Firefox for Android Support Forum

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 took the photo of the QR code on my android [Samsung A11] - then nothing. What is the next step to sync with my pc? Is it done? How can I verify that it is synced? Thanks so much. At almost 78 with active cancer technology is now way past me. Have a great day. Thanks a bunch for your response. Please keep in mind I am totally ignorant and need answers broken down to the minutest detail. [used to do that for others] Sandie Lynch

I have an old phone which runs Android 4.4.2. The manufacturer does not let me upgrade the OS to a later version. The phone has a copy of the most recent version of Firefox for Android 4.4.2, which is Firefox 68.0. In case it matters, it's the version of Firefox from F-Droid. As it is not possible to upgrade the OS version, it is also not possible to upgrade the Firefox version.

This version of Firefox is too old for Firefox Sync. It is possible to log in, but nothing is synchronised.

I need to copy all bookmarks from the phone to my computer. How can I do this?

I need to reset my device to factory settings due to unrelated issues with some other apps but would like to keep my Firefox browser/session as intact as possible including the browsing history.

I've used the synchronization function and it seems to let me migrate my history over to Firefox beta without any issues, is it nonetheless relying on some system backup for this restoration or should I simply be able to sync my account with Firefox, remove the app, factory reset, install the app, login, and have all my data re-synced?

Any advice appreciated.

Is there a way yet to sync collections across mobile devices? I saw a few threads from a couple years ago or more where it's mentioned they may work on one. Another comment says they can't be synced to desktop. Has there been an update to enable it across phones in the last couple years though?

I'm trying to login to my Firefox sync account, and when I login with email or qr code I get stuck with the screen saying warning. Soon after I left my phone to login and came back 15 minuets, and it continued "working".

Android Firefox app can no longer sync. (A 10)

It suddenly logged me out, and I can log in, but I never get to set up the app, nor does it stay logged in. Deleting all app data an downloading a new copy has only made stuff worse. The log in photo of squiggly stamp no longer works either, I still have to do the annoying and slow, buggy 3 point log in, I log in, but I never get to sync. Is Firefox history too now, just like Thunderbird?

I am using a fire fox browser in my windows PC and i would like to have the same book mark tool bar displayed on my android fire fox app. in addition is there is any way to keep opened tabs sync always; meaning having the same mirror on both devices.

I'm on Firefox Nightly 105.0a1. Recently, the synced tab is empty (see picture). However, my device still manage to sync, and can still send tabs to other devices. Also, my device tabs can still be seen by other device. Is this a bug? I have tried relogin but no luck.

Btw, the second picture is EOL firefox. I know it but it's still operational.
