Firefox Community Forum

I'm attempting to set up sync between my windows laptop and my new android phone. The phone has firefox loaded, allows me to pull up the 'sync and save your data' page, allows me to choose 'ready to scan' and presumably successfully scans the QR code displayed on the laptop (the laptop prompts me to approve the new device). Then the laptop indicates I need to wait to approve it on my phone, and the whole process stalls. The phone continues to display the mostly blank white screen with only the "moz://a" at the top and the spinning blue circle in the center. Eventually the whole thing seems to time out and I receive an error message on the laptop saying "websocket unexpectedly closed" and "device pairing failed".

My two hypotheses are that either still having my old phone (which is being retired to at-home use only, and I'd rather not de-sync) still synced is somehow interfering (seems unlikely), or that something about the new phone's software is interfering in the sync (seems unlikely and way out of my league in terms of troubleshooting around).

Help please?

In current version of firefox when attempting to log in to yahoo.com I get the error message from AT&T:

Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over.

No error when using edge or chrome.

the crash report ID is dd1e4f07-c2e0-4372-be7f-e82820250128 this is odd, Laptop was running linux mint, i beleive 20. mate. i reinstalled to the latest 22 and then copied over my .mozilla folder since then FF has been crashing. so i opened it in troubleshoot mode and it still crashed. so i moved .mozilla over and let FF recreate it and its still crashing.

im not sure where to go from here.

here is the crash report. https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/dd1e4f07-c2e0-4372-be7f-e82820250128

Hello mozilla crew Just inquiring how to back up my bookmarks as I am thinking of updating from windows 10 to windows 11 and I am not sure if bookmark will be reset when I sign back into firefox on new windows 11

Cheers Skinny

Yesterday I could not access my account to view recent statements. It would not accept username , which bank insured was correct(as it is my account #). Anything I entered flashed an ALERT message that info was incorrect.

I'm looking at a screenshot which was submitted as part of a court filing that shows what looks like some sort of toolbar perhaps on a browser.

I'm trying to figure out just what it belongs do - what browser or such?

I've attached thepart of the screenshot showing the "toolbar."

Is this a part of an Android browser for non-PC devices - phone, tablet, etc.?

It looks like there's an address bar showing "jonpsalmonds.net" (defunct as of now because of horribly conducted court case)

I'm just guessing this is the standard top part of browser's window for a browser I've never seen before.

Any ideas?

Note - the PDF in which the screenshot was presented had a watermark - that's the faint lettering you see in the background of the image. Just ignore it.

Installed Firefox on my laptop. Already running on my desktop.

Whenever I try to open a link, I get: Get an app to open this 'microsoft-edge' link

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Is this Microsofts way of saying "Use Edge?" Can I change settings to make it work?
