Maybe I am blind and wise developers already have this option but I doubt it!! and my obvious question is how in the world I have to sync all my collection list of web pages ???? and pinned sites ??? why this is so hard for a dev brain to understand that if you made a option for storing weblinks so should be a way of saving all this !!!! VERY OBVIOUS THING !!but in 2023 we still have problems losing bookmarks and other data !!! because of horible app design (not UI) !! im in the process in moving to new phone and I'm stuck because I don't see a way of saving all my old phone to ne without deleting lot of info or with lot of manual work to copy at least something and this is 2023 !!!

I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.


And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

In firefoxe's documents, please ...

  • provide summary of what needs to be achieved before syncing can take place (there are many ways to sync and almost as many ways to cause corruption of the data ... (don't make us guess and do trial and error
  • does syncing of the devices have to be with all the devices at the same time?
  • which device has the master base. I have assumed my PC contains the master data base.
  • If I press sync now, will the device I am on sync to the master ... or will the other devices sync to my current device. Push or pull?
  • If another device was updated last, does it override all other devices? If a login and password were removed after it was changed on my current device, does that override my current device.
  • Are the any known sources of corruption of the data base?
  • Can only one device, the current one device edit the data base.
  • Must all devices remain connected even when not syncing?
  • Please mark documents when predicated... and point to the latest.
  • If I have multiple computers, do your answers still hold?
... I am have lots of corruption problems...

i have a mozilla account. I am pretty sure I am logged in on both desktop, laptop and android.

no matter what I do, the "sync and save data"option on android does not appear. when I view the qr code on my android galaxy a14 5g android version 13 it takes me to the google play store where my choices are open or uninstall. when I tap open, it asks "do you want to leave firefox?". google play screen re-appears. 2nd time I tap to open, it just displays the url and android browser is blank. mzl.la/3NDxAIS

how can I sync my android version 121.1.0 to my desktop?
