This is infuriating. I have hundreds of Pocket saves, and a couple dozen Pocket tags. They did not/do not migrate when I do what Firefox tells me to do: log in with my Firefox account.

How does one get their saved Pocket articles to show up after being logged in with my Firefox account?

I've been fighting this for a week now, and dont remeber every detail in exact chronolgical order, and really don't remember the "why's". Butt here goes, got a new pc, while trying to get all accounts moved to new pc, I changed pwd's, I think so I could install a new recovery key. Anyway, signed in with new pc, and phone, went back to the old computer to sync, since all three devices would be under new log in, and tried to sign in, using new password, and it did not work ("wrong password"), confused went to new pc, I was now signed out, and got the "wrong password" error, phone same issue, logged in, now logged out, can't sign in.

I have tried using the old pw, the new pw, but the old key is nowhere to be found, the new key, and everything else I can think of. I had to create a new account to be able to post here, or do anything else, tried to combine the two acct's, got a sign in was successful message, but then immediately said "you don't have permission".

Please tell me I did not lose over 250 bookmarks and passwords, because someone decided it was a good idea to tie all your information to one word and have it deleted if you have a brain fart, or a pc glitch with no hope of recovery. If you need more info please ask, at this point I'll give you my first born son to get back in this account.

I had to switch to a new Windows 11 laptop. I installed firefox my favorite browser. It has been a disaster. after 1 week of trying different settings I have been unable to log into Facebook, Ally Bank, Netflix and others. I have changed the delegated credentials from true to false and it doesn't work at either setting. I am either getting SSL errors, "Pardon the Interruption" on netflix and some sites just say "Unable to log you on". Please note that I can successfully log on all the apps on Edge.

Switching to a new Mac computer and trying to get the bookmarks back, especially the tool bar. I did the export and import steps. Both export to HTML and as a backup file. Next I airdrop it to the new computer and try and import it there. Seems to work (no errors), but no bookmarks. I have looked at google videos and tried searching you help area.

Chrome i just log in and it comes over, I remember losing everything in firefox last time I got a new computer and had to rebuild from scratch. I can't afford that again, please help.

I downloaded the new Firefox update and now cannot go anywhere from the Mozilla icon except my email. When I click on a link or enter a new address, nothing happens. Sorry I downloaded. Everything worked perfectly before. I've used Mozilla for years and this has never happened. I'm fed up. I do not want to use MS Edge.

I've been using Firefox for two years on my laptop (currently using Chrome just to write this), and today the browser closed all my windows taking me back to the desktop. When I went to reopen Firefox, the desktop icon had been removed. I redownloaded it and it took me back to my previous windows even, so I didn't think anything of it, but I noticed that the desktop icon was gone once more and yet the browser was still open. It was fine for a couple of hours, but then the "Windows Defender" pop up kept coming up telling me there was a virus and to restart my computer. I restarted it, and went back to download Firefox again, but now it keeps saying "Failed—Virus Detected".
