Moving from Windows to Linux and in the process moving from Chrome to Firefox. In Linux, there seems to be an issue where Firefox isn't recognizing that I have installed Chrome. No problem, I went into Windows to do the move instead. But since the data isn't saved and you have to have an instance of Firefox running (?) to actually sync, I decided to download Firefox on my iPhone, get my passwords from Chrome, then sync to my iPhone, boot back to Linux, then sync on Linux with the data on my iPhone, and somehow in the process locked myself out of logging into Firefox on my iPhone due to how many times I've had to log in to Firefox to figure out this convoluted and broken process. People are wanting to switch to Firefox due to ad blocking support, and this is a massive barrier to entry. Can we just fix importing from a csv file?

I have logins enabled to be synchronized on my account but they do not synchronize. I've removed and re-added devices. I've made sure both are on the same account. Both computers have the most up-to-date version of Firefox. One has 14 logins the other has 448.

Hi All,

I got my new laptop today and lost all of my bookmarks/setting/logins which were saved in Firefox Sync. Literally after logging in the new Firefox I installed nothing got restored. Is there a way to restore all this information in Firefox Sync? I desperately need them as it's related to my work. Thanks for any help Folks!

Firefox are not sending me the 6 digit code email to sync my accounton on pc. I have added the email address to my contacts and I've checked the junk folder, nothing. When it somehow actually sends an email, it's to notify me that there is new sign in activity... Where the f*** is the 6 digit code?

While booting up my laptop, a series of extremely unfortunate crashes occurred back to back and ended up wiping the entirety of my synced login passwords and saved email addresses for all websites. After jumping through the multiple different hoops of profile management, json file extension editing, attempting to use a file explorer to recover previous versions of the required json file, I am at the end of my rope and worse off than where I started. Everything is missing now; bookmarks, passwords, email addresses, everything but recent history in this very browsing session.

All of my json files with relevant information are filled to the brim with null values, nothing seems recoverable and it's honestly a little soul crushing to deal with this. I read online that the the Firefox Sync data is also stored server side, and after multiple attempts of sighing into my account on different devices, I cannot get that server side data to flow back into my browser. If there is anything that can be sent my way to get me back on track, please, please help me out here in recovering my information. This is horrible. I have nothing now.

hello and good day to whom ever this massage gets to.

I just updated my windows at my work pc and all my programs were deleted and so I got signed out of all my accounts. I reinstalled firefox and tried to sign in but because its been a while I couldn't remember my password and had to reset it. but after all this and when I finally got into my account (with the same email address I was using until now) no matter how many times I click sync, nothing gets added to my bookmarks, history, passwords, etc.

then I checked with one on my phone to see whether that was working or not, and that was signed out as well and asks me to sign in again. I've been using this browser for years now and have many save information on this account I CAN'T LOSE ALL THAT. the primary account was on my laptop which is at home and currently I am terrified of turning that on and finding everything's gone again. please help me get my info back. I can't remember years of saved bookmarks and passwords.

While on a trip my laptop became corrupt, including Firefox. Firefox did a sync so I'm sure the copy on the servers is corrupt. When I get home and turn on my PC, how can I be sure Firefox with upload "a good sync" and not download the corrupt one and corrupt my PC. All themes, add-ons, etc. were deleted but bookmarks and bookmark toolbar seems OK.

i had to change my hard driver and installed the firefox on the new one, signed in with my firefox account but it starts as a new one !! all my passwords and data gona !! i got my old hard driver and didnt formated it, so i go all old data on windows partition.. which firefox was installed on it.. can i find my firefox data on old hard driver ? where i can find it ?

I'm confused about sync when it comes to sessions. Sessions is not one of the options.

A few days ago, I open Firefox and my profile was broken. Nothing worked in the way of toolbar addon buttons, contest menus, etc. I narrowed the problem down to the session store files.

The session was still present. I could scroll thru it, and select tabs, but hat was about it. Fortunately I was able to get things back working again in a fresh profile, but it was a tricky exercise.

My desktop sessions sync with my phone. Is the re a way to perhaps sync sessions, and do it recursively so you don't get a mess with duplicates and discarded tabs?

I used to to use Tab Session Manager until a couple years ago when it began destroying sessions, and there was no way to retrieve them. Even the supposedly repaired version couldn't reverse the process. Had something to do with the sessionstore-backups folder, so I don't know if I can trust it now.

I have recently left a job. I was given a laptop with that job. I have forgotten to remove the sync from that laptop. I no longer have access to that laptop.

I can see that it is still synced with this account.

I can find articles telling me how to un-sync the device if I control it, but not if I don't.

How do I remove that device from my account without accessing it or completely deleting my account?

Thank you

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Sync for my Containers. I've run through this several times now, and I know this is supposed to happen by default. However, it is not syncing for me. I added the extension, created a container and added a site to it. I selected 'Limit to Designated Sites'. When I install Firefox and login on a different device, the multi-container extension is automatically downloaded but not the containers/site list I created on the initial device.

I have checked 'Enable Sync' on both devices in the container settings.

Thank you

i got a new computer and could not remember the old password to my foxfire account the email was [email]@wisperwireless.com and that is not available at this time. when i tried the phone number it said it was not the right one and i have had it for years. when i got the new computer i tried to sinc it and it did but not with that information with the new account. Any other way i can get the old toolbar icons back

I got a new laptop in early August, and I installed Firefox and started Sync up (it was already working on the old laptop). It seems to have worked all right for a couple weeks, but just now I discovered that each laptop doesn't have anything in the History that I did on the other one since August 15 at 15:08. I've just found that in Settings there's a list of things that get synced, and "History" was not in the list. I've now added it, but why did it work for a couple weeks and then stop?? How can I prevent this happening again? Can I get them to sync back to August 15?

I started another thread in early August (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1345759) about another problem with Sync. That one was not completely resolved.

steps for reproduct:

1. sign in mac A's firefox, version might be 105 2. sign in iphone's firefox, version is 105 also, and then sync through camera scan. 3. sign in another mac B's firefox, i can't figure out the exactly version, and then i can't use the tool "send to my devices" to send page to my iphone anymore. (i can use the tool, but the device options of my iphone disappeared)

And then , i try to config my account, like remove account no longer use, but not archive the goal of sync between A's firefox with my iphone's firefox.

so what's wrong with operate, and i'm pleasure to provide my sync-log if helps.

and i also want to ask what's the inner logic of firefox's sync? why there fill with amount of bugs with the sync which is the basic functions for a broswer?

Thanks
