Instructions on desktop firefox (in popup) say 1. Open firefox on mobile device. 2. Go to menu on android and tap "sync and save data 3. Tap ready to scan.

Every time I go to settings and try to login to my account it just says 'mozilla' w the logo and won't pull up the login page. I've waited, reloaded, changed to desktop site, and so on.

I have a working account on a pc (which I no longer own or I would just do the QR code) and recently switched phones where on the previous phone I was using Firefox signed in with no issues.

For some reason I was able to sign in on this page but it didn't transfer browserwide or start working when I tried to sign in again. I need my bookmarks and passwords please help! (I'm using Android 12 on a Kyocera Duraforce Ultra)

Open Tab Sync Not Working from Android to Windows

Firefox Sync is not working appropriately insofar as, when I check Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop, I cannot see any tabs being synced from the Firefox app on my Android phone, even though both apps are logged into the same Firefox account and syncing open tabs is enabled on both machines.

However, when I check my phone, I can see all the tabs synced from my desktop. So, this seems to suggest that the sync process is working correctly on both desktop and mobile because I can actually see all the tabs that are open on my desktop, but I cannot see any of the tabs that are open my Android.

Everything is checked to sync on both the Windows and the Android Firefoxes.

Has anyone encountered a situation like this before, where sync is working appropriately, but one device seems to be refusing to upload specific data to the sync servers?

Firefox on Android has a "Collections" option,it is convenient displaying some websites on the startup page.But "Collections" seems not to be synced.It might be more useful if add the option to Sync List. Or it can be used as a specific section of the bookmark (but displayed on the startup page), similar to the bookmarks toolbar on PC. This makes it possible to sync frequently useful websites on both mobile and PC devices. Thank you for reading this.
