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.

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. This is good enough, so appreciate you taking so much time to help.

Glad that I was of some help.
