Hi, I use Firefox on my Samsung S21 ultra, I am soon getting a Samsung S23 ultra. I have my account synced so I know it will save the bookmarks and site passwords. I am assuming sync doesn't include app settings, shortcuts I have created on front screen and collecting I have made? Is there any way to back them up see I can move them across? Regards James

Hi

You are right in what you say, you will need to make those settings changes and recreate the shortcuts on your new device.
