I have downloaded and installed the actual Firefox to the new computer under the ugly Windows 10. Now I want to take all the settings and history from the good old computer under Windows 7 to the new one. Both personal computers are connected via a router (Fritzbox). While installing on the new computer Firefox offered to synchronize settings et cetera with a second device, and asked for the mobile telefone number. Another device was not offered. Is there a solution or have I to transfer all data by hand?


PS: I am 77 years old and my eyes are not so good anymore. That's why I don´t use a smartphone

Hello wt4711! No need to do anything because everything on Firefox, passwords, history, and basically everything will get synced automatically once you get your new awesome Computer! That is if your logged in to your Firefox account which I think you are because your account is wt4711. Tell me how it goes and, Stay Safe!! Ps. If I helped, I would really love if you'd vouch(confirm) me on Mozillians. Vouch me here: https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/Tommy/. Thanks!
