I like the idea of Firefox, so I wanted to migrate my passwords to your service

During the migration, I repeatedly ran into the problem that when using "Search Firefox" to log into accounts on other devices, even after a rough synchronization in Firefox itself, the saved passwords that can be viewed in Passwords in PC do not immediately appear in the pop-up window in Android smartphone, which logically should not have such problems

In my opinion, this will discourage almost all users who want to "move out" of Google services

I've just gone through having to reinstall windows due to 24H2 and I've got Firefox back thankfully.

My problem is that the sync account has created another device name (as I hadn't restarted after renaming the computer).

Can I get my old device profile back and discard the new one?

Can I just uninstall firefox then reinstall now the computer has been renamed after a restart?

With thanks, Dave

The welcome addition of Tab Groups I just noticed on updating my Firefox, however looking through help and documentation, it's not clear to me if Tab Groups syncrhonise across devices (or at least desktop devices) as like recently added to Chrome. Wished to check if this is case

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!
