Firefox Support Forum

Hi, lots of good support to how to sync. No support for how to view synced tabs on an iMac. I can see the synced tabs and open them on my iPad and iPhone. Thanks for your assistance.

I do not see the sync option in the drop down menu, also i do not see a way to sign in from within Firefox i had to go to he website to do it, please advise. thanks jorge

Hi,

first of all thank you all in the community for your amazing work on Firefox!

I have cloned my $HOME (including ./.mozilla/firefox/) to another Linux device.

Now I realize that changing the Firefox Sync device name on the new device would also change it for the other device when checking "Connected Services" https://accounts.firefox.com/settings. I also can only see the new device name when using "Send to device" from any device.

I guess I have to unlink my new device and somehow assign it a new device ID for Firefox Sync to recognize the new device. How can I do that?

Looks like there's no available data.... I want to be able to import the data I used on July 2021 but it is nowhere to be found... How can I get a hold of an old version of my data?

Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to sync my Firefox account with a new laptop. Unfortunately, I am asked to verify a code sent to my e-mail, but my e-mail password is stored in my Firefox account so I can't open it. I am unable to access my e-mail any other way at the moment. Please contact me ASAP with a way to unlock my account so I can get my passwords. My regular account e-mail is [email-removed].

Hi,

I don't know how but it seems I lost all my account related data. I connected my account to my new computer but I don't have anything: no history, no apps, no password. Is there anything i can do? I have the hard disk of the old computer, can I restore the data from it?

Thank you

Before Sunday FIrefox would sync your bookmarks, passwords and everything you had before. They turned it off and told NO ONE. Google Chrome will has sync that puts in your bookmarks, passwords and everything. TURN IT BACK ON. PEOPLE CAN SYNC BOTH THEIR COMPUTER AND THEIR PHONE!

Hi there,

I've been using firefox as my main browser and I've created a account and using it all the time for syncing the settings, bookmarks, logins, extensions etc.

BUT due to some unwanted (really irritating) search suggestion were being shown to me by firefox, I had to uninstall firefox from my system.

• • Throughout the process, I'd kept syncing ON always!!

But when I installed firefox again and after loggedin, I'm syncing everything but this is restoring (syncing) very old data which doesn't have my latest bookmarks, extenstions & saved logins!!

How DO I get my all data???

URGENT PLEASE!! THANK YOU

• • Note : I'm using default "Firefox-ESR" in Kali linux 2022

Your sync does not work. NO I DID NOT CLICK ON USE MY PHONE. Your site is sitting there doing nothing with it saying click to install on other devices. It is stupid your system is really bad

I have a FF account and I am signed in on my desktop. I just changed a whole lot of passwords. I want my Android phones to have the same passwords, but I am afraid of syncing the wrong way, if you know what I mean.

So, I want my ANDROID PHONE'S FF BROWSER to get the NEW PASSWORDS from my DESKTOP'S FF ACCOUNT'S BROWSERS.

How do I handle this? Also, I am NOT TECHIE AT ALL.

I added an image, and as you can see, I had to do some work on my desktop requiring setting up W11 several times. And it looks like FF is logged into past versions of my desktop.

Hi All

I have my account set up on the original laptop. I have just opened my new laptop and logged in to firefox. I have set to sync including passwords and logins. I can see both open Firefox accounts on my laptops simultaneously. They are the same account and they have been synced repeatedly. However my passwords and logins are not appearing on the new laptop. They only show on the old laptop. Why?

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening to whoever is reading this,

Yesterday in the early hours of the morning my Firefox updated, and after it restarted following this I lost my session - I have tried to restore my previous session, and sync to the previous session, but both have been unsuccessful. How can I restore that session?

Synchronise options show two sessions - image attached - the new session (red) following the reboot, and the old session (green) that I want to go back to, how can I do this?

I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thank you very much.

Best regards, Sarah

Firefox was crashing, installed update under "about firefox". Launched and error said: Needs newer version of operating system. What to do? Have followed all the help articles and it does not see my previous profile only the new profile shows.

1. i have firefox on my pc, now i installed it on my laptop 2. synced to my account on laptop 3. the internet went out halfway through the syncing process (only 3 addons or so installed and then it got stuck) so i closed my laptop and forgot about it 4. i opened firefox on my PC and the account synced 5. the addon bar flashed and all the addons except for 3 are now deleted (they are NOT disabled, they are completely gone from the addons page)

I don't remember the name of every addon i had installed but I need them back.

Hi, Firefox sync not work with changed useragent. I have changed useragent in (about:config): general.useragent.override Our company identify and block Firefox globaly in proxy servers. Why? I don't know (maybee dificult globaly Firefox updating for non admin user).

I open Firefox sync and try login there, but I see only progress (wheel).
