I have setup an account for my mobile devices, a Samsung A25 phone and a Kindle fire HD 10. My original goal was to backup/copy my browsing history from the kindle fire. Tabs and bookmarks seem to be synced to my desktop from the fire but history is not. History from the Samsung appears to be synced to the desktop and the kindle fire but the fire's history does not appear on my desktop. The Firefox version on the kindle is 133.0.3 (Build #2016060959), hg-7ed49fe90e84+ GV: 133.0.3-20241209150345 AS: 133.0. I have tried signing out and in repeatedly on both the desktop and the kindle and did sync now many times. I really want to save this history and I don't think I should have to root the device, with all the problems that causes, just to copy the history file.

I wanted to switch to Firefox and they are making it difficult! I am using Firefox on Android and Windows 11 on desktop. All I want is to sync my mobile device to desktop. I followed the documentation. After all kinds of login obstacles, I was able to log in to the Firefox app. I clicked the menu and there is NO OPTION to “Sync and save data” as described in the documentation. I have wasted 30 minutes trying to figure this out. Please advise. thank you.

I have re-synced by desktop and laptop today, but I am unable to sync with my Android phone.

The instructions say to bring up firefox on my phone and click sign in. But whenever I type 'firefox.com' or 'firefox.com/pair' into my firefox browser on my Android phone, I get a version that offers to download firefox! I've been using it for years. I cannot find a way to sign in as instructed.

This has been a very frustrating experience, and I generally expect Mozilla/Firefox to do better.
