Firefox for iOS Support Forum

My logins are not, and have never, sync-ed properly between MacOS and iOS/iPadOS. Logins will sync Mac to Mac and mobile/tablet to mobile/tablet but never between the two. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox on all of the devices. I have tried turning off login sync and turning it back on in each of the devices. Nothing works. It never has.

It's such a basic feature, and it's incredibly frustrating that it has never worked properly.

Hello, thank you for firefox team support. Yesterday I saved auto log-in password on firefox browser preferences tab, but it doesn't match on web site. I used same passwords two times, both discurrected. Could you help this problem?

I logged in my mozilla acount on firefox on iPad and enabled sync. I can now see the iPad on the synced devices in my other devices (android and linux). In my iPad I can see all synec tabs from other devices.

However, my iPad tabs don't show up in the synced tabs of the other devices. I can't see them in the synced tabs in the sidebar OR in the my account section (clicking my avatar in the toolbar OR clicking my email under the hamburguer menu in desktop NOR in my android in the synced tabs tab of the tabs sheet.

iPad 7th gen, iPadOS 16.3.1, FF Daylight 29.2 (3120)

Desktop Fedora 38 Gnome 44.1 FF 113.0.1 (rpm)

Android Samsung A52s 5g Android 13 FF 13.2.0

I need to search a site that I saw on my Ipad, I dont search much on my Ipad so I know that I will find it there, cant remember the name but I know is there. The problem is that Firefox Sync puts everything together, Phone, Desktop and iPad. Any idea on how to see the History per Device?

version 113.2 — logged me out of sync

says “enter password to sync” i enter my password, my profile flickers back to the blank face and refuses to sign me in and now i have no access to my passwords, reading list or bookmarks

i uninstalled and reinstalled and it does the same thing but now it just says “sync to save data”

images included in attachment attached in order of what happens.

same thing happens on ipad.

Hi My firefox on 2 macbooks, Ipad and Iphone are all signed in and sync is on but the passwords etc don't sync. In fact, if I make any new account on one device, despite repeated syncing attempts, the passwords NEVER sync.

After Clean Firefox Install. I can login with Firefox (iPad) to Paypal. Login request consists of username, password and SMS which works fine.

After that: I log in to my Account ( https://accounts.firefox.com/) to synchronize my bookmarks.

From this time I have a login problem with Paypal. On the Paypal login page I can enter my user name and password. The option to verify with SMS is missing. Instead, a message: We can not log you in!

Safari works always fine. A log out does not solve the problem. Only a clean install and no login at accounts.firefox.com helps to solve the problem.

I have opened another Firefox account to test with a fresh account. Unfortunately also the same problem

But I need to sync my bookmarks. Any Idea?

But it is saved in auto fill, when i go to install a new Firefox on a fresh drive i goto auto fill and get pass enter it in Firefox and it says wrong password your gonna lose everything if ya want to reset it..

Such a Stuupid way to do things, sure we can set y’all a new password but we’re going to erase everything to let you do it, That’s Stupid..

Moving to a new system ya have to start all over, There is NO Password Recovery with Firefox..

Hi,

I have Firefox on my desktop, laptop and iPhone. The only device on which I do not have access to my usernames and passwords to login into my online accounts is on my iPhone. And yes I have set it up correctly with the QR code etc... By reading all the messages from other users, I'd like to know if I need to ditch Firefox for good and go back to chrome. Or will someone fro Firefox come up with the fix for that glitch. Waiting for a couple days. After that, Firefox will be history for me. And oh yes, I will talk about this every chance I get while on TV.

I will call this syncing actually it is not. I have lockwise on my iphone. I AM SIGNED INTO my mozilla firefox account on my laptop. I discovered my lockwise passwords were no longer on my ios device. Trying to sign into my firefox lockwise account and it tells me password invalid, laptop signed in? What i need is to get my firefox passwords back to my lockwise firefox account to import them to another password manager. can you help please.

Hello,

Need assistance transferring passwords and bookmarks from my iPhone Firefox browser to my PC Firefox browser.

Quick summary of how I got into this situation - my SSDrive on my PC crashed last Friday. I received PC back yesterday with new SSD and downloaded the Firefox browser. When it asked me for my password, I clicked 'reset' instead of (in hindsight) just retrieving my password from my iPhone Firefox browser. After resetting password on my PC, I received account recover keys, although all my bookmarks and passwords were deleted on that account. Nonetheless, all bookmarks and passwords are still on my iPhone Firefox browser which is not signed in. I'm assuming if I sign in to the new PC account, all the bookmarks and passwords on iPhone browser will disappear. Is there anyway I can export or transfer these passwords and bookmarks from iPhone to PC?

Hello, I have FFon my iPad, iPhone, and laptop. Does sync happen automatically on all devices? Or do I need to manually sync each device? For example, when I add a Bookmark on my iPad, it does not show up on my iPhone or laptop? I am expecting it to automatically but am wondering if my expectation is incorrect. Thanks! Dave

Hi I'm using Firefox on my iPad pro and noticed that while surfing on the iPad, my Macbook shows an additional icon to open my iPad Tabs on the Macbook. When I click on the icon Safari opens and shows the same content as Firefox on the iPad... I understand that this functionality (iCloud-Tabs) is part of the Apple system and is intended to share Safari content between devices, however I'm quite astonished (shocked..) that Firefox (and by the way also Chrome) tabs are shared in the same way through iCloud. Is there a way to disable this in Firefox (I would like to keep the functionality for Safari, and therefore not turn it off in iCloud completely)?
