Hi,

Thanks for helping. Yes I am. The weird thing is that I sometimes works. Like right now. Works for a while and then stops working. When it doesn't work. I can force sync and everything. It won't ever do.

Hi Mohamed Adnan,

many thanks for helping. I'm quite desperated on this. I once again deleted some favourites. But I don't think I have 5000. And I think it wouldn't ever sync at all if I had so much.

  • Uninstall Firefox from your mobile.
  • Now you just have firefox on desktop, connect with Sync.
  • Install the firefox app on your Android.

Hi guys,

many thanks for helping! @Naheed ok, just did it. Before this I also deleted all application data. Now after re-installing, it's synchronising. I will see in the future if it helps.

@Mohamed I use a Windows 10 Firefox on desktop an an Android 10 Firefox for Android both regular versions. I now disabled battery optimisation for the Android client.

Have a nice day!
