I updated my password but now when I go to sign in (since an updated password signs out on all accounts) it won't stay signed in ever on my laptop. I input the password, then the email confirmation, then the authentication, and it says I'm signed in but when I go to my account is disconnected again. I've tried many times. I've also cleared the cookies and cache. Any advice?

The online directions say that after logging in to Firefox on the desktop, that I should open the android app, click Settings and the click Sync and Save. But there is no Sync icon (see attachment) on the phone(android 14). On the laptop if I click on dd another Device it just takes me back to the same instructions. How do I sync the phone and computer?

I'm not currently able to sign into my UK account using this link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/account/ When I type in my email address and click continue I just get a circular loading symbol going round and round forever. I'm able to sign in using the US sign in link for some reason. I'm not able to sign into Firefox overall though, so none of my bookmarks etc. are synced. I have tried on two different laptops a week apart with the same results.

Logging in to a new computer with Firefox Sync re-enables asking to save passwords on all of my devices

When using university computers, I log in to Firefox Sync so that I have access to my bookmarks and tabs from home. When I do, Firefox will ask to save passwords on my home computer and phone again, even though I had it disabled in the past. Is there a solution for this, other than disabling it manually every time?

Thank you for your time. I'm posting this from my personal computer, so I'm unsure what version of Firefox the university PCs run, but if necessary I can find that information.

Recently I reinstalled my Windows 11 system, and even though I synced my Firefox account before reinstalling the system, there are no passwords, settings and extensions, which should be synced.

I searched for the same problem, but all I could find was searching for profile files in C:\Windows.old

The issue is I do not have Windows.old folder or anything like that.

Is there any way to recover at least my passwords?

Thanks in advance for help.

Does anyone know what causes Sync to fail in Firefox? I’m signed in on two devices with 6 to 9 tabs max open. My tabs don’t sync or send from one device to another properly. My history also doesn’t work. I just visited a site 2 minutes ago and all I see in my history is sites I visited 12 hours ago. I’m at my wits’ end and ready to find another browser. Please help if possible.

nevermind. fixed itself. maybe it just took it a lot longer than expected


I have two firefox accounts. Got a new computer and trying to sync to the new one. I have tried to sync both of them. But only 34 of 300 passwords transferred and only 20ish bookmarks of 100s transferred.

I have tried looking into both accounts on both computers at the same time, run sync, but nothing more will transfer

Please help an old dummie? I have an existing FF install on a laptop. I would like to clone it (with bookmarks, settings tiles etc) onto a new PC. An article I read said open FF on the PC you want to sync. This is confusing! "Synchronising" is ambiguous, meaning 2-way. (but which way) "copy from" & "copy to" would be clear. I am worried I will synch(copy) from the new to the old....... effectively deleting/wiping out all my preferences in my original install. OR (preferably) Is there a way to just copy the whole installation from my original PC onto a USB stick & installing FF to the new PC from it? Many Thanks

Hello

Out of nowhere I started having problems watching Videos on Twitch. So, after some Flatpak repairs and reinstalls, I decided to sync my data with Firefox Sync and remove it completely. For my surprise after reinstalling and logging in on Firefox Sync my only extensions and, what looks like part of my history were restored. Lost my session, custom tabs names etc.
