I-Firefox Community Forum

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 wanted to synch my current settings in my browser to import them on my new laptop. When I tried to login to my account, I the message from the attached screenshot appeared. So I created a new profile, got my stuff back to what it should be and then deleted the "new" profile. But now every time I try to get into the correct profile and login into my account, I still get the message from the screenshot. I never ever synched with another profile before and never had an issue in the past. Right now I am rather pissed off, because I lost atleast some of my bookmarks during this whole ordeal.

Sync works fine between my Android phone and my devices, in that I can see open tabs on the phone from both devices. But what does not work is sync between the laptop and desktop. They are both listed as connected devices along with the phone, both are signed in, both synch with the phone but neither will sync with the other, so I can't see the open tabs on either device. Is this an issue or is it by design? Thank you.

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.

My bookmarks bar, etc have will not synced with my Firefox even though I ran "sync" several times. I haven't used this laptop in quite awhile, so I had to log in and sync. Also in my themes, a certain creator "MaDonna" has error messages on all of them" Cabin in the Mountains (and all others by her) by MaDonna could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." In my extensions page, I get the same error message. I am beyond frustrated, I'm also very computer literate, but this mess has me baffled and frustrated :(

I have a Windows Surface Pro 8 and when I set it up, I had no issues with the Syncing or Add ons/Themes/Extensions, everything synced just fine. I have Theme categories set up, and that's not even on the Themes page. I have logged into all of my Firefox/Mozilla accounts. Can anyone help?

Instructions everywhere say to open Firefox on mobile, select the options menu, and select "Sync and save your data." However, "Sync and save your data" does not exist. I cannot sync my passwords from mobile to my desktop.

The subject says it all. The "tabs from other devices" are a) Shown as a long flat list of links, not in their individual tabs, which is disappointing b) right click does nothing - doesn't open them as advertised

"This profile was previously synced to a different account To keep your data organized and secure, each Firefox profile can only be synced to one account. To sign in using xxx@xxxx.xxx, create a new profile."

So I deleted my old mozilla account since I abandoned the email that it was linked to, but when I tried to sync with my new account I get this. Is there anyway to do this without having to make a new profile?

I tried making a new profile and copy and pasting my profile into the new one, but still get the same pop up. I guess there's something in my profile that says it's been synced before, is there anyway I can find that and delete it or change it?

使用系统：win11。我在之前的Firefox上已经登录了账号并开启了自动同步，前天我重新安装了系统并下载登录了账号。登录了账号之后并没有重新同步我的书签，我手动同步多次没有结果，并等待了一段时间自动同步，以及观察是否会同步书签到本地，结果仍没有。于是我尝试用我手机的Firefox登录电脑的Firefox，结果才同步了我手机的书签信息，但我手机的书签信息已经过时。而且电脑的Firefox显示可以和手机的Firefox互相同步信息及标签页等，但我观察后发现并没有完全同步，我电脑/手机的信息及标签页都是一天两天之前的，手动同步后仍然没有看到有更新。我希望同步回服务器的书签信息！

I installed a new Windows 10, then I installed the latest version of Mozilla Firefox v133 and there's no sync option in this version 🤔 What is the problem?

I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords

Any solution?

As you can see in the picture

With Firefox Android on my tablet, bookmarks are not syncing that i see when logged into my Firefox account on other devices. I tried logging out and in to my Firefox accont and also unchecking and checking the "sync bookmarks" box. Firefox Android says "bookmarks are now synced". But they aren't!

I had to re-installed from 0 my windows. I was sure my Firefox account had all my passwords and logins because I had problems in the past regarding this. Installed Firefox into my new fresh windows. Hit the Sync bottom. Lastly, remove the old Firefox account login from old windows (for safety).

Now I checked password, 0 passwords saved.....

I am trying to re-sync but nothing happens...

I recently got a new PC, and all my information was erased from it. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, as I expected to get everything back by logging into my account. However, after trying to sync my account for hours and searching on Google and YouTube for solutions, none of my information has returned.

When I contacted the person I bought the PC from, he said he couldn't help because I had forgotten to do something, possibly related to a Firefox update. I'm devastated and was hoping someone here could help. Is there a moderator or administrator who could assist with account recovery?

Everything is gone, I have had to reinstall windows 4 times in the last week with a new PC and now all my sync data is gone...Chrome remembers everything fine and Mozilla did remember everything until this install and now its not syncing anything.

If this stuff is gone so am I.

Have tried logging in with my google account, tried logging in with Moz account, tried sync button over and over tried restarting, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and manually deleting all the folders STILL NO SYNC DATA AT ALL.......

I have 3 devices connected to Mozilla account, 2 smartphones and 1 PC and NONE of them are syncing properly, bookmarks sync perfectly and everything else fails miserably. Some part of history does sync but nowhere near the full history. Syncing of open tabs is *completely* broken.
