Since Mozilla no longer supports Lockwise, I am trying to sync my iPhone to my laptop to get all my passwords. INstructions tell me "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code" First of all, this choice does not exist in the iPhone Firefox menu. If I go into "Settings" and press "Sync now" none of my passwords show up within Firefox. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,

I accidentally deleted my Firefox account on my Windows laptop and lost all my data. However, my Samsung S24 still shows my data, although it indicates that the last sync was on March 6. How can I sync my laptop with my mobile phone to recover the data from my phone? When I click "Sync Now" on my phone, nothing happens. Thank you.

Before today sync was working fine.

My passwords are saved to my android phone, and home PC but I am trying to get them into my work PC and they will not show up. I had a master password turned on briefly but it was not functioning how I wanted it (enter the master password before it would put any of the other passwords in instead of once on start up). Now I turned the master password off, sync is turned on for both the android browser and the work pc, the phone has the passwords but the pc does not.

Thank you for your help.

Hi guys, I have been using Firefox for a long time and most of the time, I use local backup, I have saved my bookmarks on my extended hard drive but about a year ago, I found out that Firefox has a "sync" feature and it's really great. I turned on the auto-sync of bookmarks and it work but this time, I reset Windows and I was really sure that I was syncing and I checked, I opened the Profile menu, clicked "Sync Now" and waited until the rolling logo stopped. After I reinstalled windows and reinstalled firefox, logged in but I don't see the backup bookmarks like before, I tried searching but couldn't find anything, just like a new firefox and new profile. Is there a way to find the lasted bookmarks I have synced? I often have thousands of tabs open so I have used this feature before but this is the first time Firefox hasn't shown my synced bookmarks.

Hi,

I recently recovered my Lenovo laptop and when I sign in my Mozilla account again, nothing happens - no bookmarks, passwords, history etc. are imported. I'm not sure if it's important to mention, but I had to recover my password, in order to sign in after the recovery of my laptop.

When I look at the history of my account, it looks as if it starts on the day I recovered my laptop. I am, however, pretty sure that I use the right sign-in e-mail address.

Is there any way I (or someone from the Mozilla support?) could search with my IP address or the name of my device to find out in which account any history appears prior to the day of my recovery?

Any help would be very much appreciated as I have lost a very big amount of data...

Thank you in advance!

Best, Paris
