Hey Guys,

 

I'm looking to start using Firefox on my PC (it seems much lighter weight), but if I stay logged into my Google account permanently from within Firefox, will my search history be reflected within Chrome on my Android phone?

If you are not logged into google through the Firefox browser then Chrome will not pick up the history.

I'm going to say the history will be different. I'm not 100% sure but I would think even if logged in in different browsers they don't share the same history. I use fire fox on PC but I don't have my Google account signed in. Or maybe I do since I'm signed into gmail on Firefox? If that's the case and using Google to search then your history will be different/separated.

Adam EL-Idrissi thats what I'm thinking.  My intention is to be permanently logged into my google account while in FF, so that I get all the benefits and history savings etc.  So since I'd always be logged in, I was hoping that the info will sunc between them all.

Darryl Gibbs in that case chrome on your phone and ff on your PC won't have the same history shown. If you use ff mobile and are signed in then you'd have sync history

but then Google Now is information starved.. :(  Damn my reliance on Google services!!!

Lol. You sound like a buddy of mine. I use as few Google products as possible and limit as much as possible what they can do/get at.

I know, its shameful.  I felt horrendously convicted when in one KH episode Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ mentioned that he uses Bing for his searches a lot nowadays.  Not sure if I'm brave enough for that switch just yet!

Given Google or bing,Google. With options,duckduckgo. ?

Is there a reason why you don't use FireFox Browser for Android and set up Sync?

Make sure you decide first what to sync because it will transfer everything.
