I recently switched to a new laptop and signed in to Firefox Sync. Bookmarks and passwords restored fine, but tabs didn’t reopen. I had important pages saved from sites like medithrivehub.com for product research, and I really need them back.

Is there a way to recover synced tabs that didn’t show up automatically? Any help would be appreciated.

I have Firefox on 4 separate devices (Windows 10, Windows 11, Linux Ubuntu derivative x 2).

For the last 2 weeks, every time I open Firefox, the recommended stories are active. I go into settings, turn off the setting and it behaves correctly for that session. However, when I open Firefox on a different device, or the next time, recommended stories are showing once again. I like and want a clean, minimalist interface, and expect Firefox to honour my settings.

Thank you.

I have Firefox on my desktop and my laptop (and my phone). I just spent hours on the laptop updating new passwords, deleting duplicates and entries that were not relevant. Went from over 500 to 471 entries. Feeling good! Today I did work on the desktop and noticed the desktop password list had not sync'd to the laptop, and had 493 entries, all of which had the old/original passwords. Feeling a little suspicious about that the account had not sync'd. I had to log into and reset the password for my business email (which I had not changed the password for previously). When I updated that in the password list on my desktop, I had a moment of dread thinking that might be a problem, having updated each different computer's password list without a proper sync. Well, I went right down to my laptop and my worst fear was confirmed. All the updating I had done the prior week was overwritten by the desktop (old) password list. All of the old duplicate entries and irrelevant accounts are back.

Apparently the sync only is working in one direction??? Is there a solution to this please????

My Windows PC laptop has stopped syncing bookmarks from my android phone, even though I set them up to sync with each other. The syncing suggestions under Firefox support for syncing do not match with the options on my laptop or android phone.

Hello, I had checked the option to open all previous tabs at every startup of firefox. Then I logged in to my account, which evidently had in the previous settings of the previous browser that option disabled. Guess which configuration held the priority to impose itself. Why the old one of course. So I lost most (why not all? I can't tell) of my tabs. The recovered ones were recovered through ctrl+shift+t. Thank you.
