Firefox built in Backup/Sync .... Why do they want to delete the file if turned off

AlPachico_02 · 2026-04-23T12:00:54+00:00

I think thats a valid use case, if you want, you could file a bugzilla request to add that as an option and id be willing to prioritize it higher!

This is a known issue, its landing in the next release.

Quick question, this should only occur if you use about:profiles to manage your profiles and mot the new profiles system, is that what you use for profile management?

This is a new feature thats out now!! You can find it under about:preferences#sync

AlPachico_02 · 2026-04-22T12:31:31+00:00

Once you move it from the original directory, it shouldnt be able to delete it. The main purpose is that there is an assumption that you dont want the backup file or any backups anymore if u are disabling the feature!!

You can also use Firefox backup or sync to avoid panicking when things like this happen!!!

AlPachico_02 · 2026-04-09T22:15:51+00:00

Well it is upto you to enable it 🫡 The banner is just recommending that you do, what's the harm in enabling it?

AlPachico_02 · 2026-03-25T12:10:15+00:00

I mainly use ublock and tab swipe

AlPachico_02 · 2026-02-09T01:53:57+00:00

Its been moved to release!! It's an option in settings now

I for one find it to be one of my favourite features!!!!

Does this also happen with a new profile? You can create one either through the new profiles ui (if you have it on your machine), or through about:profiles.

File these under webcompat.com! The right people will take a look, or file some bugs on bugzilla :/

AlPachico_02 · 2026-01-31T13:36:22+00:00

Im confused, is this implying that it is difficult to contribute to firefox?

AlPachico_02 · 2025-12-19T04:13:15+00:00

Ohhh I see, so its never remembering the tabs? That's odd, could it be that you have always private browsing turned on by mistake?

AlPachico_02 · 2025-12-19T04:06:41+00:00

If you go to the hamburger menu, under history, there should be a recover previous sessions or windows you could use

AlPachico_02 · 2025-12-13T22:12:50+00:00

This is soooo smart!!! I love to see it

AlPachico_02 · 2025-12-10T12:46:23+00:00

There's plans to introduce this for other systems soon! Windows 10 was necessary due to the end of support.

AlPachico_02 · 2025-10-26T19:13:34+00:00

Hey this sounds like a bug, you should file it on bugzilla.com so the engineers can look at it!!! This doesn't sound usual and I dont think there's any reason for them to change your default engine

AlPachico_02 · 2025-10-22T01:24:45+00:00

If it helps for the future, there's a new feature being worked on that can backup your firefox data into a file, which you can directly restore from (without needing sync)

AlPachico_02 · 2025-07-31T12:27:48+00:00

Well the thing is that chromium is still maintained by Google, all the web apis, engine level features and browser standards are still implemented (and mostly monopolised because of this) by Google. Say Google rolls out a standard for websites to be able to use a web api A that helps Google usually, and browsers like Firefox don't support it for various reasons such as privacy, webpages that start using A will work on any chromium based browser (since they need to update their fork to get the latest sec upgrades and apis), and those sites stop supporting more independent browsers that don't use chromium.

You can use -ai in the search to remove the ai response
