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 would like to know how I can choose the aster PC from which firefox snchronizes on other PCs and what to do, that it does not change direction when i am in vacation with the non-master PC

Choices? I need to understand the App before committing my internet presence. Options to revert to Firefox/Windows, disable features I choose. Otherwise it just GQQle. Sync is already intruding on my preferences.

Recently I started having this issue. Whenever I send a tab from my phone into my computer, instead of a new tab opening in whatever window I was last using, a new private window opens and then loads the tab. At first I was only transferring one or two tabs so I didn't really care at the time, copy and paste the tabs into the old window. But when I need to transfer 10+ tabs? how aobut 40? Now it's an issue since you can't just move them. The tabs in my phone are normal too, not private. I have, of course, found no normal setting in either the desktop or android version of Firefox to control this behavior.

I posted this in the Android section a couple of days ago, but since I've had no responses I thought I should try it here in the hope it'll catch someone's eye. Hope that's acceptable.

Here's my question:

Can I fine-tune sync the way I want?

I would love to be able to sync bookmarks and passwords between two desktops yet sync just the bookmarks to a third device: an Android phone. Why? Because while I want my bookmarks available everywhere, I don't want sensitive passwords on a device that leaves home.

But I don't see a way to do that. I've tried, and I find the passwords end up being synced no matter how I configure the settings.

Nor, apparently, can I export the bookmarks and passwords to a file, strip out the passwords, and import the bookmarks alone to the phone--what I was hoping could be a workaround. I gather one can't import to mobile Firefox. Have to sync.

So I'm back where I started: unable to do what I want to do.

And I missing something? Post a Reply

Hello.

I am trying to send tabs from my mobile Firefox app to my laptop firefox browser. When I woke up this morning. I tried to send tabs to my laptop and they all opened up in the private browser. Is there a setting I can change that when I share tabs from my phone to my computer it opens in the regular firefox browser?

When I an issue where sending a tab from my android phone to a windows desktop opens the tab in a private window. This did not used to happen, and as far as I am aware I did not change any settings for this to happen. How do I stop this from happening?
