Similar names for Connected Services make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices. The workaround is to "send to all devices". I can change my device names but I don't know how to change the Connected Service name. Here are some:

• * * geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-q551ln-ASUS-Laptop
• * * Gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-SM
• * * Firefox on asus ASUS_AI2202
• * * Geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-iMac
• * * Firefox on samsung SM-G781V
• * * gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-LT-SM
• * * Firefox on SM-G960U1 Santa Maria, CA, United States

How can we improve this? Abbreviate Firefox to "Ff"? Use an in-line Firefox glyph? Also, I have a dualboot and run Lubuntu and Windows from the same device. I wonder how I can handle the device name to differentiate which OS I'm logged into.

I have extensive bookmark collections organized under my bookmarks toolbar. I use different bookmark sets at home and work. I need them remain separate but would like them to be backed up and synced. For example, if I'm at home, I want to be able to toggle over to my WORK bookmarks with all the latest updates. Basically, I need distinct bookmark identities but don't care about keeping other work/home stuff isolated.

I tried making home and work profiles, but syncing them to my Mozilla account merged the bookmarks which was a mess that took a long time to straighten out.

Can 2 profiles be synced to the same Mozilla account without merging bookmarks toolbars? If I have to create a separate Mozilla account for each profile, that kind of defeats the purpose.

I've looked at the available docs but can't see a fix. Can someone advise how I can either:

A) Sync multiple profiles (with bookmarks) to my Mozilla account without merging the bookmarks toolbars B) Find another solution to let me toggle bookmark sets.

I'm trying to find a solution for having all tabs open across devices. Currently, my desktop has about 50 open tabs that I access regularly. Today, I installed Firefox on my laptop, signed in and initiated syncing. All bookmarks came over, everything looks great, except that none of my open tabs from the desktop browser show on my laptop.

I would like to have identical tabs open across devices. Is there a way to configure this where a new computer being logged in automatically receives all open tabs from the initial device and then tabs automatically sync based on whatever is opened/closed on either device after the initial tabs are identically synced?

Product: Firefox for Windows

Hello,

I am returning to Firefox after many years and have recently reinstalled the browser. I logged into my old Firefox Account, but it immediately started syncing my old data (passwords, bookmarks, extensions) from years ago, which I no longer want.

Here is my dilemma:

I cannot simply turn off Sync. I want to use Sync for my new data (new passwords and bookmarks) moving forward, so keeping Sync enabled is necessary.

I cannot find an option to manually delete old data on the Mozilla account website. The "Delete Synced Data" option mentioned in some older guides does not seem to appear on my current account management page.

Is there a way to completely wipe the historical Sync data from the Mozilla servers so I can start fresh with a clean cloud, while still keeping the Sync feature active for my future data?

Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

After copying profile that's already synced to my old account, I'm unable to set sync that copied profile to new mozilla account. According to support page, it should sync just fine by using different mozilla account. From what I noticed, this new copy profiles feature doesn't make a new profile in about:profiles, could this be an issue?

While I have a Mozilla account, I typically am not signed-in when I use Firefox. I have noticed that when I do sign-in, extensions that I have removed while not signed-in are automatically reinstalled and stay installed when I sign out. Apparently the extensions were installed prior to signing-in sometime in the past; removing the extensions while signed-in seems to remove them for good. As good an idea as this may seem (?), I need this to stop. Any ideas? I am not intentionally backing-up or syncing anything.

I have two profiles, one for work and one for my personal in the same account. I need to sync both of my profiles but do not want the information in the two profiles mixed together. I need to sync the information as I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for work, and mobile devices and another laptop for personal matters. If I am on work travel and need to access my personal profile on my laptop (because schlepping two machines is silly!), I want to switch my profile to the personal one. then when I am done I want to switch back to the work profile. How can I do this and is firefox set up to do this?

I have used Firefox as primary browser on my Mac for many years — never Safari.

Until yesterday, I used Safari as the only browser on my iPhone.

I now see all my Safari bookmarks in the iPhone’s new Firefox browser, but not the important open Safari tabs.

How can I sync my iPhone Safari web page tabs to Firefox on both devices, and sync the Mac’s open Firefox web page tabs to iPhone Firefox?

Like many I was confused about the recent message regarding the free VPN which is being rolled out. I have no ICON in Firefox, and whilst I now understand that this is because it is being rolled out gradually, I did initially try a couple of things to try to find it. One of these was to sign in to my account, however, when I did this my browser went crazy. Loads of bookmarks disappeared, as did all the folders that I had these filed in, and loads of very old redundant bookmarks that I had long ago deleted were back. It seems that Firefox synced with 'something', but as I only ever use Firefox on this PC, I don't know what. Also, the browser no longer worked - I could search for anything and I got results, but I got a crash message if I clicked on any of them. Using Edge to search instead, I discovered how to roll back a sync, so I did that and now Firefox is back to normal with all my current bookmarks, history etc.. Obviously I am not inclined to sign in to my account again for fear of this happening again. I assume that when the free VPN finally becomes available to me I will need to sign in. My question then is: is there a way of signing in to my account without initiating a sync of any kind so that my browser stays as it is? (I am actually using Edge to ask this question as I couldn't pose it without signing in and didn't want to risk doing that in Firefox!)

I have a Windows 7 desktop with Firefox 115.35.0esr (64-bit) which was just updated today. I also have a Windows 11 laptop with Firefox 150.0 (64-bit). Now all of a sudden all of my bookmarks have been combined. The ones that were on the laptop are now on my desktop and vice versa. I started deleting the ones on the desktop that were from the laptop and they started to be automatically deleted from my laptop. How do I stop this from happening.
