Firefox: форум сообщества

I have bought a new laptop and I want to synchronize data from old one to new one. Unfortunately, the old laptop is off and I cannot use it. Instead, I have also the mobile android chrome which I can use. Please advise.

Hi! I bought a second MacBook, but cannot find any accurate instructions for adding it as one of my devices.

On the MacBook, I get the QR code page, but nowhere in the phone is the supposed "Sync" page to scan that code. I literally looked in every single area that I could. These are the instructions:

Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code

There is "Sync now," but that is only syncing to the old laptop.

I logged out and back in on the new MacBook, and now it shows in Firefox on it and my iPhone (Connected Services), but now the old MacBook is no longer in the device list on either the new one or the phone.

It would be so much easier to just have an obvious "Add a device" button.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

How can I get my bookmarks from all devices shared by all devices? I have changed phones and even clicking the sync button I still have none of bookbook marks available from my previous devices How do I retrieve my bookmarks

Hi I have used two computers for different purposes and places, but have had the same account with passwords synchronized on both machines. I would like to synchronize everything - especially bookmarks and payment methods - on the machines. My question is: what happens if I 'just' set synchronization active in all sections on both machines? Is one of the machines considered the 'master' machine, so its 'content' is synchronized to the other, so that content that was not on the 'master' machine is deleted? Or is everything preserved, so I have all content from both machines on both machines? Where can I possibly find more detailed information about this? Thanks in advance.

I would like to know how to get an "app password" for Firefox so that I can sync Outlook with Firefox. I received an error msg that said I needed to get an app password from Firefox in order to sign in to Outlook to complete the sync process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support,

I am seeking clarification and assistance regarding saved login details that appear in my Firefox browser, both on my laptop.

The situation is as follows:

At some point in the past, I mus thave attempted to access the Plenty of Fish (POF) dating site via the app on my iPhone. Alhtough not presently active, my iCloud account shows a history of the app being downloaded, and stored in the cloud.

I do not recall ever completing an account setup or using the service, but when I check Firefox on my laptop, I can see a username and password saved under Privacy & Security settings for POF.

I am trying to understand whether these saved credentials could have been synced between my iPhone and my laptop at the time of the attempted registration, meaning that they were stored automatically even if I did not intentionally log in on my laptop.

My specific questions are:

Do the Firefox saved logins on my laptop and my iPhone interlink automatically if Firefox Sync is enabled? (i.e., would login data entered on my phone app/browser be stored in the Firefox passwords list on my laptop?)

Is it possible to determine whether the saved username/password for POF was stored via the iPhone app/browser rather than being typed directly on the laptop?

I belive that if login attempts fail due to a non-existent or corrupted username/password, Firefox still store the login attempt details (username and password) even if the login itself did not succeed, can you confirm this? Is there a way of telling which it was failed/sucessful

This is a sensitive and personal matter, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and any clarification on how Firefox may have stored or synced these details.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards, A

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!

(This is copied nearly directly from a post on r/firefox made a few hours ago—I decided it was best to spread it here for more exposure. The only change was the removal of the add-on names from the title due to character limits; these are Form History Control and Text Area Cache.)

I hope the title explains what I am looking for well. My main computer has had... spooky behavior with its file system recently, and I have been recommended to make a back-up, format my drive, and re-install my operating system (possibly upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 in the process). The biggest hold-up to me doing so is this, as I have no idea how to transfer the extension data between installs, or convert it into a human-readable form. The sheer number of writing drafts in those extensions both make losing them an unacceptable situation and copying the data manually into a document entirely impractical. So, can anyone help me with this? For context, I was on Firefox 138.0 when I stopped using my main computer due to those issues. (Note: It will certainly last long enough to do the Firefox Syncing and other back-up operations, just not for many more weeks or months.)

When I went to type something it spelled out 123sexdate.com why me and my fiance uses the same email would that have something to do with it also what app or link is that even on

Recently I had un/reinstalled my firefox via snap and apt from linux. I'm signed into my account yet locally I'm not getting data to sync across devices. Any idea?
