I am not sure if I have an acct? I have synch firefox with mobile and other computer but cannot sign in here

more options

Setting up my new laptop and smartphone has me inputting user names and passwords all over the place. I thought I set up Firefox with an acct. I know I performed the synch operation successful so I how can I tell if I have an acct setup. I definitely have one now as I had to register to get support. Are there a number of different acct relating to Firefox?

Every Mozilla website or function has it's own login accounts. This support forum, Firefox Sync services, the Add-ons support forum, Bugzilla, etc. I use the same username and password for all of them except Sync, which has a different format, to make it easier, but each one needs to be set each one up separately.

If you already have all that data saved in Firefox on an older PC, it isn't all that hard to get that data into another Firefox desktop installation and then use Sync to "sync" that data with the mobile device. See this support article:
