I have re-synced by desktop and laptop today, but I am unable to sync with my Android phone.

The instructions say to bring up firefox on my phone and click sign in. But whenever I type 'firefox.com' or 'firefox.com/pair' into my firefox browser on my Android phone, I get a version that offers to download firefox! I've been using it for years. I cannot find a way to sign in as instructed.

This has been a very frustrating experience, and I generally expect Mozilla/Firefox to do better.

On 10/15/25, for whatever reason Firefox literally disappeared from my laptop while I was online. Thankfully I had another browser to get Firefox reinstalled, but in getting all that done a file called Old Firefox Data with 68x5bhgm.default-release was deposited on my desktop. Today I discovered I had no bookmarks in Firefox on the laptop, so thought, fine I’ll just sync it up with the iPhone. The directions say open Firefox on your mobile device. Go to the menu and tap sign in. But the 3 dots do not show a menu to click on Sign in. So I can’t sync anything to get bookmarks back on the laptop. And all these problems began with the latest Firefox update to 144.0 on the laptop. The iPhone Firefox is still on update 143.2. Anyone have any ideas other than restoring to a prior date?

I am trying to sync my new laptop with my ipad. I am using Firefox with Duckduckgo as my search engine. Instructions are to click on the search window and a scan icon will appear to the right but I don’t see it. Would duckduckgo be effecting my ability to do that?

thanks

Hello -

I use Firefox (generally the latest release, currently 143.0.1 for iOS) on my iPhone 15 ProMax which is running iOS 26. The issue has happened for some time and is not tied to these versions.

I have PrivacyPro by Disconnect installed and every now and then I notice in the Activity tab that a great many, if not all of the domains that I have saved bookmarks for have been contacted. I noticed today that this happened following contacts to profile.accounts.firefox.com and mozilla.map.fastly.net.

Is there a way to turn this off? In most cases, I've been to the site at some point, but I would rather not have my system 'pinging' them routinely. It's not an out and out security concern, just seems peculiar.

I had a Firefox debian version installed on my desktop running Ubuntu Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and now I just installed the latest 143.0.1 "Mozilla Firefox Flatpak" version.

How can I synchoronized or migrate all my data such as bookmarks, add-ons, open tabs, settings for syncing ?

Thanks in advance for prompt clear step by step answer.

When trying to sync Firefox on my phone, the second step is to go to the menu, and tap sync and save data. However there is no button like that on my android version of Firefox.

Where tf is the sync and save data button on Firefox Android v 142.0

I am trying to sync with my desktop and there's no option under the menu for sync. The instruction given when I try to sync is to click the menu, go to "sync and save data" and scan a qr code. Of course the code doesn't work from my camera like every other qr code in the universe. It has to be scanned in the Firefox app but there's nowhere in the app to do this.

It's not in settings. It's nowhere.

Where is it, I REALLY REALLY NEED TO SYNC so that I have access to my bookmarks on my phone.

This shouldn't be complicated or difficult where is it???????? :( This is ridiculous.
