Is there a way to copy + paste tabs from phones and tablets?

I love Firefox for Mac, but, on iPad and iPhone, it's impossible to use extensions such as Winger to save tabs. Too many times, I've lost 100 to 200 tabs at once, and so I switched back on iPad and iPhone to Safari. I never had a problem with Safari's built-in window-tab saver on iPad and iPhone but lost thousands of tabs on Mac, hence my move to Firefox on Mac.

On Firefox on Mac, when I click on Firefox View, I can view tabs from other devices, but there's no way to copy multiple tab links at once (you have to go one by one). If I ever were to shift back to Firefox for iPad and iPhone, does anyone know of a way to easily save 100 to 200 tabs from these devices?

I would rather use Firefox because I can't stand how Safari opens links from outside Safari, forcing the use of some new default window over the named window I already have open. It's so much work to micro-manage this browser.

Thank you kindly and enjoy a super day!

I had 10 or so tabs open on my laptop. I rebooted my laptop because iMessages failed, and i forgot to make a note of which tabs were open. They didn't restore upon rebooting. Is there somewhere this history gets synced? Its not in the 'recently closed tabs' because some of the tabs had been open for a while. thoughts?

My computer died today due to water damage, which means I can't turn it back on again. I got a new computer, I've looked all over the Firefox support websites, and can't find a solution as to how to get all of my Firefox data onto this new computer. I tried the profile page, but it looks like a profile for my old computer's Firefox never even existed. I have no idea where to find any of my old data.

How to sync multiple browser profiles across two computers?

I currently have three distinct browser profiles set up on my work computer (one main personal profile, one work profile and one guest profile), but only my main personal profile is syncing data (bookmarks, extensions, history, etc.) across to my other computer. When I log into my other computer, only my main profile appears and syncs. The other two profiles remain isolated to my work computer and aren't accessible or synced on the second machine. I want all three profiles to be available and fully synced across both of my computers so that their bookmarks and settings are mirrored everywhere.

Is it possible to have multiple profiles sync across devices simultaneously under the same account? If so, how can I properly link or set up the remaining two profiles so they sync across both computers without messing up my main profile?

Request for Clarification on Firefox Saved Logins and Account Syncing

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support,

I am seeking clarification and assistance regarding saved login details that appear in my Firefox browser, both on my laptop.

The situation is as follows:

At some point in the past, I mus thave attempted to access the Plenty of Fish (POF) dating site via the app on my iPhone. Alhtough not presently active, my iCloud account shows a history of the app being downloaded, and stored in the cloud.

I do not recall ever completing an account setup or using the service, but when I check Firefox on my laptop, I can see a username and password saved under Privacy & Security settings for POF.

I am trying to understand whether these saved credentials could have been synced between my iPhone and my laptop at the time of the attempted registration, meaning that they were stored automatically even if I did not intentionally log in on my laptop.

My specific questions are:

Do the Firefox saved logins on my laptop and my iPhone interlink automatically if Firefox Sync is enabled? (i.e., would login data entered on my phone app/browser be stored in the Firefox passwords list on my laptop?)

Is it possible to determine whether the saved username/password for POF was stored via the iPhone app/browser rather than being typed directly on the laptop?

I belive that if login attempts fail due to a non-existent or corrupted username/password, Firefox still store the login attempt details (username and password) even if the login itself did not succeed, can you confirm this? Is there a way of telling which it was failed/sucessful

This is a sensitive and personal matter, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and any clarification on how Firefox may have stored or synced these details.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards, A

I went through my laptop and turned off enhanced tracking protection for a variety of financial, work, etc. websites.

I was disappointed that this did not sync with my other computers.

Here's hoping Firefox developers will incorporate ETP exceptions into account sync.
