can firefox sync please send my recovery key to my email so I can recover my data?

I built a new pc and formatted my old hard drive and before I formatted I thought to create a firefox sync account to get my stuff back, and I didn't notice I have the key recovery needed to do this.
firefox help would be appreciated

If the recovery key has been registered anywhere it would negate the need for a recovery key, because it would immediately make Firefox Sync precarious. The private nature of the recovery key, this is what makes it an effective form of security

  • Cannot set up Firefox sync on desktop - no recovery key and will not let me connect to get

    I downloaded Firefox for my new android phone and wanted to sync my office with the mobile app. When I went it said I had an account already set in place, but since I don't remember the information about this I just ended up changing the password so I could identify and then deleted the entire account.

    I have advanced and set up a new sync account, but he never gave me a recovery key. I don't think not that anything like that, but then the failure of the initial synchronization and I got an error message indicating the user name or password is incorrect.

    This happened twice and every time I went back and was over by resetting the password or deleting the whole account. But whenever I have go through the steps of creating another account never gave me a recovery key.

    I looked around and I tried following the steps to get a recovery key, but I don't have the ability to manage my account (perhaps because it was never entirely created and never went through an initial synchronization?) and I get an error message indicating the user name and password is incorrect, whenever I try to go through the steps to reset the recovery key. This is despite the fact that I can connect with the same credentials on the page of Firefox sync - for some reason any he just does not accept the normal browser sync tab.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and 13.0.1 Firefox version. No matter what help you can give me would be most appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for the last hours I'm trying to work through this.

    Hello

    Please see this for more details about the recovery key. You can also try to start over again using these steps (three parts): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

    If you are able to connect to the synchronization site which means the account still exists. In this case, you can try to delete the account, wait a few minutes and then try to configure the synchronization as described in the previous link.

  • Why Firefox Sync saying that my recovery key has been changed when I don't have another camera to change?

    I am trying to do my first synchronization, but the progress bar on the tab that opens does not move. I've left all night and still no change. When I click Synchronize now, a message appears indicating that I am using the wrong recovery key. I tried to use the same key and generating a new several times without success.

    I understood the question, FIPS prevented synchronization. Unfortunately, the error logs were not too useful, there are constant references to errors in connection with error.login.reason.recoverykey and no traceback.

    Anyway, once FIPS is off sync started working. This level of encryption is probably overkill for standard web browsing in any case.

  • Firefox Mobile sync gives me "incorrect recovery key. Please try again. »

    It is a continuation of this issue, which has been closed without resolution:

    http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/931089

    I use a custom synchronization server and get the "incorrect recovery key. Please try again. "whenever I click on"Connect ". The synchronization log that exists in the desktop version of Firefox is not present in the mobile version, so I have no idea how debug this further on my own.

    OK, I think I thought about her. There is a disparity of the bug/feature in Firefox mobile compared to the desktop version.

    The mobile version will only accept the most modern "encoded friendly" AES key. However, desktop version will accept any old rope, you give him (which he then turns into a key using the magic).

    There is a way around it. If you have a desktop version of firefox, you can get the mass of the key of the synchronization version. Just set up sync with your password. Then go to Preferences-> Sync-> manage account-> my recovery key. There is a version of your key mobile Firefox will accept.

    Unfortunately, it is now crapping on another bug and refusing to accept the URL of the server. God this thing is buggy...

  • flash drive crashed; Formatt required; any way I can recover the data?

    I downloaded a file to my USB key quickbooks.

    The first time that I saved the file to the flash drive errored out in the middle of recording.

    When I tried to access the file on the flash drive, I was told the drive needed to be formatted.

    Is it possible to recover the data on the flash drive?

    Thank you.

    Hi RexSweetwood,

    The problem that you are experiencing is very common, it is often caused by the pluging and unpluging the flash hard drive. In this case, you probably can't get your data from the flash drive, however, if the data in the flash player are very important, you can contact the manufacturer of your flash drive to ask if you can recover the data.

    In other words, in this case, you can easily get your fixed USB (the manufacturer can do it), but you probably cannot recover the data.

    Good luck to you.

  • Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

    Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

    Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

    The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

    It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

    If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  • Want the old data of Firefox, old PC died, new recovery keys will remove old data on server.

    I created Sync on my hard drive now unusable, with all my goodies of Firefox on it. I am now on another hard drive but when I try to set up the synchronization and recover my old data, he said that I need a recovery key. I can't get a so it generates one, but a new will apparently remove the old data that I want to do unnecessary synchronization. How to access my old data without a key?

    I was and am now running Firefox 28.0 on two hard drives.

    Hello, it is not possible to recover your old data sync without the recovery key, because the data is stored encrypted on mozilla sync servers and it's the only key to decrypt. If you have already generated a new recovery key and then also data on the servers was overwritten - so I'm afraid that this data is lost for good...

  • Please send me product key (windows 7 ultimate).

    my product key id

    [deleted by Moderator]

    It didn't say anywhere why he wants the key, I simply told him how to get the key that corresponds to the product ID if it has been read from the PC.

    If there a standalone OEM CD key extracted will be identical to the COA label. If there a SLP key then system recovery didn't need to know the key. You read more about the issue, that in fact he was asked. We do not know if the system is a large manufacturer based on the SLP system.

    Well according to our years of experience on these forums, it uses a non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate license.

    Thanks, have a nice day.

  • How can I restore my favorites with old Firefox Sync?

    I have sync key and password of the old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my favorites.
    Three years ago, I use Firefox sync, but as I put t use.

    You must connect to the synchronization using a 29 pre-Firefox version to re-establish a connection to the server and attempt to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your sync for Firefox 29 account. See this KB article - synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

    Firefox 29 + uses a hidden recovery key and no way to get into the old "key".

    Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync was not intended to be a cloud of data storage. It was created to keep synchronized multiple installations of Firefox.

  • Remove my firefox sync account and now cannot get back in.

    I've recently updated firefox 12 which seems to break my firefox sync and did not allow to me re - pair my PC or any other device to my account. To try to resolve the problem, I decided to delete my account. After doing this, I created a new firefox sync account on my PC using the same email address I used in my previously deleted sync account.

    It seems to work very well and so I tried pairing my iPhone (using firefox home) for this new account of synchronization. I used the password of firefox home gave me and according to firefox on my PC, the synchronization was successful. However, a minute late, my iPhone came with the error message "connection failed: unable to communicate with the server (503).

    I then tried to log in the Web site of firefox sync with my email address (https://account.services.mozilla.com/)and got the message "we couldn't log. I then clicked on the forgotten your password link and entered my e-mail address and received another error message "unable to locate the account. Please check username "!

    It would appear that the deletion of my account and create a new one with the same email address a stuff everything upward? I don't want to use a different email address.

    Have you tried again to create a new account to synchronize with the same e-mail address?

  • my iphone 6 is disabled. can I recover the data

    my iphone 6 is turned off after that I entered the password OK 'evil' has little time. I can recover the data that I didn't use icloud or itunes?

    I searched on the internet and there are some applications that claim to be able to recover data lost on the iphone 6. These applications true or is it a case of me having to throw this phone and get an android who has all the drama of itunes and iclouds?

    most of these applications is authentic, but you must first unlock the iPhone...

    If you only enter the wrong password several times, wait until you enter the password again, and then put it in the correct password.

    If you do not or you have forgotten the password, there is no alternative to 'restore' the iPhone as a sense new, you lose all the data on it. When you have no backups, they will be lost for good.

    Here's how this (method 3 recovery mode):

    If you have forgotten the password for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple supports

    After that, here's how configure the restored iPhone:

    Start with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • What is the different between firefox "Sync Key" and "key recovery"?

    The problem is: I can't get my data from server. I have my key to 'Sync', and I used it several times before, but now Firefox says its wrong. Are 'sync key' and two 'recovery key' names to a single key or its two different keys?

    There is no difference between tho two names, they both refer to the sync key that is used to encrypt data locally before sending it to the sync server.

    Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.
