If I am using Sync and I want to delete a bookmark from "Manage Bookmarks" say, doe that book mark get deleted from the synced database on the Mozilla server? And if so, does it then get deleted from my other synced devices like Firefox for Android on my mobile next time I used Firefox on my phone?

Sync is a nightmare. It is so unintuitive! What exactly would be wrong with having separate Export and Import buttons for each of Settings, Addons, Tabs, History, Bookmarks, etc? I have a desktop box and a newer laptop I wanted to get up to date. I pressed the Sync button on the desktop ... By the way, there`s a link below that reads "Connect another device" ... Connect where? Someone is designing these interfaces who has absolutely zero imagination. Anyways, I signed off, moved the ethernet cable to my laptop, signed in, pressed Sync, and voila!, I got my Bookmarks, at least. But I have no idea how to get my tabs and windows. I tried with a "download link" something or other, but it seemed to assume I was sync-ing to a phone, and didn`t work. Any way to get my tabs?

After a fresh install of windows and Firefox, I logged into my account as normal on my PC browser and lost all of my passwords, bookmarks, settings, and everything else when I synced it to Firefox on my iPhone. It's as if my account was reset. There was multiple years of data saved there. Is there a fix to this?

I have two notebooks with Firefox (NB1 and NB2). NB2 rebooted and Firefox restarted losing all open tabs; now I would like to bring the tabs from NB1 to NB2; both have synchronisation enabled, but when I go to ‘Settings, synchronisation’ on NB2 it says ‘Synchronising in progress’ and nothing happens. I've also tried going to NB1 and sending a tab to NB2; I select NB2 and nothing happens.

Hi,

I've got Sync on a laptop and phone. My phone will see all the current tabs on my desktop, but the desktop is out of date by about a week no matter how many times I hit Sync Now.

I have signed out and signed in again on my laptop but this did nothing. I saved a new bookmark on my desktop to force a sync, nothing. I did the same on my phone, nothing. Short of signing out on my phone and possibly risk the one that DOES actually Sync, what else can I do?

My phone is an Android, my laptop is using Windows 11. My laptop has not reset recently.

Thank you.

sign in wants code. my google authenticator not giving correct code to sign in. only can sign in with google acct to post to ask a question.

so need to suggest use a text as I am confused with phone google authenticator. like to turn off this step. so can sync. reinstall ff and old bookmarks show up.

I am sorry that my letter has caused you trouble but I have to ask you for help to solve the problem I was facing. I forget to save my account Password when I uninstalled the Firefox browser and I didn’t log in to my account at the time.But I’m in hurry and need it too.Can you help me get it back?Thank yo very much! And the website is pog.org

My account was fine all night and now I get an “inactive account” message when attempting to login.

Would you help me signing up? I already created Mozilla Support account a while ago. But I'm still having that same problem.

Hi, not sure what I'm doing wrong, but my logins and passwords simply will not synch between devices. I principally use a desktop Win10 machine, and an iOS version of Firefox. Have double-checked settings on both devices, tried forcing a manual sync from each to the other, all to no avail. Any ideas on what I need to do differently? TIA.

My work is trying to fire me because they say Firefox was mirroring my activity at home and vice versa. I.E If I opened a tab at home it when then open a tab and attempt to connect to same website on my work computer in the office.

I’m fairly certain it doesn’t cause that would be wildly unnecessary for what sync tabs is trying to accomplish but I used wireshark to watch for outgoing connections on my home desktop and opened a tab on my phone and my personal laptop and wireshark never detected outgoing connections to the tabs on other devices

Had to complete reset my PC after a bad hardware issue, everything completely wiped but I managed to get the older key4 and logins.json folders, unfortnately their encrypted... Is there anyway to sync them back up? So I can import all the passwords back onto my profile.
