Hi,

My main pc is not working anymore. I opened up an old one but I have the bookmark from last year on it even after syncing. I wanted to retrieve my bookmarks from the pc that crashed. I went to my firefox app but now even there the old bookmarks are sync.

How can I retrieve a previous syncronisation from IOS app? On the PC i can restore a old version but the one that I have on my PC are from a year ago. Can I retrieve a more recent sync or back up from the IOS app?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Best,

Bonsoir pourriez vous me dire comment importer mes dossiers créés dans Safari iphone dans l'application Firefox iphone. Où sont les paramètres Firefox. Je vous remercie pour votre aide. Cordialement Mme CHASSELIN Monique

The subject says it all.

Catastrophic Macbook failure where I had to reboot the entire system. Luckily my phone still was signed into my Firefox account so I thought my bookmarks were safe. When I redownloaded and signed into Firefox from my Macbook I had no Bookmarks, no backup file, clicked sync, nothing happened. I still had all my bookmarks on my iPhone Firefox there and tried sync there.

Instead of syncing all my existing bookmarks or giving me a warning I was going to sync my Macbook(missing all bookmarks) to my iPhone(still had all bookmarks) it sync'd to now the iphone having no bookmarks, account passwords or cookies.

I have read through all the articles, I have tried to contact any support. Please help.

Thanks, Garrrett

Hi, all!

I bought a second MacBook. I am clearly logged in to Firefox on both laptops and my iPhone. I can share tabs between all three. I can access history between all three. However, Bookmarks on MacBook #2 are not updating with what I add to MB #1 or my phone. MacBook #2 is my business laptop, and the more important of the two. When I first got it, Bookmarks synced, but somehow stopped.

AND! Mozilla's instructions to pair/sync are inaccurate. There is no "Sync and save data" to tap on in iOS, and no matter where I look in iOS Firefox Settings, I see no way to scan the QR code. None of the Help pages I've seen have different or better info.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. John

I'm signed into Firefox on both my iPhone and my PC desktop, and I can see that both devices are listed under my account. I want to send all of my tabs from my iPhone to my desktop at once. When I sync, nothing happens. I can't find a way to send the tabs other than one at a time. This was straightforward and easy when I had Firefox for Android, but I have yet to find a way to do it with iOS.

Hi All

Quick Question - I was stupid and reset my account forgetting I had a recovery key so lost all my data. I realized an old iphone still has most of my bookmarks - how can I export from Firefox iOS app without syncing with my firefox account (which will then wipe out the data)

is this possible? Or could I create a new firefox account, then login into on my phone while keeping my bookmarks? Then export when the new account sync my old phone's data by logging into the new account on my computer? Thanks!!

I’m running Firefox 131.4 (46621) on my iPhone 12.

I’m setting up a new Mac, and I’m trying to sync the freshly installed Firefox (132.0.1 aarch64) with my other FF instances.

The sync instructions ask if I have FF for mobile, then provide a QR code and give these instructions: 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu /// on iOS and tap «Sync and save data» 3. Tap «Ready to scan» and hold your phone over this code

There is *no* «Sync and save data» menu item, and I can’t find any other location where I might scan a QR code.

Er, help?
