I used to sync my history, opened tab and bookmarks from my Firefox Desktop. I added Firefox account to my phone settings app section. Then, Opened tabs>Synced tabs opened synced tabs from my PC's Firefox browser.

But, after a recent update of Samsung Internet yesterday, I don't see the synced tabs there anymore. And even the Firefox account isn't in accounts settings anymore.

Does anyone face the sane problem? How to solve this issue?

In the Galaxy store for my S9+ I find v11.1.2.2.

Alternatively you can find a previous version here

The same issue here. I need to switch to Firefox for Android until they will not return with syncing Firefox accounts.

yeah, I tried that too. I used Firefox preview for couple of days. and more interestingly, Firefox preview has added support for dark reader extention for the latest version very recently. dark reader extension switch to dark mode automatically. the only issue I have with Firefox is that unlike Samsung Internet, when pages load, it becomes white which is not pleasing when surfing internet in low light.

I'm running 11.2.1.3 on a Samsung Galaxy S8, and I too have noticed that Firefox Sync has disappeared since last update. I can live without synchronised tabs, but the bookmarks are a deal breaker.

Has someone installed v11.2.2.3 from Play Store? It is an update version of 26 may.

yeah I have. but it hasn't solved the issue though. first time I faced the issue, I deleted Firefox account from the accounts section. and found that Firefox wasn't in add account section any more. I'm guessing it's a problem from Samsung's side. when I noticed notification about the update, I hoped this issue to be addressed. but it hasn't.

I was also bothered by this move, but have since been using the Beta version of Firefox for Android. I have been very impressed with the Beta version, it is very similar to the latest desktop version and has been stable for me. I was not a fan of the current Firefox app for Android as it was several version behind the desktop version and I had issues loading certain sites. Give Firefox Beta a shot!
