I think I'm already set up I was allowed to get past with the passwords I used....? This is really tiring and stressful with all these passwords and these tricks and confusion. Then being "locked out" if you make a slight mistake.

Dear Community.

The Login on the Android app doesn't seem to work for me.

After scanning the QR-Code and Login in. It shows me my logged in Firefox Account. But somehow doesn't apply it onto the app.

What could be the cause of the problem? I've already reinstalled the app.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I cannot find the option that says sync and save data. Also, there's no way to scan the QR code. I follow the instructions but the sync and save data option is just not in the menu.

Thank you, Kristina

It keeps asking for the 6 digit code from my authenticator app which was lost when my phone crashed. Also, I can't seem to find my backup codes on any of my hard drives or SSDs on my computer (which was hacked about 6 months ago and I am still recovering from that), but have instituted more security measures. I can access Firefox fine on my computer. I think all I need to do is remove 2fa and then add 2fa back, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I was setting up a Firefox Account and apparently entered the incorrect email address, thinking that Firefox would fill it in for me since it's all over my account. Turns out the confirmation code, now needed to proceed with anything, was emailed to: [email address] instead of [email address] which is correct. How can it be corrected? Thanks

Can't get 2fa codes on authenticator app

Hi, just switched phones, setting up FF on my new phone. Went to establish a sync. Scanned the QR code on the desktop. Approved on the phone. Now it says the other device, i.e., my desktop must approve. The desktop wants a 6 digit 2fa code from my authenticator app. That's nice, but it is a new phone and I don't have FF set up in the authenticator app yet. I have a bunch of backup codes, but none is a 6-digit code. There is no alternative method suggested (like texts, emails).

Perhaps I'm missing something simple, since I've done this before, although years back. But how do I get my phone in sync without 2fa codes from an authenticator app? Thanks in advance.

  1. 1- last week Firefox was blocking me from accessing certain sites that I always go to.
  1. 2- I cannot access about:config. I've tried signed in and out as well as with different search engines and I just get a blank screen. Help?
  1. 3- is it normal for FF to have permission to download files without notifying? I checked the permission list and seemed like there is alot of dangerous and malicious permission allowed as system permissions. Please help?
  1. 4- when I log in and check devices, 2 new logins show up. One says my phone's model # and the second one says logged into Firefox browser or something like that. Is it normal to have duplicates like that when I only use my Android phone?
  1. 5- I've tried and cannot find any way to login to my network or make any network changes? Please help?

I commented on play store and was told to send my question on here so they could be investigated more. Thank you for your help.
