When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

I wish mine would, I just spent the last three days updating 244 passwords to be more secure, and I deleted all the old ones in Firefox desktop, imported the new ones via a file into Firefox desktop, and it’s been three days and they’ve yet to show up on iOS or android mobile devices.
No amount of clicking sync anywhere does anything, lol.
Ouch, that's not good.
Have you tried force stopping and deleting the cache in Firefox for Android? Maybe you might need to clear its data and reinstall Firefox for Android again, which might force Sync to work. It's possible your profile is corrupted. You might well lose some settings if Sync doesn't repopulate, but it seems that you've already lost stuff due to Sync not working.
Yeah I tried that.
Cache first, then data, then uninstall.
Just nada.
I’ve tried logging in with the credentials manually, signs in fine but no sync.
I’ve tried logging on fresh in mobile, using that “scan to add another Firefox device” setting on desktop. Still nada.
Is there a possibility that it's an issue with the desktop Firefox? Maybe it's sending "garbage" to Sync due to profile corruption, etc. The passwords in your desktop Firefox work fine? Maybe try clearing its cache, if you haven't already, or go nuclear by creating a new profile, then set it up as you want, and adding your passwords, then using that new profile to see if you can sync your passwords, etc. Sorry, but other than that drastic action, I'm out of ideas.
One other thing, do your browser history and bookmarks sync?
Damn bro, you’re better than tech support.
Alright you’ve inspired me to try nuking it on desktop since I only really care about the passwords anyways and I have access to those in a CSV file.
Brb lol
*edit: okay nuking the desktop version and clean signing in with my account fixed it for Android! Thanks bro! It didn’t do shit for ~~iOS but that’s irrelevant since all the same passwords are stored in iCloud.~~ (iOS just took a little longer to sync over!) This is great, so appreciate you taking so much time to help.
