This is a response from one of your technicians (((( its possible that you were not syncing, though you thought you were doing so. its also possible that maybe you sync'd to a different FF account. but who knows. try a test: create a new profile. and once invoke, dont do nothing except a sync. sometimes it can take up to 5 minutes to download. but there should be a spinning wheel to show that syncing is currently be done. go to url and find / use create button: ))))))

Dear, I am a computer maintenance engineer Not the first time I did a factory reset of my computer It is not the first time that I synchronize my data with Firefox But this time I do not know what happened with you, I lost all my data Secret numbers, account numbers and all saved cookies I think I will change the browser to another browser I can no longer trust your synchronization settings And I am not satisfied with this service

I have two laptops and a mobile phone that are connected to Firefox and have sync operating. One the laptops shows a location of Wrexham which is approximately correct. The other shows a location of Boardman, OR, United States, a place some 6000 miles away and of which I have never heard. Googling the location gives me no useful information, other than it is a small town with no special characteristics. A screenshot of part of the Firefox Accounts page illustrates what the situation is.

The laptop stated as in Boardman has a location set within Windows. That is not Wrexhan but is only a few miles from there.

I have used iplocation.net which gives me the location of my ISP, in England.

I sometimes use a VPN (for work) and when being used iplocation.net gives a different English location which I think is the locaton of the ISP for my Employer.

I am unsure what is going on here nor do I know what implications there are for my security. I do not seem to be able to fix this.

Can anyone help, please?

Sup!

So I had to perform an emergency reinstallation of windows on my laptop and silly me only backed up documents and photos and such. I use firefox for a lot of stuff. Got lots of bookmarks and saved passwords on my sync account. And now like many others I'm looking for a way to login to my sync account without having to "reset" it which I've been told deletes all my data for security purposes. I'm fine with that. Happy it's safe. However, there's a possibility that both the sync account along with my registered email's password was used by the password generator which complicates things. I can reset the email password however since it's gmail.

I am aware that my data is encrypted WITH the password I used at account creation. However, just a shot in the dark here anyway and see if there is a way to recover the sync account. Thanks <3

Hi, for some reason, my Firefox account just doesn't want to stay signed in. I had it set up so it would keep being logged in, but it stopped working. I tried everything I could find on the forums and it still doesn't work. The only lead I have is that in the sync screen it says "your browser is being managed by your organization" and I have AVG installed - could that be the problem? I hope not, but don't know what else it could be...

bold textAfter updating to Big Sur, most websites in firefox do not look the same and are hard to read. In gmail, for instance, there is a white box around every title. ANyoen know how to fix this? I restarted, restarted in safe mode, refreshed firefox, I have the latest version--nothing works. By the way, everything looks normal in Safari.

So,when ever i send tabs from my pc to my device i mostly send it through private browsing mode but if i open it from my device it dosent open in private browsing. Am i doing something wrong?

Greetings, I have two computers, a personal computer and a work issued computer. The work computer was replaced the other day and I was able to transfer all my settings using time machines (it's a Mac) but I cannot get Firefox to sync my settings and book marks. I have made certain I am using the same account, I have the latest version of Firefox on both computers, I've pressed the Sync button more than five times but all to no avail. Can you tell me what I missing or doing wrong?

Yours, D.

Downloaded BIG Sur 11.5.2 as new version 2 days ago and much has changed on my MacBook, such as many pages are white (FaceBook) and yahoo mail and format is different with squares drawn around many things. Can't see boxes to click on (mail and FB for example) as all is white. Used black background for a long time and now this hurts my eyes. Can you suggest what I can do or should I wait for the next update? I spent more than an hour on phone with Apple yesterday and it did not help

Thank you,

Neil

Just reinstalled my pc, never used a sync from file I always do it that way.

1. download ff 2. login 3. synced

it fails at step 3, it just doesn't do anything at all, all I can see is my profile picture but nothing else, no bookmarks, no history, no addons, anything

I tried to sync on with my mobile, but there is literally nothing to sync.. I never used a backup file or anything

what should I do to get my addons and bookmarks back?

thanks

How can I do so that all the synchronized things are saved in the browser even without being connected,I mainly ask this question because I live in Cuba and here it is very difficult to always be connected to the internet, although if we are connected to a local network we have friends
