Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I understand that saved passwords in Firefox desktop sync with my Mozilla account. However, I’d like them to also sync with my Google account so I can access them across different browsers. This would allow me to retrieve my passwords on any browser, on any device, even when I’m away from my PC.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks.

Strange glitch has been occurring with my phone and laptop. I pull up synced tabs on my phone to see what's open on my laptop, it appears normally. However, when I open synced tabs on my laptop to see what open on my phone, I get tabs that haven't been open and were closed days to a week ago. And now, it displays two different sets of synced tabs (as seen below). It's a strange quirk I'm not confident how to fix. Any ideas?

Using tab groups, how to sync those groups across device, like bookmarks are synced ? Currently, I have several groups defined in my account, but they are not synced on my professional PC.

Recently, i had to use a public pc in my workplace for a while. i used Firefox to access the internet, and for practical reason, i signed in my Firefox account. After i was done, i made sure i have signed out my Firefox account before leaving. The next day, when i used Firefox again on that pc, i noticed that all my saved passwords (from syncing my Firefox account) were still in that Firefox browser, even though i haven't signed in my Firefox account. Now i feel like i am at the mercy of fate because anybody who used that pc after me yesterday could have gained access to all my passwords. So far, nothing bad happens and i hope it stays that way.

I don't know if anyone has brought this up. Since Firefox does not erase any saved password after a user signs out, I think Firefox should, or rather, MUST give a warning message after a user signs out of Firefox to manually erase any saved password on Firefox, so that any stupid user like me will not make that stupid mistake so easily.

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?

Trying to get same layout on new computer through syncing. I seem to be able to find my old bookmarks, but not with a simple click as before. Cant even find how to set homwpage on new computer

Dear Support,

I have two laptops - both identical accounts signed in and would like to sync them so that when I open Firefox on laptop 2 it will show me Firefox on laptop 1. and if laptop 2 was last used, then when open laptop 1, it shows me Firefox on laptop 2.

currently it is separate and unique instances.

how do i automate the sync?

thanks, Nicholas

I want move tabs and bookmarks from an older Mac to and newer Mac. Sync seems to only allow an iOS destination. Is there a way to use it between Firefox on two laptops?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?

Hi, I'd like to know how to transfer all my Zen info (including passwords, workspace, history, tabs,... everything), from a previous version or from a mac to another?

Thanks. Joel

How do I sign out of FF on my Iphone? When I attempt to log out of either the computer or the phone it stops sync. I want to be able to use firefox on the phone without having the computer on???!!!

I've got Firefox on three devices and I'm looking to get a little more fine grained control between the synced data.

Ideally I want to sync passwords between all three but only sync bookmarks between two of them. This doesn't seem to be possible with the current options. Is there an alternative short of manually exporting and importing on the devices I want to keep in step?
