The android UI was updated in recent Firefox updates and it is now impossible to enable sync from an Android phone due to this change.
According to Firefox during setup the proper steps are:
1. Open firefox on your mobile device.
2. Go to the menu and tap "Sign In"
3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code.
The new android UI does not have one universal menu. Instead it includes a list that lets me:
- Bookmark a Page
- Find in Page
- Turn on Desktop Mode
- manage Extensions
- "More"
It also features:
- My Name for managing and backup/sync
- Settings
I'll enumerate the issues with this.
If I select More. This is different than the more settings options under "Settings". It allows me to:
- Translate the Page
- Add to Shortcuts
- Add to Home Screeen
- Save to Collection
- Open in App
- Save to PDF
- Print
All of these are irrelevant.
If I select my Account, the most obvious of these ambiguous choices. I can:
- Manage Account
- Sync Now
- Change the Device Name
- Sign Out
- Choose what to sync.
There is NO option here to scan a QR code. Manage Account leaves the app and opens a mozilla account webpage. None of these options work.
If I select "Settings" I receive a large list of useless options - none of which allow me to scan a QR code.
Since scanning the QR code is the ONLY way to enable syncing via the mobile app am I understanding correctly that Firefox has removed this feature and is mistakenly still advertising a deprecated feature inside their MacOS app which prevents me from actually ever signing in to my account.
If this is intended to still be a feature. How do I do it? The instructions are unclear and your UI does not help in any way to figure out how to navigate to the correct place where I might possibly be able to move forward in any manageable way.
