Hello dear Firefox community,

I'd like to sync my Firefox of my Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.1. The only option available for me in the sync menu is to scan a QR-code which does not work in dual boot system. Do you have any ideas what to do? Thank you very much already! -Jo

I don't think the QR code is mandatory for desktop systems.

On whichever Firefox isn't connected to the account, try signing in from the menu (main menu button > Sign in to Firefox). I believe there will be an email verification message generated to your primary email account for the initial setup, and that may involve either a code or a long link.

There is no need to use a QR code. All you need to do is to connect to the same Firefox account.

Hey cor-el, hey jscher2000,

thanks a lot for answering my question. Apparently it just took some time for Firefox to synchronize with synch now after connect the different apps to the same account.
