Firefox Backup is currently available to users on Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux. Not Mac

I’m using windows 11 and macOS Tahoe . The back up feature works in windows as advertised. When I came to the mac I searched in vain for the settings. I asked the AI chat bot were the settings are. There are none. I note on your web page you don’t support the mac and provide no information when this new feature will be available. This is a setback I strongly feel you should offer all features across all platforms. The browser marked is competitive and Firefox needs all the features to make Firefox stand out from all the others.

Hello,

I accidentally disliked a thought-provoking story which involved the couple who died in the Lisbon funicular crash (as of Saturday 6th September 2025), which I think was addressed by The Independent.

Is it possible to reverse the dislike? The story does not seem to appear again, at least from what I have seen. Although the dislike was accidental, I felt that having the story disliked would indicate I would not be interested in thought-provoking stories about those who have died, even though these stories should be important to show.

I rebooted and launched FF, I was asked if I wanted to Refresh. Naturally I declined because I'm not an idiot. Now all my addons and passwords are gone. I would love to have them back since I never asked for them to be deleted. I don't have an "Old Firefox Data" or whatever folder on my desktop, would have been cool for them to leave that there when they clobbered years of data and customization because Firefox thinks they should have more control over my PC than I do, but they didn't. Is there any way to get these back?

I want to synch the bookmarks on my new Android phone to those on my old Android phone. Whenever I try to use this facility it seems to synch with my desktop, which I don't want. What am I doing wrong, please?

Thanks, Phil

sorry - looks like my WiFi connection to the desktop was kicking in rather than pairing with the second phone. No need to respond to this query but I am not sure how to close it.

Hi- I'm trying to setup two step in Microsoft Authenticator. I scan in the QR code from the Mozilla settings and that appears to work. However when I copy the generated code from the app and try to enter it back into the settings in my browser it tells me the code is wrong and thus I can't setup two step. I've tried loads of different authenticator apps and none seem to work. Can you help please? Thanks- Adrian.
