How do I use Firefox Sync data from my Android phone to restore data to my desktop browser?
I was attempting to cull some history, Firefox became non-responsive and had to be force closed. When it was re-opened, all my tabs which are typically restored were missing and I did not have the option to restore the session. According to sync on my Android, the last update there was about an hour ago, which would have been before issue with the desktop browser. How can I restore my info from my phone, ensuring it is not overwritten by the lack of data now on my desktop version?
HI Snickers,
There is an option to sync tabs. About:sync-tabs works on the desktop and can see the tabs from that device however this feature is not available for the mobile device. However from an active sync the current sessions are visible from the desktop page.
In order to restore a session you may be able to restore the session if it crashed. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026370#answer-644109 With these instructions]

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge. -
How do I use Firefox sync on my Android device with both Aurora and Release?
I have both Aurora and Release installed on my Android phone. I have set up a New Sync account on my desktop. I can log in to it with Release, and it syncs great.
However, my Aurora build keeps popping a "could not sign in" notification. If I touch the notification, it takes me to sync settings. I try to log in (same username and password), but it says "Could not sign in".
if I look in my Android settings, I have two "accounts" - one for Release and one for Aurora - and _both_ claim that they most recently synced 5 minutes ago! But I made an update to my bookmarks on desktop 10 minutes ago, and it's appeared in Release but not in Aurora. So the Aurora "last sync time" seems to be a lie.
The reason I'm on SUMO is that I don't know if this is a supported configuration. I remember with old sync there were some rules about whether you could have multiple copies of Firefox on the same device. Is this a supported configuration? If so, should I file a bug or have I missed something here?

Firefox Sync crashes on my android phone as soon as I press "Get Started"
FireFox Sync crashes on my phone (DOOGEE DAGGER DG550) when I attempt to get sync working. The button "Get Started" appears normally, but as soon as I press it, the application crashes.
Hi pitbulllady
I would suggest a) resetting the password on desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information#w_iaove-forgotten-my-sync-password-ae-how-do-i-reset-it_2 and then b) trying again on your Android phone or tablet
If the above doesn't help and since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:
# What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
# What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
# What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! including the steps in the video you followed)
Cheers!

How do I clear cookies and caches from a android phone?
I can't turn in a school assignment, tech support with my school said it was the cookies and caches.
Normally, you can clear Firefox for Android's cookies and cache using:
menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear Private Data
Select the categories to clear; you might not need or want to clear everything.
Note that on some devices, there is a dedicated menu button and Firefox expects you to use that. On other devices, without a dedicated menu button, Firefox displays a vertical stack of 3 dots on the right end of the address bar. Tap that to display the menu. -
Can I use Firefox Sync on a public computer, as I did with Xmarks?
I am going to miss Xmarks. How can I use Firefox Sync when I go to an internet cafe?
Sync doesn't allow this because the data is encrypted by the client — in order to provide web access we'd need to be able to read your data (or hand it over to the FBI!) and we don't want to do that.

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.Can anyone help?

Deleted my navigation data on a browser using Firefox Sync
Yesterday I started using a private tab in Firefox for Android, but I accidently switched to a regular tab. And an unwanted site got registered in my history and as auto-complete sugestion... I didn't find any way to remove these individual entries, I got desperate so I deleted the whole navigation data in Firefox for Android. I use Firefox Sync and I still have my old data in my laptop (it uses Ubuntu), but I tried and I can't get the old data back in Android.
I have 3 questions:
- Is is possible to delete indivual entries of history and auto-complete suggestion in Firefox for Android?
- Is it possible to get the old navigation data back in my Android device?HI,
Yes and Yes.
# you can open a new tab and see the history list. Tap and hold the unwanted history and select "Remove"
# You would have to sync the device to the account. Also you can swipe to history on a new tab and swipe between history and history from today after is syncs to confirm if it is there. -
Can someone please shed some light on this???
I thought i was resetting my son's iphone 4 so that I could use it. But I seem to have erased his icloud/apple id and all of his data from his new phone too. His Apple ID doesnt work and cant be accessed as it now says it is disabled. I have tried the iforgot.apple.com website without success and have no idea how to rectify. I have requested a password change to his email address but that is not working either.
Please help?That sounds confusing. First off, don't be too worried. There's practically no way to actually delete an Apple ID or it's purchase history. You should be able to get to it back somehow. Secondly, that's likely something that you'll need to talk to a real person on the phone for since it likely requires you to explain that you need access on behalf of your son, (who probably just set some security questions or an email address that you didn't know he put in.) Just call the appropriate AppleCare phone line (800-APL-CARE in the USA, or see the link below for other countries) and tell them you want to talk about an iCloud account security question.

Add another computer
Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
Enter your account email address
Enter your password
Enter your Recovery Key
Then click Next
You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account. -
How do I sync my data from a windows phone to an iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2
i need help syncing my data from a windows phone to a iPhone.
Assuming you have your Windows Phone data synced to Microsoft's Outlook.com, or even Gmail,
You can setup the Outlook.com or Gmail account in Settings->Email, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts->Add Account
And it will download all data from there. Email, contacts, etc..
Other than that, you will have to export all your data from the Windows phone, and then use iTunes to Sync whatever is relevant onto the iPhone. -
