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

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.

Firefox Nightly Will NOT Sign in To Synch

I've been using Firefox Nightly for Android and Firefox for Android for years without issue. I've left Nightly at build 68.5a1 as it has several features that later bulds removed. I sync across all my mobile devices but NOT with my desktop. When a website requires a newer browser version to run, then I switch to plain Firefox.

Today Nightly would NOT open. It opened and pointed to an offline file. I noticed it was marked by "///". I'm sorry I didn't take a screenshot or note the file.

Reading several posts, I removed Nightly, purged the cash and purged the data. Then I reinstalled Nightly from the apk file I saved. While the install went without a hitch, it will NOT permit me to sign in to synch the data saved in all my other devices. It just spins as this image shows.

I read a post indicating a direct url for sign in and tried it. But it only worked for Firefox and NOT Nightly.

How do I resolve this?

I've received an email about the change from Firefox account to Mozilla account. But it came to an email address that I removed from my Firefox account months ago, and not to either the primary or the secondary email addresses that are on the account now. How come?

Hello,

I created an account in Firefox with my old e-mail; nyayesh_abdollahi@fripost.org.

However, I have since deleted that e-mail and also forgotten the login password for that Firefox-account; therefore, I can't login to it albeit it exists.

I'm not sure how this works but I do believe the best way to resolve the matter is through the deletion of the aforementioned account.

Kindly, Nyayesh Abdollahi

Good morning - I wanted to set up two-factor authentication with your browser for security reasons. A code comes up that one uses with one's phone. I connected with it, but I couldn't finish setting up the 2FA. Here's the problem: My Samsung Note 20 Ultra has fingerprint scanning on the screen. Since I bought it, I tried using the fingerprint feature, but it is a beast to get my prints scanned and then it can hardly ever scan my print successfully. So I gave up using fingerprints altogether. So I scan your code, and it wants me to do the whole fingerprinting thing with my phone in order to set it up. It doesn't give me the option to use the security that I did choose to use with my phone. Please advise how I can get 2FA without doing all of this. Thanks. Ritva

I'm using Firefox Nightly and the "suggested logins" bar at the bottom is still there, even after I have already logged in to youtube on the website. Actually, it's still on this tab as well, while I am already logged in to Mozilla.

Neither "Ready to scan" nor "Use email instead" will log me into my account in Firefox. When I try to log in, I'm only logged into my account in that one single tab that I used for it, Firefox accounts says it's "Chrome Mobile 84". I'm unable to get Firefox itself to log in to my account at all.
