To sync your data between Firefox desktop and Firefox mobile (specifically Android), you can use a simple pairing method involving a QR code.
Here's a step-by-step guide based on the pairing process:
Syncing Firefox Desktop and Mobile
Syncing Firefox across your devices ensures that your bookmarks, passwords, history, and other data are accessible wherever you use Firefox. One straightforward method involves pairing your devices using a QR code.
Steps to Sync Using QR Code:
Follow these steps to pair your Firefox desktop browser with your Firefox for Android app:
-
On Your Firefox Desktop:
- Access the pairing page by visiting firefox.com/pair.
- Once on the page, click the "Get started" button. This will typically display a QR code on your desktop screen.
-
On Your Firefox for Android App:
- Tap the menu button (usually three vertical or horizontal dots).
- Tap "Sync and save your data".
- Tap "Ready to scan". This will open a camera view within the app.
- Point your device's camera toward the QR code displayed on your desktop monitor.
Once the QR code is successfully scanned, your Firefox accounts on both devices should link and begin the synchronization process, sharing your browsing data.
This process makes it easy to keep your Firefox experience consistent across your computer and Android device.
