Hi,

I wanted to login to firefox from my android, but i realized that i forgot my firefox account password. I tried to reset, but it says it will reset all my saved bookmarks, which is the main reason i want to login into android firefox. Please suggest me a way to reset password without loosing my same bookmarks and saved password.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Suhas

Open the Firefox you are using. Open the Password Manager and look there.

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.

Hi

If you reset the password of the Firefox Account then only data stored on the Sync server is removed and you can no longer retrieve it if that is your intention. Data that is currently stored in your profile folder isn't affected.

You can/should backup your personal data and not rely on Sync.
