My work is trying to fire me because they say Firefox was mirroring my activity at home and vice versa. I.E If I opened a tab at home it when then open a tab and attempt to connect to same website on my work computer in the office.

I’m fairly certain it doesn’t cause that would be wildly unnecessary for what sync tabs is trying to accomplish but I used wireshark to watch for outgoing connections on my home desktop and opened a tab on my phone and my personal laptop and wireshark never detected outgoing connections to the tabs on other devices

Using OSX 12.7.5 on two laptops and a Mac Pro. Selling one of the laptops. Removed personal data for Firefox by 'trashing' the Firefox folder in Libaray/Application support. Then disscovered that the 'Privacy/Security' folder in both the laptop and Mac Pro were now empty. Nothing else affected. Went into TimeMachine and restored the entire Firefox folder from a recent backup. Privacy/Security folder not restored. Anyone have any ideas?

I updated my password but now when I go to sign in (since an updated password signs out on all accounts) it won't stay signed in ever on my laptop. I input the password, then the email confirmation, then the authentication, and it says I'm signed in but when I go to my account is disconnected again. I've tried many times. I've also cleared the cookies and cache. Any advice?

Recently I reinstalled my Windows 11 system, and even though I synced my Firefox account before reinstalling the system, there are no passwords, settings and extensions, which should be synced.

I searched for the same problem, but all I could find was searching for profile files in C:\Windows.old

The issue is I do not have Windows.old folder or anything like that.

Is there any way to recover at least my passwords?

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi there,

Earlier today I had to do a complete software reset on my MacBook Pro (running Sonoma 14.5). Prior to the reset, I had been running the newest version of Firefox and was signed in; I assumed that Sync was on and that it was storing my passwords and bookmarks.

After the system reset, I re-installed Firefox and signed in again, but none of my passwords or bookmarks are showing up. However, under connected services, I still see the old (pre-reset) name of my MacBook Pro, in addition to the MacBook Pro's current name.

Is it possible to retrieve my pre-reset passwords and bookmarks?

I mistakenly removed an important extension (LinkLocker, which I wrote, actually) from my synced work computer, not realizing it would be removed from my home laptop as well.

Unfortunately, I saved a significant amount of data in that extension's storage and, after reinstalling it, can't seem to recover it.

Is this data lost forever or is there some place I can look to find it?

Please help an old dummie? I have an existing FF install on a laptop. I would like to clone it (with bookmarks, settings tiles etc) onto a new PC. An article I read said open FF on the PC you want to sync. This is confusing! "Synchronising" is ambiguous, meaning 2-way. (but which way) "copy from" & "copy to" would be clear. I am worried I will synch(copy) from the new to the old....... effectively deleting/wiping out all my preferences in my original install. OR (preferably) Is there a way to just copy the whole installation from my original PC onto a USB stick & installing FF to the new PC from it? Many Thanks
