Since I have many tabs, now I can group them in a 'tab group' and give it a name so I have fewer tabs and less clutter and can open a 'tab group' to display all its tabs. Kind of a file manager with folders and files but for browser and its tabs. The question is, how do I sync all tabs and tab groups in Firefox browser in all my devices so I can work seamlessly? One device is Windows 10 Pro,, another is Windows 11 Pro and the third is my iPhone with Firefox app. I would really appreciate some guidance.

How can I sync my groups between different instances of Firefox (other computer)? That should cover both active and saved groups to have real usefulness. Thank you

I want to sync live data from all different browsers or devices that I use in. one device If I delete one tab, it should immediately be reflected on the another device tab which means all should have the same tabs on all devices at the same time

I have just purchased an iMacAir 3, 2024. For the last 12+ years I have used an obviously much older iMac. I think I have successfully installed Firefox in my new laptop, but want also to tranfer all my passwords, bookmarks, etc. How do I do this?

Bonjour, J'ai deux PC sous wind11. Je retrouver tous mes Marques Pages du premier PC sur le second PC . J'ai installé Firefox et en synchronisant cela ne me donne rien... Auriez-vous une suggestion ? Je vous remercie par avance. Clt. A.

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!
