If you use Firefox on multiple devices, a free Mozilla Account lets you sync your history, open tabs, bookmarks and passwords on all your devices. All you need is an email address and password.

Set up a Mozilla account on your iOS device

  1. At the bottom of the screen, tap the menu button (the menu will be at the top right if you're using an iPad):
    Firefox iOS menu bar

  2. Tap Sync and Save Data to open the Turn on Sync page.
    • To sign in using QR code pairing:
      • Visit Firefox.com/pair on your desktop to show the QR code (you might need to sign in to your Mozilla account first).
      • When the QR code displays, tap Ready to Scan on your phone.
      • Scan the QR code on your desktop. Firefox will automatically sign in and sync your information.
    • To sign in using your email address:
      • Tap Use Email instead.
      • Enter your login credentials or sign up for an account (it's free) if you don't have one.
