How do I get my sign ins, passwords, bookmarks, etc., on my laptop to the Android version of Firefox on my new Android phone? I have signed into my Firefox on my laptop and instructed it to "Sync". It says it has synced on my laptop. Now how do I get that information I mentioned above to sync to my phone? I tried taking a picture of the QR code on my laptop but it says I need to pair it with another device, but doesn't say how to do that. I need my bookmarks, passwords, sign ins transferred/copied to the Firefox browser on my new Nokia X100 phone. It just keeps telling me I need to pair my device but no further instructions.

Being a decade user of Firefox I must say that I started to hate it because the last editions hide the choice for enabling or disabling javascript. The stupid comand "about:config" leads nowhere and all previous answers are absurd. Why Mozilla decided to hide the option " turn on / turn off" javascript? It turned a previously great navigator into a stupid user unfriendly useless software. I use the internet for over 40 years and Firefox has always been my favourite. What obscure financial reasons made developers decide to hide the simple option of earlier editions? Please put back the "on/off" option for javascript. Untill then I'll use Chrome.

So I usually read long books that are only divided in chapters online, so no page numbers, using the reader mode in dark mode to make it nicer to read. The problem is that it does not save where I stopped on the page last time while reading like firefox used to as far as I remember. This makes things annoying as I need to remember and find where I stopped reading. Again, long browser pages with no page numbers to remember. I don't even close the pages on my phone and it happens both when I close the browser or just minimize it. I remember that it used to save it without problems. Is this a bug or just a removed feature? Hopefully someone here can help as I didn't find anything helpful via google. If there are more details neededI will add them on request.

Home Button? Why? It is useless because I cannot set up my home page. I removed Firefox Android from my phone now because of this. Also the new Firefox 100 is too cluttered with too many useless features. Am thinking about removing from my PC. Been unhappy with the changes and FireFox platforming "censorship" and showing political bias to woke agendas and free speech. Was a longtime big fan but I do not see Firefox doing well in the near future.

«HTTPS Only Mode versus HTTPS Everywhere (Add-on)»

1. ¿Hay que desactivar uno de los dos sistemas de seguridad "HTTPS" en favor del otro para que todo funcione correctamente?

1. ¿Do you have to disable one of the two "HTTPS" security systems in favor of the other for everything to work properly?

2. ¿Pueden coexistir y funcionar al mismo tiempo ambos sistemas de seguridad "HTTPS" sin que se interfieran mutuamente?

2. ¿Can both "HTTPS" security systems coexist and work at the same time without interfering with each other?
