Mozilla Firefox Sync is a service that allows you to synchronize your bookmarks, history, passwords, Firefox add-ons and open tabs with another Firefox browser. This can be useful when changing computers or syncing your browser settings between a computer and a mobile phone. To do this, you’ll first need to set up Firefox Sync on your main computer and then add each of the other computers you want to sync the information with.

In this tutorial we will be showing you how to setup Firefox Sync on your main (home) computer and then how to add each of the other computers you’d like to sync it to.

How to set up Firefox Sync on your main computer

  • Launch the Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser. On the top, you’ll notice a menu bar that says File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help.
  • Click on Tools and then select Set Up Sync. A window will then pop up titled, Firefox Sync Setup.
  • Click on Create a New Account. Enter your email address, choose a password, and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy by checking the box next to it. You can customize which information gets synced by clicking Sync Options then checking and unchecking which data you’d prefer synced or not synced.
  • Click Next. You’ll see a window that says, Setup Complete! Click Close to finish.
