None of my saved passwords in my Mozilla account are showing up when I switch laptops and try to logon to various sites. Instead I have to manually enter the passwords for the sites every time even though the sites show that I have saved passwords for that site in my Mozilla account. When I type the password in a old or new site, Mozilla doesn't even ask if I want to save the password anymore.

So.... I ended up getting a new laptop and I signed in on my mozilla account and it turns out I have lost everysingle bookmarks/saved stuff / passwords etc....

Now... the thing is I do not have my old laptop anymore cause it doesn't even turn on.. I did not make a backup cause I thought all this information is saved online...

What do I do now to get my old stuff back???

Thank you

I lost ALL of my passwords, saved favorites and am so pissed with my inability to retrieve them. I occurred when I was in the sync settings while personalizing firefox. What gives?

I was using my account for sync my bookmarks, but i hope that was saved in my phone. After check CCleaner deleted all from my laptop, i realize that was also deleted from my mobile. ¿How i can recover all my bookmarks that was sync in my account?

I know the system backs up bookmarks every day or so. I want to migrate all to a new PC. With a new Laptop it seems to have done so automatically, maybe through synchronize feature, I am not sure how I did that . I normally export bookmarks to a external flash drive as HTML. Just did also to a .json file type cannot find how to do that. Which format and method will be best? Have all of the old PC backed up through Acronis full back up. Will that have the full Firefox program with the bookmarks?

I have rebooted my computer and when Firefox is restarted all the bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar are gone. I have Firefox set to sync these bookmarks on all devices and am concerned if I just initiate a new sync then the bookmarks will be deleted from all other devices instead of reloading them all from the Mozilla server. How can I force a reload of all sync'd bookmarks from the Mozilla server to my Firefox on this computer?

I thought that synchronization would save my data so that I could prepare my PC for reinstalling Windows. As a result, after all the procedures and installing the Browser, synchronization does not restore my data. It's very disappointing. And the history of old sessions is completely erased.

I have lost my profile in firefox, i have an account sync but after restarting my pc i lost everything and seems the profile is not existing and when i re log with my account i did not recover anything.

Please help me it is a big problem.

Thank you

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to urgently request your assistance regarding a critical data loss issue with my Firefox account.

Recently, I reset my Firefox account password because I could not remember the original one. However, I was not informed or clearly notified during the reset process that resetting my password without a recovery key would result in the permanent loss of my synced data, including saved bookmarks, passwords, and other browser data.

Unfortunately, this Firefox account was the only place where I had stored this important information, and I had no separate backup of the data elsewhere. I understand that for security and encryption reasons, data cannot always be recovered—but I believe users should be more explicitly warned during the password reset process.

I am having trouble logging into my bank account. Message is saying error, secure connection failed. An error occurred during a connection to online.newcastlepermanent.com.au. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR. Have not had problems before. Please help.

I believe I had all this synced in Firefox Settings before I made the upgrade. Like all you fellow former users of Windows 10, I had to upgrade to Windows 11; and did so two days ago. Now, I found that I do not have under History any of the former sites I not only visited but also had tabs open. What can I do, if anything, to recover them? Under the Add-ons Manager, if this helps, I already had the app Tab Session Manager, but don't know how to use it. Thanks to all in advance who may have made this same upgrade. Many out there are still on Windows 10.

Hi,

I can't seem to retrieve all of my Firefox bookmarks or passwords on this new mac laptop. My other (mac) one fried. I thought everything was saved on Firefox.  Tried to sync from phone (android) too. Therefore, I'm having a hard time logging into certain accounts, which I depend on Firefox for my saved passwords. (evidently that is a thing of the past and I will now write all passwords down in a safe place. Also does anyone know why when I scroll on my mouse I have to scroll up, in order to scroll down, more importantly how can I change it back. This is a new glitch. and I'd rather not get used to it! Please help if you can.

Thank you, techno dummy Noel lol

I am thinking about trying sync now that I have both a Windows and Mac computer. Each has a different set of bookmarks, so let's just look at that.

I create an account. I set up sync on my PC. I then sign in on the MAC. What happens to bookmarks?

I would hope that the first time the PC bookmarks are made identical on the MAC. Then, regardless of which changes in the future, the additon or deletion or d=editng of a bookmark is echo's on the other device.

Is my thinking right? Can I force thePC to be the first accurate listing of bookmarks? And everything else I choose to sync?

Thanks.

Hi, I just switched laptop< I no longer have my old one. I thought I'd just have log in to Firefox to recover all my information, like bookmarks and saved passwords, but now that I'm logged in, I can't find any of that. Is it possible I didn't save it? Can you help me recover it?

Thanks in advance.
