Hi,

I have read conflicting statements. I changed my firefox account password and when I sync I am getting none of my bookmarks and other information.

Has all my account data been deleted because I changed my password?

Hello. Have a problem with syncing passwords across two (for now) PC's. On my work computer I logged in to my Firefox account and imported some passwords form a file. After that, came home, logged in on home computer and see, that passwords are not synced from those, that I imported on work PC. What.s the problem?

This morning when I turned on my PC, Mozilla didn't restore my previous session across 4 different browser windows. Normally, it restores my session (and the 4 windows) automatically. But this time, it didn't. I opened Mozilla, but the "restore previous session" option didn't generate the previously open windows.

I've lost hundreds of tabs that I had open... is there any way to restore my previous session?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I've looked through the help docs for FF sync and Apple Handoff but am not sure which (or both?) of those may be causing this.

With both devices on and FF open, and on the same wifi, there appears an additional FF dock icon that when clicked opens up one tab from the other device.

How can I turn this off?

Super annoying and not useful at all. I have FF sync turned on and it's so easy to grab an open tab from another device via sync.

Thank you all for your time and help!

My computer suffered a Ransomeware attack and all programs/files are encrypted and disabled. I need to recover all stored Firefox log in and password info but don't know my personal Firefox login password on the affected Firefox account to enable Sync. From what I read, if I reset the password, I'll lose the info. I also don't have an account recovery key. Please help.

The closed captioned text is out of sync with the video. The captioning is running well ahead (20-30 seconds) of the video, which renders it nearly worthless. Can I sync picture and text somehow, or is that in the domain of the content provider?

Hi, I reinstalled MacOs and when I tried to re sync all my data was lost. I changed the password because I could't remember it. I lost markers passwords, please please someone help me. Please help! thanks

I’ve just signed in to my Firefox account for the first time in approximately two years. I’ve deliberately clicked “Later” when it suggested to sync my data. A few seconds later I found myself with messed up preferences, merged extensions, what else? (And that’s the worst that I don’t know what else is wrong.) There are three absolutely wrong things here: Sync has enabled despite I had explicitly said no; it didn’t ask what to sync before syncing; and it’s absolutely unclear how it resolves conflicts. I would very much like to know what exactly data was affected and what exactly had happened to it, and how Sync handles conflicts, especially in regards to extensions’ data. Thanks.

Hello All,

I just reset my password because I had forgotten it and I found out none of my other passwords are saved :(. In the description it said that data is encrypted and there MAY be some losses.. but is it possible that all is lost?

Thank you for support!

Hi,

I just brought a 3070... played with it and 2 days later (today) i was watching a movie and the screen turned black. Reinstalled windows, because it keeped happening.... found it that it seems to be the GPU died after 4 days for no reason at all (so i'm not in the best mood right now).

After reinstalling windows and installing firefox i notced that my bookmarks from my profile are gone and no matter what i do they seem to be gone.

This is really confusing to me, because last time i had to reinstall windows firefox loaded my bookmarks and even autoinstalled the addons that i had "in my account".

What happened? Why is everything gone? Not only did by new GPU chose to die on a saturday night... i just also seem to have lost my bookmarks of the last 8 years (some of them i do really need).

At first i thought that i have to select something to import the bookmarks, but since even my addons are gone i wonder where it all went.

I have seen multiple copies of this question, some unanswered, some with the same "answer". All the questions are closed so I cannot reply to them. The "answer" does not work.

I have the "Show tabs from other devices" sidebar. I also can access from "Open application menu" > email address > list of synced tabs. Both methods show me the device name and all of my synced tabs. Neither method has an "open all tabs" option. If I right click my device name nothing happens. If I right click a tab, it opens that one tab. I don't know how many tabs I have on my Android. I have enough tabs that it only shows the infinity symbol instead of the number. It has shown the infinity symbol for a long time and I've opened many more tabs since. It could be hundreds or even thousands of tabs. I have 224 tabs on my laptop. I want to open all 224 laptop tabs plus all however many Android tabs on my laptop at the same time. I'm aware this will cause significant lag on my laptop. I'm not looking for a solution for that or people telling me not to do that. I want to know how to open all of my synced tabs at once on my laptop, without having to click through one by one.

Edition Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2022-‎09-‎21 OS build 22621.1702 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22641.1000.0 "You're up to date Last checked: Today, 17:15" (Just clicked "Check for updates")

Firefox 113.0.1 (64-bit) "Firefox is up to date"

Firefox automatically updated and now tabs sync, which I absolutely hate and want to implode the Earth because this even exists. I go to the options to turn off the stupid pointless sync and oh wait it doesn't turn off. The box is not checked. Tabs still sync and display a worthless icon on my taskbar because apparently Mozilla thinks I'm such an idiot I need AN EXTRA FRICKING ICON to tell me I have open tabs in my browser.

So how do I actually turn this trashbag "feature" off if it's not by deselecting it in the "Sync" panel, since that doesn't work?
