Hi,

I saved a new login on Firefox Android, but this did not sync to the desktop version. I tried syncing manually on both devices (which kind of defeats the point) and still no avail. The option to sync logins is activated on both devices, so I don't know what the problem is. I have tested this twice (two passwords saved on Android) and on both occasions they didn't sync to the desktop.

I also tested the process the other way around by saving a new login on the desktop and that synced to Android just fine!

Please help.

Hello there,

I changed my Mozilla password and naturally had to log in again into my account on Android. The whole process worked flawlessly, I can get into my account, the device is shown in the active sessions, everything seems fine. However, when I open the settings on Android, Firefox tells me to log in into my account to sync the data - so I am simultaneously logged in and not logged in. I have restarted Firefox, restarted my phone, un- and reinstalled Firefox, nothing updates the app to finally acknowledge that I am logged in. Is there anything else I can do?

Firefox Sync. How does it work?

I'm moving away from Brave for one reason:

- If you do not have brave sync on at least 2 devices and your device crashes, your bookmarks are lost.

Looking for a webbroswer with sync capability comparable to that of Google-Chrome, I remembered that Firefox exists.

And I have one question about it: How does its sync work? Let us say I am connected to my firefox sync account solely on my computer. And then my computer crashes and is unrepairable. Can I just log into my firefox account on another machine and get all my bookmarks back? (like in the case of Google-Chrome)????

Thanks!

So, I'm switching back to Edge, again, because something basic with browsers isn't working in FF, again. This time it's syncing via Firefox Sync.

Three Windows 10 PCs and an Android Phone. All are connected to my Firefox account, all are set to sync everything - bookmarks, history, accounts/passwords, extensions, etc. The only thing that is currently reliably syncing between devices are the extensions.

A few days ago I posted about how nigh impossible it is to manage the saved accounts/passwords in FF because it takes forever to select one, manage it, confirm it, then move to the next, whereas Edge you can just select AND manage in one click, or multi-select to delete.

My work around to that was to just nuke everything via the menu, manage the accounts in Edge and re-import them back to FF. This worked for the one instance of FF on that one PC. The other PCs got only partial data synced, but I was able to see the entire changed data set in Edge on the other PCs.

Today, I added a bookmark via my phone. It did not sync. Even after confirming that sync is enabled, and even after specifically telling FF on the phone to sync, then FF on the desktop to sync.

Every install of FF is updated to current.

I'm beginning to not care what Google does with the Manifest and trust, maybe naively, that the extensions developers will find a way.

Hi All,

On desktop I have uBlock Origin and in the Sync list option "add ons" it ticked.

On Android I can't see "add ons" in the Sync list option and if I go to the add ons settings I can only see the Recommended. uBlock Origin is listed but it looks like I have to install it again on Android, it is not automatically there.

Is this normal? Do I have to reinstall it?

Thanks

So, I have 3 devices I have sync turned on, two laptops, and android phone. Laptops are where I do most of my actual work work, but the phone is where I get ideas and orders and things like that from, so where I do a lot of that stuff from. Now, I know how to open all on the laptops, but, I have only found a way to do this one tab at a time on android.

and I have been slowly opening the tabs one at a time, but i have around 840 tabs left to open.

I know this will severely slow the phone down for a while, while it attempts to do this, but I am more than willing to set my phone down over night for this...
