Firefox Sync issues between devices

I first used Firefox on my Windows PC and then on my android phone.

I later signed in on my new tablet but none of my desktop bookmarks were assessable from the tablet.

After this, I signed in on my new phone and had to reset the sync password, and now nothing at all will sync to my new phone!

If I clear all app data and sign in again on my new phone, it just syncs the search history of the few sites I looked at on my new phone before I signed in!

I don't want to sign in again on my old phone incase I lose all of my bookmarks and history.

Is there any way to save everything?

Thanks.

Hi DarkIce.

If you made the password reset, the Sync content has been deleted. What you need now is to connect to Sync from all devices (computers, phones, ...) with the new password.

Hi,

So signing in on my other devices again won't delete anything on them?

Thanks.

No, it should not. If you want to be sure, you can backup all your data easily by making a backup of the profile, as described here.

Is there any way to do this on my phone where most of my data is?
