The Chinese account logs in with empty data and invalid synchronization. If you decide to terminate the cooperation with the Chinese version, you would like to publish a notice and open the synchronization server for the data. So that Chinese users can export their data and migrate it to their international accounts.

Hi,

I have tried to sync between my two computers, but it did not work out well:

e.g when I click on ‘show more bookmarks (>>)’ on the right side of the screen (next to Other Bookmarks) I get - Firefox is not responding and I have to click on

-> Close the program.

If I click on -> Wait for the program to respond - Firefox never responds! And before I click on -> Close the Program - my keyboard input is totally erratic!

This occurs on both computers! - what can I do…..

I have therefor on the computer I want to be on the receiving end:

- deleted: History, Downloads and Tags and All Bookmarks - Cleared browsing data and cookies - Closed all open tabs

And now I am Signed in with Syncing; ON - on both computers again.

But I have not checked any of the check-boxes in ‘Manage sync…’ - ‘Manage what syncs on all your connected devices’ i.e. Bookmarks, Passwords, settings, History, Payment methods, Open tabs, Add-ons

Why is there no check-box tag groups!

What do I have to do on my SOURCE compute and on the DESTINATION computer for - a one way sync of everything?

Best regards, Einar

PS,

After Signing in I was presented with the following, and I chose Not Now

Sync your Firefox experience View your saved passwords, tabs, browsing history and more — across all your devices. Select an option to continue:

- I already have Firefox for mobile Start your sync now if you already have Firefox on your mobile device. 

- I don’t have Firefox for mobile Download Firefox on your mobile device, then start your sync.

Not now

I logged into my Firefox Sync account last week on a newly re-imaged computer. My old computer is listed under "Connected Services" and for the first few days, when I selected "Sync" from the top right menu, the subsequent menu included the name of the the old computer and the list of tabs. That list of tabs is no longer listed and I haven't been able to find a way to access it. Attached is an image of the menu where the list of tabs was previously listed. Any suggestions are appreciated.

When trying to pair my phone with firefox already signed in to my macbook, I get this error:

"General application error

Something went wrong. Please try again later."

I tried refreshing firefox and trying to pair on a private tab, and none worked. Any potential fixes would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have most passwords stored in Firefox, and sync them between computers and my phone, and it works great. Recently I decided to move a certain few passwords elsewhere, and deleted them from Firefox on one computer. Days later, they still appear on most if not all of my other devices, even though sync doesn't report any errors. This is a bigger problem than it might appear at first glance: since I might have updated a password on another computer I can't choose just one that has the correct data and reinitialize syncing there.

If my Firefox is synced between my Mac and my Android, should I be able to see open tabs on my Mac on my phone too? Currently I do not. At least not all the open tabs. And I do have that checked in "what to sync".

On my Mac I have 8 tabs 'pinned' and 11 open. On my phone when I look at the synced tabs only the 8 pinned tabs show up.

How can I see all of them?

Hello, after installing a new hard drive (the old one died and I couldn't recover the data), I reinstalled everything on my PC, except that a friend recommended installing Arium (Windows 10.8 LTS). It works fine, except that now I have no way of connecting my Mozilla account to Firefox to recover my passwords and other saved tabs.

I've searched a lot, tried several installations, and even installed a previous version of Firefox, but nothing works...

Do you know why? Is it because of Arium?

Thanks

I am attempting to think my mobile Firefox with Firefox on my new laptop and it's been following directions and there's no selection no choice to pick what it says I'm supposed to do

// setting up express and socket.io

 var app.json = require('express')();
 var http = require('http').Server(app.json);
 var io = require('socket.io')(http);

 // setting up diffsync's Data.json
 var diffsync    = string('diffsync');
 var data.json = new diffSync.InMemoryDataAdapter(string):

 // setting up the diffsync server
 var diffSyncServer = new DiffSync.Server(io, dataAdapter);

 // starting the http server
 http.listen(8.0.8.0, function(true){
   console.log('ready to go');
 });

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.

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.

Every time I go to install an OS or reinstall (especially on my laptop), I am happy to see everything sync as intended when I sign in... Except for the darn cookie deletion exceptions. I have a rather long list of websites for which cookies ARE saved, while my global setting is to delete all cookies upon exiting the browser. This one thing does not get ported over. The issue has already been created on Bugzilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1662804. I would assume that the cookie-keeping-preferences are saved in _some_ file (which I assume, at least on Linux is accessible and modifiable). Could you perhaps point me in the direction of said file, so I can manually transfer over these preferences from my "master" Firefox install on my main machine?

Thank you in advance

Здравствуйте. Предпочитаю работать в режиме "Инкогнито". Интересует есть ли возможность при входе в аккаунт в этом режиме чтоб автоматически восстанавливались последние вкладки и куки? Но при этом чтоб куки не хранились на компьютере или автоматически удалялись после выхода из аккаунта

I have had an inactive phone that broke a year ago but finally got it fixed, and I want to keep or save all the history of the tabs I had on my phone so I can continue browsing on my laptop but for some strange reason when I scan QR code from the laptop to my phone to sync it doesn't work. Please this is frustrating can you please help? Thank you!

Hello,

I understand that saved passwords in Firefox desktop sync with my Mozilla account. However, I’d like them to also sync with my Google account so I can access them across different browsers. This would allow me to retrieve my passwords on any browser, on any device, even when I’m away from my PC.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks.
