If I wanted to sync everything, I'd do it. I don't need my browser telling me every time I open it that I need to sync. Either you tell me how to turn that function off or you lose me altogether.

Please update your firefox, you are using a version that is very old and out of date. If you don't want to use Sync, that's no problem, just dismiss any messages.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Is this about the (home) page that opens if you start Firefox?

You can find the home page setting here:

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

I'll just drop firefox as a browser if every time I open it I have to go through the same process of screens demanding I log in to sync.
