Frequently asked questions
Is Jaal a Firefox alternative?
For bookmark, history and password sync under an Ulkaa account, yes. If you rely on add-ons or want all synced data end-to-end encrypted, Firefox is the stronger choice.
Can I import Firefox data into Jaal?
Yes. The import wizard supports Firefox, including a direct password import with a CSV fallback.
Are Jaal’s bookmarks encrypted like Firefox Sync?
No. Jaal encrypts passwords and passkeys end to end. Bookmarks, history and settings sync to your Ulkaa account without end-to-end encryption, which is a real difference from Firefox Sync.
Do I need a Mozilla account?
No. Jaal uses an Ulkaa account, or you can browse without one.
