I made sure to sign in and hit sync on my browser prior to moving over to my new computer. I've logged in on my new computer and manually hit the sync button but my passwords and bookmarks are not populating.

Hello,

I never received a confirmation code to sync with my other computer. I've tried to followed all the instruction per request, still no avi.

I've followed below instruciton from your team:

   Search your inbox for emails from accounts@firefox.com with the subject line "Confirm your account". Be sure to also check Spam/Junk folders.
   Add accounts@firefox.com to your whitelist/address book. After that you, will need to trigger another confirmation email by trying to sign into your account again.
   Check that you’re using the correct email address. Very often the email you’re trying to sign in with is not the email the account was created with.
   If you're using an email application to check your inbox, try using your email provider's website instead, or vice-versa.
   Disable any VPN or special DNS configuration when attempting to sign into your account

I use Zen Browser and I feel very satisfied with its features and stability, although there are still shortcomings, but nothing compared to all the advantages. Here I want to ask about how to open zen browser with the same account but both on different laptops and display all both workspace and container tabs with the same settings? if not, then tell me to import from laptop 1 to laptop 2 for zen browser data?

Synced my new computer, received bookmark toolbar and 10 year old bookmarks from when i switched from interent explorer, but all my more recent bookmarks and bookmark folders are still missing on the new computer. Also didn't seem to transfer passwords and autofill info.

Hello,

Earlier today I reformatted my device but when I logged in to firefox I can only see my history is getting synced my bookmarks are empty, I've checked and bookmarks are check off and they should be synced. How do I get them to sync? It has worked fine in the past. Thanks.

I'm attempting to set up Firefox in a newly installed OS and have logged into my Sync account. Many aspects seem to be loaded in, but the status via the Settings is stuck at "Syncing..." despite waiting several hours. Quitting Firefox results in a crash window popping up.

There are no files in the weave/logs directory. The weave/failed directory has multiple json files; most almost completely empty. addons.json has an ID, but that's pretty much it.

Deleting the .mozilla directory and starting over yielded no change in behavior.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was logged out of both computers so when I signed back in to sync my desktop to my laptop, it would not sync my rows that I have on my desktop I ended up changing two bookmarks on the homepage Rows when I was signed out but they would not change on my laptop when I was signed back in I had to do it manually, but if I stay signed in, I'm sure that it will change but how fast is it supposed to do that because I waited at least five minutes and nothing changed. I also clicked on my icon and clicked on sync now, but nothing changed.

Is 'Sync Firefox data' a way to 'back-up' your browser?

(ie: Can I retrieve all my urls even if I change my iMac (etc) to a later one?) Is 'Sync Firefox data' the way to do this?

Thank you.

I have used Firefox bookmarks via sync for 20 years!! My previous computer is bricked and cannot be accessed. I have a fancy sync code but when I download Firefox on my phone or new computer, it’s like I’m a first time user. It offers me a new sync code but won’t allow me to use what I have. Are my files recoverable? Can I wipe from my old machine too?

I had to reset my computer. Then when tried to sync my mozilla data. Maybe because I had to change my password due it was in my computer's passwords key (I didn't memorize it, my bad). I'm worry because I'm a ebay's seller and all the bookmarks are so important for my store due there are info of my items future sales. So I'm so sad and desperate. I'll GREATLY appreciate your help, please. Thank you so much for time.

Hello! I had to reinstall windows 10 recently due to a blue screen of death type crash, and if memory serves, this also happened to me year years ago and I was able to recover my old Firefox configurations, bookmarks etc. This time, I am getting nowhere even though I signed in to Firefox with the same email address I've had size the Mesozoci Era. Am I doing something wrong? This is driving my OCD CRAZY.  :)

Since Mozilla no longer supports Lockwise, I am trying to sync my iPhone to my laptop to get all my passwords. INstructions tell me "Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code" First of all, this choice does not exist in the iPhone Firefox menu. If I go into "Settings" and press "Sync now" none of my passwords show up within Firefox. Please help. Thank you.
