I have sync on. I have two profiles on one computer. These two profiles are syncing so that there is no difference. They b=now have the same bookmarks, extensions, home page , etc. I don't want that as I effectively now only have one profile. How do I keep 2 profiles from syncing on the same computer.

Same for some saves via my iOS app. Consequently I'm unable to read this content offline. Attached screenshot shows the difference. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Like I suppose any user of older systems (Macs...) that cannot be updated to a newer OS version and thus locked-in to an older Firefox browser I received an email today:

"Don’t stop the sync. Upgrade your Firefox before March 31st."

Why, why, why??

Why would Mozilla take away this last little bit of usefulness after already having abandoned all updates to the browser itself? Why actively "fix" something that ain't broke in a why that does actually break it?

And don't give me the sacrosanctuous security argument please ;) - I never synced sensitive information, not even my browsing history. If security *is* the reason it should be hardly more difficult to disable/disallow just the syncing of that information at the server end. We're clearly speaking at a change on that end anyway, otherwise everyone NOT running the very latest version would be urged to update, not just users of v78 and older.

Anyway, I'm sadly aware of the fact this little rant or even a concerted action isn't likely to change anything, so what options are there? Any suggestions for browser extensions that provide syncing of bookmarks and maybe open tabs or even browser preferences?

Thanks!

PS: I'm posting this from another older system currently still running a Ubuntu 14.04 version that is in fact hardly younger than my Mac's OS but still enjoys Firefox updates...

On signing in to my android and Windows PC firefox browsers with the same accounts, the sync will update browser settings, history, etc. just fine but when it comes to bookmarked webpages in the default bookmarks bar and individual folders and passwords, they will be completely out of "order" -- I'll have both previously deleted bookmarks from my Windows browser pop up on my android browser and vice versa and as for passwords, some of them won't even sync.

Browsers have been re-installed to fix problems and I've even used the QR code to see if that helps. Nothing works.

What's going on?

I thought that if I sync'd firefox on my computer with my new Samsung Tab A7 lite that everything from firefox on the computer including tabs, passwords etc would appear on both the computer and the tablet. Instead, it appears that I deleted everything from the computer, or perhaps moved everything from the computer to the tablet. I'm not sure. How can I tell if everything is on the tablet? Is it possible to move everything back from the tablet to the computer? If so, how? I'm not very computer literate. Guess that's obvious. I'm also older, 77, and visually challenged, so please be patient with me. I'm not even sure where to find this question and any answers people may suggest on this website, so perhaps you could drop me a hint by email at wdentry@yahoo.com? Thanks in advance. Bill

I've been trying to sign in to my Firefox account so I can sync my data since last night. I reinstalled windows as I got a new platform yesterday and didn't want any driver issues. I instead was met with issues getting my primary browser to work after installing it.

I entered 2 different passwords once each and since they didn't work I clicked forgot password. Once I wrote my email in and clicked continue however despite it being the first time I clicked the button I was met with "You've tried too many times. Try again in 29 minutes". It game me that every time I waited out the time and tried again for 3 hours yesterday and it's still giving me that error today after another hour and a half on both my phone and my pc.

Hi, I lost all my passords in firefox trying to sync iphone and Laptop. I had to setup an new iphone (13 Mini) from an ICloud backup. But somehow in the firefox-app under passwords I got all the websites, but no login and password safed. So I deleted all this information on the iphone, since I still got all the data on my laptop. I startet sync, but what happend was, that it somehow synced the other way around and all the Pw an the laptop disappeared. Of course I didn't make a backup before. Any chance to restore these data? At the moment I could restore the data on the Iphone from an Iphone-backup. But now the sync works properly and always deletes the data on the Iphone. Any chance to transfere these data from the Iphone to the laptop apart from wrighting them manually? Kindly Georg

Hello Firefox Community,

I hope you're all doing well! I could be facing a peculiar challenge lately with my Firefox browser, and I'm reaching out for some guidance.

It seems that certain add-ons can cause performance issues—sluggish response times, occasional freezes, and even crashes. Sometimes the problem persists even after disabling them.

Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with Firefox add-ons impacting browser performance? What strategies or tools have you used to troubleshoot and resolve such issues?

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and experiences to enhance my Firefox browsing!

Best, LESCO Bill
