Hi, Start up the old PC and the New add the New and transfer it. By the sounds of it : It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of these article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.

Hi, you needed to connect your old PC 1st then the new one and transfer to after you have created a spot for it up there.

Sync puts a token on your PC, without the token your not going to be able to do anything.

So it is essentially Pc to Pc or Pc to Mobile ++++ It all starts and ends with the 1st one.

Thanks for the info. Next time I hope I am luckier. Four days ago I connected with my old PC and synched, but then my old PC died. Now I can no longer connect with it. When I connect with the new PC I see them both under "Devices & apps" but cannot do anything else. I imagine that I have loft all my bookmarks and tabs so I´ll start over. Never mind. ;( It might have been better if Synch worked in a way that one could "upload" the bookmarks and tabs under a Device name, then on any connected machine select "download" to receive them back again. That´s how my Palm Agenda works with its own HotSynch. I change upload or download to/from the agenda or desktop as I like. It´s great as I have 3 old Palm M515s, one in use as the active agenda, and 2 as backups that I synch every 3 months.

Sorry about that. It is not made for syncing 1 computer but to transfer between them. But there are others to choose from : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=sync
