Firefox for Android Community Forum

I signed in to my account on a new PC and it asked something about if I have mobile phone and I said yes so it gave me a pop-up wit the following text: "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device 2. Go to the menu and tap Sign in 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code" And I get stuck on step 2 I can't find a Sign In button, attached an image of what clicking the menu (...) button shows. So how exactly do I tell firefox that I want to sync between this machine and my mobile? I do have it working nicely with my laptop but I don't remember how exactly did I sync that, I kind of assumed just signing into the account would be enough enough but based on this pop-up it isn't.

Since the last update to version 148.0 on Android, it's no longer possible to send tabs between devices (reliably). When I try to send a tab from my android phone to my laptop, it says that it's unable to send. However, after a while it appears on my laptop anyways after a long delay, but not always. It works in the other direction, but the checkmark that usually appears does not show up, and there's also a time delay, but not as severe as in the other direction.

I've been using Firefox on Android for a couple of years. I love the way it collapses open tabs that have not been accessed for a while. I had maybe 40 of them that I refer back to from time to time.

Last night I opened Firefox to look something up and I had zero open tabs. I did nothing, nothing crashed, no error messages, no upgrades (that I'm aware of), nothing - just two years of collected reference material gone.

I use my Mozilla account to sync to my desktop browser (version 147.0.4 on Debian 13.3) and they're gone from there too.

Is there any chance I can get them back?

Version 147.0.4 from the Google Play Store on a Pixel 8 Pro with stock Android 16 and the January 5, 2026 security update.
