I recently got a new computer and installed firefox. Every time the computer restarts, it wants me to log in for the sync feature ("Reconnect to Firefox Account" appears under options with an exclamation point). This did not happen on my old computer, so this is weird because all I've done is reinstalled firefox with the exact same settings/addons as before. This is my personal desktop computer so I don't want to have to re-log in every restart.

Hey y'all,
does anyone know a possibility to sync deeper, more advanced settings via the Firefox account? For example I'm using network.proxy.autoconfig_url, which is not synced to other machines. I already tried the services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary setting, but it still won't sync.
Thanks in advance! Juergen

Gents: I do not want to give my correct phone number for anyone to enter in their database. How can I use Sync w/o giving my true number? 2. I thought I had Sync set up previously but now it always hits me with the 'enter your phone number' which is a dead end for me.
3. I believe when the Support page is asking for my Yahoo email logon (for some reason) that it is linking my Yahoo with this support site instead of allowing me to use my normal logon. Is there a way I can check and be sure that these are not linked, and that I didn't miss some asterisk B.S. somewhere about "you are now giving support.mozilla or whatever was using this, to link my yahoo account?
Thank you!

I'm trying to switch to a new desktop. IT guy claimed to be a Firefox expert, but, when my password didn't work, he changed it without getting a recovery key. My old setup still exists on my old desktop and my laptop. Is there any way to save what's on either of those two computers so that I'm not starting from zero? I have literally been brought to tears at the thought of saving all those bookmarks and passwords manually. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

In the account section there used to be a disconnect button. This was very very useful. I used it every day. Now it has gone and signing out leaves my history, bookmarks and, I discovered yesterday PASSWORDS in the browser. PLEASE bring it back. Why reduce functionality?? I don't get it. The whole point of having a Firefox account is to be able to take all these things with me wherever I log in. An ESSENTIAL part of that is not leaving behind anything when I log out. Thanks

I re-installed my OS on a machine. Signed into firefox, and all my bookmarks are missing. Look at my other machines, and my phone, and all of their bookmarks are missing.
I did not change my account password. I changed nothing on the other machines, but it synced the new install's blank(well, the Getting started) bookmark set. WTF?! There's 5 years of bookmarks missing now.
Is there still an option to remove/delete synced data when disconnecting a device?

I use firefox on multiple PCs at work and sign in to sync my bookmarks and passwords; it's been an excellent feature given I'm not guaranteed to be in the same room and on the same PC. Since the latest update, when I choose to disconnect, I no longer have the option to remove/delete synced data, specifically bookmarks and passwords. I can't find it anywhere is settings. Has this been removed?

Why does Sync prompt me to install "on another device" when this is the fourth or fifth active device I've logged into the account with?

Over the past few days, I've logged into Firefox on a few new devices - mainly, a Windows partition on my computer, and on a school computer.
In both instances, after logging in, it doesn't give me any indication of being finished - instead it prompts me to "install on another device". Most recently, on this computer, it asked me to send an SMS to my phone to login to Firefox Sync on my phone.
This would be reasonable, except for the fact that I'm already using Firefox on my phone, and have it actively logged in with the account I'm logging in to. When I go to look at my devices on accounts.firefox.com, I have 6 devices listed, including my phone "last seen 7 hours ago" and my main computer "last seen 3 hours ago". It's clear to me that these are active devices, and that I don't need to install on any other devices to get sync working.
The main reason this is annoying is that I don't get any confirmation that I've completed logging in - only a prompt to do something unnecessary. I can work around this by simply ignoring the prompt, but I'm concerned for other less tech-savvy consumers who might be confused, thinking they're still not done when they login to Sync on their second device! Imagine someone logs into their phone first, and then the computer - it'd be pretty confusing to then have the computer ask them to sign in on the phone.
I personally was slightly confused, and had to double check that bookmarks were actually syncing and that I hadn't accidentally made a new account or done something to erase my previously logged-in devices...
How do I tell Firefox Sync to: Use *this* as my master copy - and propagate it to all my Windows desktop machines?

HI. I understand how difficult Sync is and have read the deep dive article on how it is being (or has been) rebuilt to work "properly". I have just one question - but here's why: Sync still has the ability to mess up bookmarks between my 5 Windows machines. So all I want is a clear way to do this: I'd like to fix up all my bookmarks on one machine : let's call it "A" - and then propagate that to all the others. I tried doing this by A. Stopping sync on all, B. Fixing up the duplicates, empty folders and other messed up things in bookmarks on A manually C. Starting Sync again. And within a day my 5 hour marathon had been completely wasted as they were in a heck of a mess again. Could someone please try and include "A straightforward way to reset and rebuild your bookmarks- AND SYNC THEM!" in the design doc? And put that a set of clear instructions somewhere? But in the meantime - please let me know how I do this. Surely "reset and rebuild from here" is an obvious requirement? Thanks guys - this hurts because I'm completely in love with the "new" Firefox and how safe I feel with it. So help me here!

I have a Firefox account and use it to sync across devices; being able to sync and then completely log out on one device is a primary reason I use Firefox.
I log out of devices that I do not own when I'm exiting Firefox. Today I opened Firefox on a device that I'm 100% certain I logged out of yesterday - and found that my bookmarks, bookmarks bar, and add-ons were already visible and active, and one of my add-ons was already logged in.
I verified that the Firefox Sync / login screen showed that no one was logged into the Firefox account, and then I logged in using my usual credentials. It reflected that I was then logged in, but everything else remained visible.
I followed Firefox instructions for viewing the logs, and strangely, there was no log. I went up a directory, and found that all the logs were in the 'failed' directory. Clicking on each of the failed subfolders shows only: ids []
This is very concerning because it entirely negates the security and privacy aspects of having a login. I was not logged into Firefox - and the Firefox interface confirmed that this morning, in addition to confirming it when I logged out yesterday - yet somehow not only were my personal bookmarks showing, but one of my add-ons was also logged in, providing further access to anyone who might have opened a Firefox window from this device.

My Desktop has bookmarks going all the way back to Netscape 1.0 (1995), my LapPad bookmarks go back just a few years. I would like to be able to decide which takes precedence like the Contacts merge in Gmail.
I have been a database user/programmer/coder for the last 50 years, and I know the grief you can run into if update does not go as planned. I could wind up with 1995 data overwriting 2019 data.
Please help or point me to where I can find answers?
