Firefox Community Forum

Been pulling my hair out over this. Forced it seems to upgrade firefox so fine. I finally did.

Mind you I'm using an old imac running high sierra. IOS 10.13.6

I GOT firefox ok, but the prompt to import bookmarks showed me every OTHER browser on my computer except my old firefox where all my bookmarks ARE.

I found instructions such as.... (this is one of many,none helped.)

copy; Old firefox version 1) Right click top right menu icon 2) Bookmarks > Manage bookmarks 3) Import and Backup > "Export Bookmarks to HTML...

Right off the bat, Right click TOP RIGHT MENU ICON.

I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE! What "menu icon" are they talking about???

There IS a hamburger, (the three bars) icon, and under that is bookmarks and manage bookmarks. and past that is a short list of SOME of MY assorted bookmarks, but NO WHERE TO BE FOUND is any export, back up, import or any such thing.

I found earlier (and can't find it now) instructions on location through my mac library folder (there was a path to that I forgot now) but once I got where that set of instructions led, it did NOT give me anything to save, export, copy paste or any such thing. Useless waste of time.

I have been rebuilding a few of the ones I kept up in the toolbar ONE AT A TIME.... painfully, especially things I have to log into means RE logging in all over. ROYAL PAIN this is.

This upgrading nonsense is so frustrating. I put it off until I absolutely have no choice. THIS is why.

It's always syncing. Not sure if that is the cause for my containers to not appear from Multi Containers Addon.

I couldn't find anything in the journal logs.

How to restore my history password and addons? I installed a couple of other versions of Firefox and now I have lost the history and password and plugins, but I still keep the tabs.

I've recently updated syncing between Chrome and Firefox. One of my computers has all of the new bookmarks and registered the removal of some others. Everything looks good on that computer. On another computer, the new bookmarks aren't showing up at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and logged out and back in, but nothing changes.

The title pretty much says it - I have Chrome and Firefox on both my iPhone and my windows PC. I want Chrome to sync with itself on both devices (it does this just fine) and Firefox to sync on both (does this fine too). What I don't want is my history, bookmarks, etc. syncing between Chrome and Firefox. I didn't set this up intentionally but that's what they're doing now - my Google search history from Firefox is showing up when I open the main Google page in Chrome (on both devices). I'm not signed into my Google account in Firefox so I'm a little baffled by how this is happening. I have two completely different use cases for these two browsers and don't want them swimming in the same pool, as it were. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi! I bought a second MacBook, but cannot find any accurate instructions for adding it as one of my devices.

On the MacBook, I get the QR code page, but nowhere in the phone is the supposed "Sync" page to scan that code. I literally looked in every single area that I could. These are the instructions:

Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code

There is "Sync now," but that is only syncing to the old laptop.

I logged out and back in on the new MacBook, and now it shows in Firefox on it and my iPhone (Connected Services), but now the old MacBook is no longer in the device list on either the new one or the phone.

It would be so much easier to just have an obvious "Add a device" button.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

No security code is being sent to my email account. rlisterman@comcast.net

So I'm unable to open VPN on my new computer.

Why isn't this working???
