Hello,

Can you help me please to understand why my passwords do not sync using firefox sync ? I have several computers with firefox sync installed and configured, but passwords do not sync. On all of them, firefox is up to date (latest version) and there is no master password set. All is synchronised on all of them. When I sync, I get bookmarks and other stuff but not the passwords.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

MS

You can check the about:sync-log page for issues with Sync.

You can temporarily set the services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess to true on the about:config page to also generate a log on success.

To get more information in the log you can also set the services.sync.log.logger.engine.passwords to Trace (default is Debug).

Do not forget to reset both prefs to their default value to prevent generating log files with possible privacy sensitive content.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
