Forum Bashkësie Firefox

Hey I've reinstalled my PC i installed Firefox. Login to Firefox Sync. And now it's empty. no tabs, no passwords, everything is gone. I usually do this every time and it work. I am sync my Android phone with all my passwords and bookmarks

In seeing other answers to this dilemma it presents another problem. I do use sync. But what troubles me is IF I need to give out the password for someone to use the internet that person now has access to my passwords. Since there seems no way, unless I shutoff sync. Is this correct? Should there be some Secondary password? Passwordpasswordpasswordpasswordetc.

An error occurred during a connection to passport.moi.gov.af. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I mistakenly removed an important extension (LinkLocker, which I wrote, actually) from my synced work computer, not realizing it would be removed from my home laptop as well.

Unfortunately, I saved a significant amount of data in that extension's storage and, after reinstalling it, can't seem to recover it.

Is this data lost forever or is there some place I can look to find it?

I was forced to do issues with my windows to reinstall, not having the ability to backup anymore due to the errors.

So after reinstalling windows I install firefox, I log in and it doesn't sync. Searching for a solution I found one that stated, if you have a backup of your files restore those into the new firefox profile. I do that and it shows a syncing animation shortly. Nothing happens though.

I start searching for other solutions, there they state just make a new profile via about:profiles and log in. I do so and it works, it starts syncing, but the problem now is it synced what synced in that other profile. So that other profile never really synced as in it did not grab from the cloud but rather it only upped and with that I guess overwrote everything what I had there? None of my later bookmarks are there, I only have what I had as a physical backup now. Why does sync work so? Not my first fight with sync, but I never lost data like this.

Kinda wish the sync interface was user-friendlier, where I can see what is overwritten or at least that I can choose to upload or download from sync when I log in. Instead of it choosing for me to just upload...

Recently my PC has died from the hardware crash. So I've bought another PC and installed Firefox. While other browsers seem to nicely sync bookmarks and history from the previous PC, Firefox didn't do that although I have been logged into my Firefox account on both PCs and I can clearly see the other PC in devices using this account. What is the reason for that?

Hello! I have an issue where there are two entries for the same device showing up when I click "Send tab to device." I've already tried logging out on this device, and the rest of my devices, and logging back in, but there are still two entries for it. I have also verified that there is only one device under this name in accounts.firefox.com.

The following content is translated using GPT machine translation. Dear Firefox team,

I encountered a problem while using the Firefox Sync service. After registering an account with one of my email addresses, I tried to log into this account on another device, but it prompted me to register again. After following the instructions and registering, I found that both Firefox accounts are associated with the same email, but they cannot be linked together. Later, I tried using a different email address, but the same issue occurred. Finally, I attempted to log in with Google, only to discover that one of the devices does not have the option to log in with Google. I suspect this might be the reason why I cannot use Sync. The Firefox version on this device is 128.02, running on Win10.

Looking forward to your response. Wishing you a pleasant day.

So, my old computer recently broke, but I luckily recovered all my files. I was re-downloading Firefox onto this computer, but my bookmarks and add-ons and stuff won't sync. When I searched for the solution to this, I saw someone having a similar-ish problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1403774#answer-1563248), but they just said they had to wait awhile for it to sync. Now, I have a couple questions that I can't seem to get the answer to:

1. How long does it take to sync my data? How long did that person have to wait?

2. What if it never syncs and that person just got lucky? Is there some sort of alternate way to fix this faster?

I'd really appreciate help on this topic, but I'm not the best with computers. If anyone has had this problem, and figured it out, please let me know! I had a lot of bookmarks and a good amount of add-ons, I really would like to not lose those.

I was using Firefox for last 5-8 years and all data was saved. Few days back i was started using Linux Debian 12. i tried to login for sync but , after logging all data was erased. I tried from windows also , no data.
