Recently tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox on my Galaxy S10+ to attempt to fix a video playback issue without realizing that it would create a new profile on my account in the process. Is there any way I can transfer all of the other profile's settings or will I have to restart from scratch?

Hi

Firefox for Android does not have profiles in the same way that Firefox on the desktop does.

If you have reset your device or uninstalled Firefox for Android, you will need to start from scratch, however if you have your bookmarks and other user data in a copy of Firefox on a desktop, you can use a Firefox Sync to copy the data across.
