Firefox for iOS Community Forum

Hello,

I’ve been using Firefox on my iOS device, and I’m trying to sync my bookmarks across devices. However, it seems like the bookmarks from my desktop are not showing up on my iPhone. I have already logged into my Firefox account on both devices and enabled sync for bookmarks.

Could you please guide me on how to properly sync bookmarks between Firefox on desktop and Firefox for iOS? Are there any additional steps or settings I need to check?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I recently changed my phone and my firefox information seems to have transferred over icloud. I was having issues with the back-up and transfer at first, so this may have contributed, but I figured resyncing everything would have solved that. Instead, a password I created on my mac did not transfer over onto my phone and a lot of the time my saved passwords are just blank. Sometimes I can still tap on a password and it’ll fill in anyway but most of the time it doesn’t and when I go to manually transfer it I’m greeted with username (blank) password (blank). How do I fix this?

Two devices - MacBook Air and an iPhone. Both run the latest Firefox application, respectively. Starting with both applications having the bookmarks synchronised. Next, the bookmarks on one of the devices, say the laptop, are changed - some deleted, new added, overall bookmarks folders edited.

Question: How is it possible to ensure that Firefox synchronisation will transfer the latest compilation of bookmarks, as edited on the laptop, to the mobile phone application and not the other way round, undesireably restoring the preceding compilation, instead?

I use Firefox both on macOS and iOS. I have tried removing the application entirely from iOS, and yet old passwords are still appearing on iOS which I've deleted on desktop. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this would be an issue. I have disconnected syncs, signed out and back in, completely uninstalled the app.

When I try to sync and save from a firebox tab I get an error message that says it didn’t work and asks to reload. I try to reload and it doesn’t reload but keeps giving me the same error. I am trying to sync to my iPhone 15. Please help and thank you

Whenever I click on sign in after email and password it gets stuck on same page.

There is no response or loading after clicking sign in. It doesn’t proceed further.

There is a bug I think

Hello,

After reinstalling the app, I can no longer set up Sync since the accounts.firefox.com is loading infinitely. I understand that the iOS version is old but is there possibly a way to log in somehow?

My bookmarks & open tabs are not syncing between my Mac and iPhone. Mac Firefox version 129.0.1. IOS version 129.1. When I search help for how to sync, the instructions start with Select sync & save data from the Firefox menu, but there isn’t any such item in the menu. What’s going on here?

I am unable to sync pretty much anything from my computer. Below are the set of actions I did to try to force sync.

• Turn off Bookmark Sync in computer, press sync, turn Bookmark Sync back on, press sync. Checked my iPhone and still no bookmarks were sync (already pressed “sync” in settings).
• Log out of my account, delete the app, restart my iPhone, reinstall the app, log in my account, press “sync”, still doesn’t sync my bookmarks.

NOTE: I used another computer, logged into my account, and the bookmarks, password, auto fill in etc all synced to the second computer. Therefore, I suspect that this is the problem with iOS Firefox rather than Firefox server. I have also tried to use cellular data on the above two bullet points to no avail.

no matter what i do firefox mobile says sync is "offline" i did what the troubleshoot page said to do, i deleted and redownloaded the app, i logged out and logged back in three times on both desktop and IOS and nothing is working please help im tired of doing the same thing over and over again for an hour straight with nothing changing

Hello and thanks for any help you might offer me on the following.

Although I am signed into my Firefox account on each of my iOS mobiles (iPhone, iPads) I am unable to sync my saved passwords, bookmarks, tabs, etc. across my devices. On each of my devices on the Firefox ‘settings’ page, it says Sync is Offline” on the left side of the device screen and ‘Troubleshoot’ in red text on the right side.

The “Troubleshoot” link leads to a one-off posting in a Mozilla forum about a known issue related to ‘forcing bookmarks syncing’ (a one-time fix for a very specific issue that is a much more limited issue than the one I am trying to solve).

I have deleted the FF app and reinstalled it a number of times, I have used a laptop to use QR scan to link my devices, I have used my email and password (instead of the QR scan option) to try and link my devices, etc. I am truly at a loss.

This happened when I de-linked the FF Lockwise app this am and attempted to migrate my passwords syncing function to the FF app itself. I had read on the Mozilla site that Lockwise was now considered an out of date option for syncing and that it was no longer supported by FF. It seems that I made the mistake of messing with something that was working fine up until then.

Please help…. Thank you.

Sync is offline on my iPhone. I re-installed Firefox. I tried the trouble-shooting article provided; however, that is not working. Now I don't have my passwords nor any of my bookmarks. How can I fix this?

Does anyone know what causes Sync to fail in Firefox? I’m signed in on two devices with 6 to 9 tabs max open. My tabs don’t sync or send from one device to another properly. My history also doesn’t work. I just visited a site 2 minutes ago and all I see in my history is sites I visited 12 hours ago. I’m at my wits’ end and ready to find another browser. Please help if possible.
