Firefox for iOS Support Forum

On an iPhone, Firefox stores your browsing history within the app’s local storage, which is not directly accessible due to iOS’s security restrictions.

However, you can only export your ~FUTURE~ local mobile browsing history by using Firefox Sync.

Firefox Sync does not work retroactively for local mobile browsing history from past sessions due to the way the synchronization process is structured.

TL;DR: I want to export my local mobile browsing history as .txt or .csv -- When you enable Firefox Sync, it starts syncing the data from that point forward. However, my pre-existing local mobile browsing history cannot be exported as a file such as bookmarks can, and it cannot be saved to my desktop via Firefox Sync for the reasons above. Thus, it is literally only possible to scroll over it and open the sites one-by-one in order to pop them into the Sync-able history, which I do not want to do using iOS automation...

Please fix or advise. Thank you.

I have Firefox on my desktop and iPad and both are synced. I love Firefox on my desktop but, honestly, I have to continue to use Safari on my Ipad because the iOS version of Firefox is nowhere near as good. One of my biggest obstacles to converting to Firefox on my iPad is trying to save bookmarks so I can access them on my desktop. When I bookmark a page on my iPad I cannot find it's location on my desktop. Can you please advise where Firefox places bookmarks that are saved on my iPad. Thanks

Hello,

I have not been able to get my Firefox iOS app and desktop to sync. On both my desktop and phone logins are selected for syncing but each device has its own list of logins which they wont share with each other. I can sync tabs and send tabs from desktop to my phone and the same the other way around. The only thing that doesn't seem to sync is passwords/ logins.

I have uninstalled the app on my phone I have logged out and back in I have cleared connected devices on my account and relogged in

None of the above have worked in getting my device to sync.

When I do a fresh install I only get back the logins that I've manually entered onto my phone. It seems to have it's own list separate form the desktop and neither device is sharing login sync.

Any help would be appreciated, I have 300+ logins on my desktop version and have only manually moved over a small handful to my phone because manually doing so is a pain and they won't sync if I update one on the phone or computer to the other device.

I'm on iOS 109 and desktop version is 109.0 (64-bit). I have been trying for weeks on and off to resolve this issue.

I realise both the device and firefox 8.3 (5826) are end of life. Just defaulted this old tablet and wanting to setup sync again., it scans the QR code but no more.

Is there any manual / otherway of getting sync on it at all ?

Thanks in advance, no bother if no

Neither using the QR code option or the email option work. Both result in a white screen.

By using the iPhone's camera to scan the QR code (instead of using Firefox) I can see that the QR code is point to https://mzl.la/MYCODE. This URL in turn is redirecting to https://app.adjust.com/somecode?campaign=firefox-desktop&adgroup=firefoxview&creative=CODE-123. Opening this URL in Safari gives me a white page with a "Download App" button to download Firefox (which I already have installed).

My Firefox account has the setting "Allow ⁨Firefox Accounts⁩ to send technical and interaction data to ⁨Mozilla⁩." set to off. So probably none of this tracking should occur.

In any case, I went to Firefox settings and turned on "Allow Cross-Website Tracking". I also went to Safari settings and turned off "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking", "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" and turned "Content Blockers".

Then I tried syncing again. The result was the same white page as before.

Hello all, Am I missing something? I've been using firefox for more than a decade on my smart phones, but I just switched to an iPhone and I can't seem to find a way to get my logins and passwords to autofill within the browser. am I stuck doing it manually or am I going to have to switch to safari? any help is appreciated!

New iPhone 14 pro - Moved everything over from the old phone - Signed into Firefox and synced - All bookmarks are present - The option to use saved login information from FF is present - The websites where I have saved logins are all present and listed in the same order as my desktop (desktop version works fine btw)

The problem is that the usernames and passwords are not present for any of the websites. They are just blank when I try to use it directly from a login screen. (pic#1) I can select the website from the list and FF recognizes and recommends the correct website’s “info”, but when I tap it it just autofills blanks.

If I access passwords from the menu options while I am not trying to login to a specific website, I can see the same correct list of websites with saved info, but it says “no username” for all of them and the passwords are blank. (pic#2&3)

I tried and did all solutions on the website like* Clicking disconnect next to all devices

• Clicking Done
• Closing Firefox
• Re-adding just the machine with the passwords

But didn’t work for me.

Hello, I synchronized my Firefox account with my Chrome account, but I still don't see passwords and logins on websites, despite the fact that I have permission to do so in the settings and I see in the Mozilla settings that there are these passwords and logins.

I've tried uninstalling Firefox on iOS and Firefox on Mac and reinstalling them in a different order. But regardless of what I do, the logins that are on my Mac do not sync to my phone. I have about 850 logins on my Mac, and even after I do a manual sync, it still says "No logins found" on my phone. Items like bookmarks and open tabs sync fine.

I'm getting bad request error messages when I try to sign into Firefox on my iphone. I would like to sync my iphone browser to my Macbook. Right now I'm not able to sync bookmarks or any customization.

For some reason, desktop FF keeps asking for syncing with mobile when I'm pretty sure it is, as I can still use some feature, though some dont work like sending tabs. So when I go to firefox on mobile, making a new tab and using the camera to scan the QR code. It doesn't work. When I tried it a few days ago, it told me something went wrong, and now it says that I'm using my iOS camera app instead of the FF app. Hopefully I explained it well.

Tried syncing Firefox Windows 11 (version 21H2) with Firefox mobile browser (Firefox 105.0) and get the following message: 500 Error Oh dear, something went wrong there. We've been notified and will get working on a fix. I have a iPhone 12 Pro. iOS Version: 16.0.2
