I've just gone through having to reinstall windows due to 24H2 and I've got Firefox back thankfully.

My problem is that the sync account has created another device name (as I hadn't restarted after renaming the computer).

Can I get my old device profile back and discard the new one?

Can I just uninstall firefox then reinstall now the computer has been renamed after a restart?

With thanks, Dave

Hi I have used two computers for different purposes and places, but have had the same account with passwords synchronized on both machines. I would like to synchronize everything - especially bookmarks and payment methods - on the machines. My question is: what happens if I 'just' set synchronization active in all sections on both machines? Is one of the machines considered the 'master' machine, so its 'content' is synchronized to the other, so that content that was not on the 'master' machine is deleted? Or is everything preserved, so I have all content from both machines on both machines? Where can I possibly find more detailed information about this? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!

I have bought a new laptop and I want to synchronize data from old one to new one. Unfortunately, the old laptop is off and I cannot use it. Instead, I have also the mobile android chrome which I can use. Please advise.

I like the idea of Firefox, so I wanted to migrate my passwords to your service

During the migration, I repeatedly ran into the problem that when using "Search Firefox" to log into accounts on other devices, even after a rough synchronization in Firefox itself, the saved passwords that can be viewed in Passwords in PC do not immediately appear in the pop-up window in Android smartphone, which logically should not have such problems

In my opinion, this will discourage almost all users who want to "move out" of Google services

I can see no way to download passwords or bookmarks on my android phone, so I can email them to myself, open on my PC and add them to PC Firefox. I have signed in to the same account on both devices, and turned sync on on both devices. I receive no passwords or bookmarks on the PC. I had to re-install Windows 11, and now I cant get my passwords or bookmarks onto my PC.

Cannot take screenshot of passwords on android - screenshot is blank.

Hello, I want to recover and snyc my history in to a new device. can you please advise how can I get all my websites and history in my new device?

thanks,

I have just purchased an iMacAir 3, 2024. For the last 12+ years I have used an obviously much older iMac. I think I have successfully installed Firefox in my new laptop, but want also to tranfer all my passwords, bookmarks, etc. How do I do this?

Bonjour, J'ai deux PC sous wind11. Je retrouver tous mes Marques Pages du premier PC sur le second PC . J'ai installé Firefox et en synchronisant cela ne me donne rien... Auriez-vous une suggestion ? Je vous remercie par avance. Clt. A.
