Hi,

I quite always use the private browsing on my mobile (firefox nightly). Though history isn't synced with my firefox account. Is there a way to enable the sync ?

Thanks E. G.

Hi, I think there is no way to sync your browsing. Remember Private Browsing 

is private and thus cant is sync. If you want to save your browsing data,

you need to move to normal browsing.

Thanks Naheed for your answer, but normal browsing doesn't fit my needs.

I'm using private browsing in order to stop bothering about cookies : I accept all and when I close my tabs, they will disappear.

I'm using normal browsing only for the site I regularly visit and there I need the cookies. So the setting to clear all the cookies when I leave firefox doesn't fit my needs either.

Hi Emmanuel

What is the address of the website where this is an issue?

Seburo,

The problem occurs with every site, no matter the one I use.

Private browsing is not designed to retain history and Firefox Sync needs this to be able to sent it to another copy of Firefox.
