1. Click the menu button to open the menu panel.
2. Click the Sign In button next to Sync and save data.

   

   • The Firefox accounts sign-in page will open in a new tab.
3. Enter your email and click Sign up or sign in.

   

4. Create a password and enter your age (Why do we ask?) and click on Create account

   

   • Take note of the email address and password you used: You'll need them to sign in.
5. Choose what information to sync. (See How do I choose what information to sync on Firefox?)
6. You will receive a confirmation email from Firefox with a 6-digit confirmation code. Use it to confirm your account.

Connect additional devices to Sync

A device could be a mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet), a desktop computer, or another Firefox profile. For more on mobile devices, see:

• Android phones and tablets: Sync bookmarks, tabs, history and passwords on Android
• iPads, iPhones and iPod touch devices: Sync bookmarks, logins and browsing history on FIrefox for iOS

To connect another desktop computer or profile, just sign in and let Firefox Sync do the rest. To sign in, you'll need the email address and password you used in the previous section.

1. Open Firefox on the computer or profile you want to sync.
2. Click the menu button , then click the Sign In button next to Sync and save data and sign in.

   

   • If you're already signed in (see How do I know the status of my sync?) click Sync Now to start syncing immediately.
