Dear Sir/Madam,

Sync feature is not working at all, I signed my account on different PCs to have my history synced across all devices but it is like for nothing, every time I log my account into a new PC to have the search history of the last device nothing gets synced, I wait like for an eternity and nothing there, restart and nothing works.

Stop with the codes since I am logged in on both devices. Used Firefox for years and years. You are about to lose a loyal client I think I've put in codes/ passwords in 4 different places just to sync my laptop and phone.

I am trying to sync my account from my Mac to my phone but it's asking for the code from my authenticator. I do not have Mozilla set up in my authenticator. How do I get the scan?

Why is it when I'm not signed in to my Firefox accounts on both my laptop computers or syncing is turned off, do my Icons change from say Facebook icon to world Globe Icon (Default).

Computer 1 has Facebook Icon(Water Landscape) Computer 2 has the World Globe for Facebook Icon. (M&M Candy)

When I delete World Globe Icon on #2 and replace it with Facebook Icon, it switches my Icon on #1 to the World Globe Icon. Also, it changes the alignment of my Icons on my desktop as well, rearranges them, put it in a different spots. This has never happened before for over 8 years, now all of a sudden, here we go and I am not sure how to stop this.

A colleague of mine had Firefox logged in with a Mozilla account, before their computer needed to be reset, we checked and Firefox said Synchronisation was on and last succeeded 1 second ago. We proceeded to undertake the reset, but after logging back into the same Mozilla account, none of the bookmarks returned, nor did any saved addresses, passwords or browser history.

I was wondering if there is absolutely anything that we can do, or whether someone at Mozilla are able to check the account just in case?

I'm fearing the worst, and partially expecting it, but wanted to log here for sanity's sake, just in case.

Many thanks Ben

Hello, I've been using the browser on my PC for a long time and I liked it. But I went into the browser from my laptop and everything was deleted from the PC; restoring it using backup folders did not help. The question is, why should I now suffer because for some reason all my tabs have been deleted?????

After Firefox upgraded to the latest version, Google no longer opens up, bookmarked websites no longer have my username, password, or login account info, and do not recognize my account. Syncing caused all kinds of problems. I'm not happy with Firefox anymore and wish to remove it from my laptop . How do I do this? Sorry...I was once a happy camper. Barbara

I have toolbar bookmarks on PC with windows 11, firefox 155.0 (64-bit). and I have android phone, Samsung S26 Ultra with firefox, logged in with the same user. However, on mobile I could see a synced bookmarks which are removed long back from the desktop. I have tried to clear cache and data and re-login on mobile device firefox, still it shows the old bookmarks which were existing few weeks back. please advise

Hello,

1. sync
2. widgets

Unfortunately, not all settings are synchronised when I sync my settings through my connected Firefox/Mozilla account.

For example, the following `about:config` preference is not saved:

`browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.system.enabled = true`

In addition, several settings from the regular Settings menu are not synchronised either, including:

- Start page settings - The custom ordering of search engines under **Search** - The option to NOT save payment methods & addresses - The option to NOT automatically trust installed certificates - secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) activated with provider & fallback behaviour set

This is frustrating because I have to go through all the settings again after syncing. In some cases, the behaviour also seems inconsistent—for example, the checkbox for automatically trusting installed certificates does not always retain its selected state (sometimes it is unchecked[desired] and on other occasions it is checked).

Could you please investigate whether these settings are intended to be synchronised and, if so, why they are not being saved?

A reliable sync feature should reproduce the desired configuration consistently, including all stable settings—or, at a minimum, clearly document which settings are excluded from synchronisation.

Best wishes, RaphiQ

I synced the wrong Firefox profile to mY Mozilla account. I hence deleted the account to get a reset. But now I can't sync any more, because I get the message: your profile was previously synced to a different account, create a new profile. How can I activate sync again?

Up until today, when I opened Firefox browser on my Mac I would already be signed in. Today I’ve had to sign in using Passkey AND password each and every time I open the browser. Also, all my saved passwords have disappeared from the Mac OS browser. They seem to be intact on my iPhone app, but even after a couple of “Sync”s, I still have neither passwords nor autofill working on my Mac. Is there a temporary glitch in the system today, or are there steps I need to fix this? Thanks

Firefox sync is synchronizing; most notably, my passwords are not available. I am repeatedly asked to sign in; even after successfully signing in, I am immediately prompted again for my password and 2FA. After logging in (even if prompted to do so again) Firefox reports that it is syncing correctly, but password auto-fills are unavailable, and about:logins shows no entries, as is this were a fresh install. On restarting Firefox, I am once again logged out of Sync and need to log in yet again.

This is not affecting my mobile device; only my desktops and laptop.

I first noticed the problem about two days ago. Since then, I have tried the following suggested fixes, to no avail:

• Restarting Firefox
• Restarting my computers
• Restarting in safe mode
• Creating a new profile
• Resetting my password
• Logging out of all devices and logging back in

I would welcome suggestions on how else I might address this. Thanks, Kestrel

I have been trying to sync my phone and laptop. Every time I try it only shows my laptop under "my devices" even though I have logged out and logged back in on my phone through the qr code. I am not sure what to do.

TLDR - I have two profiles set up, but they don't sync across devices.

I have Firefox on my main computer and recently got a second computer. When I downloaded and signed into Firefox on the second computer I created a new profile so I could have different bookmarks, settings, etc. At some point I got signed out of Firefox on the second computer. When I signed back in, it didn't show any profiles - just my usual default settings. On the main computer it still shows two profiles, including the one I set up on the second computer. I have tried signing out and back in on both computers, and manually syncing data. The main computer still shows two profiles, the second computer still shows zero profiles (but has my Firefox settings/bookmarks saved as default).
