Manually copied profile to new computer, Sync thinks it's still the same PC. Can it give problems?

Hello, i've copied my profle from the old PC (windows 7 ) to the new one (Windows 10) manually, by pasting all the profile folder content in the new profile on the new PC. I've done it manually because: 1) i wanted a complete backup on 2 devices and 2) because Sync fails to sync some password for some reason.
Everything is fine, but under Sync » Check Devices, i still see the old PC listed as "In Use". This doesn't seem to create much problems, but i fear it could create some unintended behaviour as time passes.
Do you have any suggestions? Is there something i can safely ignore? Is there a better way to create a manually profile backup, and still have sync recognize 2 different PCs?
Thank you very much.

Can Firefox Sync "Top Sites" accross devices?
Simply: Have Firefox (optionally) also sync the Top Sites.

All of my saved logins are gone without a trace from all of my devices. I haven't added any new device and haven't changed sync settings recently, haven't even added any new plugins. They were all present a day or two ago and I noticed something was wrong when firefox stopped autofilling the login data. is there a way to check what's going on and what caused this? and also how to I get them back?

I just switched over to Firefox from Chrome about a month or two ago across all of my devices. I have them all synced to the same account so that I can easily move between devices (desktop, Android phone, iPad). However, my desktop frequently signs me out of Firefox sync and makes me sign back in. When I do so, all of my UI modifications and some of my settings are reset and I need to reapply them. It's getting pretty annoying. I've looked at some other threads (like this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1227940) but it did not solve my problem. Any ideas?

I recently installed Firefox on a fresh OS install. Tried to login to sync using the wrong password. After figuring out the right one, i got the following error: The confirmation email we sent to remailer1@yahoo.de was returned and we’ve locked your account to protect your Firefox data.
I have waited a few days after that (I figured Mozilla's email server might be broken) and retried, still no luck.
The email address is definitely valid

Starting within the past week, Firefox logs me out of Sync whenever I close it (and possibly also randomly when I don't log out).
My bookmarks and passwords are still present but I can't, for example, send/receive shared pages from other devices. "Send to another device" appears to work but doesn't actually send until I open the menu and "click here to sign in" (or whatever), then it *instantly* signs in.
I've never used a master password, and Privacy options are set to "Remember History". A couple times recently it's suddenly "forgotten" my device name, so my laptop shows up 4 or 5 times on other devices. I only recently was forced to switch to "stupid Windows 10" which is painful with only 2gb RAM, but I assume that's not related...
In "about:sync-log" there are plenty of "error-sync" log files (I'm not sure whether this is normal, or if there should be zero?)
Here my sync-errror file from today alone: https://pastebin.com/gsUb85tU -- ( potentially identifying data has been {**deleted**}. )

This involves Firefox on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. I have been using Firefox on my MacBook since 2012, and been syncing to my Android phones since 2015-ish (a Huawei, then Samsung, then another Samsung, replacing them as they broke). I never had any problems. I can't remember if I was able to access already synced bookmarks from broken phones, but since I move my mobile bookmarks into desktop bookmark folders pretty often, I was never bothered enough to check. Last October, my MacBook's logic board broke. Not long after, my phone broke. I got a secondhand iPhone, and signed into sync, but nothing synced up. I assume because my devices are already dead and no longer syncing? Is there anyway for me to access my laptop bookmarks? I still have the hard drive from the MacBook.
I finally have access to a computer again, this time a Windows desktop, and logged in to my Firefox sync to see if I could find any of my disappeared bookmarks. Nope, but something weird happened. I have about 200 bookmarks on my iPhone, and the first 139 migrated to the desktop. They show up under the 'Mobile Bookmarks' folder on the desktop, but I can no longer see them on my iPhone. The most recent 20 or so bookmarks are still available on my iPhone, but don't appear on the desktop. What just happened?
While going through all the help pages, I discovered that I do have a second Firefox profile, though I opened it up and there isn't anything on it. Not sure if that matters.
Thank you!

I lost access to my two-factor authentication app and therefore could not get into my account. I have created a new account using a different email address but I would like to use the email address (which I still have access to) associated with that account. As long as the old account exists I cannot associate that email with my new account. I cannot find any way to contact Mozilla to ask them to delete the old account (and free up that email address). Will it just get deleted eventually if I don't log into it anymore? Is there someone I can contact to close that old account? Thanks

My laptop died last fall. How can I bring those tabs over to this laptop I am now using? I looked under apps and devices and I see my other laptop listed and last synced 7 months ago. But it's unclickable unless I want to click disconnect. I seem to remember aeons ago when you used to be able to see your tabs from all of your other laptops and desktops. Can't we do this now?

I want to disable that Feature, I change PCs a lot and installs Firefox on them every time so i don't want to confirm my account on my mail every time i change PC, all i want is to sign in and sync to my Firefox account on any PC without the need to confirm my account by mail every time, maybe a notice mail will be just fine that someone logged into my account and if i find that PC suspicions i can log him out with a link and change password that's it
note: i dont want to say this by i am using chrome right not ONLY for that feature, that i can sync (bookmarks, passwords, etc..) without the need to confirm my account with mail every time i login
