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.

  • When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK.

    This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

  • Windows 7 sees my second monitor as "generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a new hard drive on my Dell Studio 540. The PC has a graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3450 and has a Samsung 226bw 22 "monitor on the digital output. This works very well, and has the resolution of 1650 x 4050. When I am running Vista (on the previous hard drive), I got a monitor flat 14 "old on the other out, and it worked fine (although at a lower resolution).

    I added a monitor AOC F22s + on the other output, expecting to be able to put this to the recommended 1920 x 1080 resolution. Unfortunately, Windows has developed the driver for this monitor "Generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution. To the maximum it will allow is 1600 x 1200, (as well as all other resolutions it allows) do not use the monitor at maximum capacity, which is the ratio of evil anyway, so the display seems tense.

    I run Windows Update, so have the latest drivers. I tried to install the other drivers, but nothing helped.

    I tried to unplug the Samsung monitor and restart the PC, so that the AOC, one was the only monitor it and he always had as 'Generic non - PnP' with the wrong resolution.

    Someone at - it ideas? I'm at my wits end. AOC support did not understand and could only suggest that the monitor was faulty, but the place where I bought it insist that it works very well and so no Exchange or get a refund (no restocking fee, which is a RIP-OFF).

    I really want to use both screens and would appreciate greatly any help that anyone can give. I hope I gave enough information. If I didn't, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Alan

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    It turned out that my VGA cable was wrong and that it was not send the right signal to the computer. The screen worked fine with a VGA monitor, but the PC has not said that the new monitor is a PnP I tried a different cable and it worked fine.

    Thanks again to all who have suggested things.

  • Cannot set up firefox sync easily on behalf of different funds (non-mobile)

    It seems almost impossible to set up firefox Sync. I try to use the synchronization so that my experience of Firefox is consistent between accounts on the same machine (IE Firefox in Windows and OSX - I'm under bootcamp on Macbook Pro). I'm not trying to use it for synchronization between desktop computers and a mobile device, which is the way Sync seems to be configured. Is it possible or I was deceived into thinking Sync can synchronize accounts Office betweem. I installed an account, but I can't use it because of the need to enter a few characters to pair a device I don't want to do. I just want to backup and sync my adds & history so why do I need a mobile device for it? If please put me out of my agony and tell me if synchronization it will be or not, and how I put it to the top (without any reference to a mobile device).

    OK, right, I solved my problem. I decided to just try to delete the account and start again. Fortunately, the deletion occurred immediately which meant that I could set up the new account. Everything I needed was someone say, just delete the account. This is the solution for this problem, if anyone is interested. I must say that this configuration of the synchronization is a poor real hash that has not been clearly thought through. So I say that it is a complete failure to Mozilla. In this regard, chrome is so much better and easier to use.

  • Cannot set up firefox sync and do not add a device option

    I am very frustrated. I spent a lot of time over the two days to try to understand how ocnfigure Firefox sync. Specifically, I'm trying to sync my iphone to my account. I downloaded two apps from the Apple App store, which are designed to allow me to do. When I opened both of these applications, they provide me an access code, which is divided into three sections, each containing 4 letter and or combinations of numbers, just that I see in all the articles designed to help me with this problem. However, I open my sync Dashboard and don't see ANY tab indicating 'Add a device', as the articles also say. If I click on the tab "I'm not near my computer" in applications (both seem to work identically) and ask me to enter my account and password synchronization of key information. I can't find an article anywhere and tells me that my sync key is or how to get it back if I forget ~! @!!!!!!!! Freaking please help me!

    Applications in the Apple App Store are not Mozilla and maybe I won't work with Firefox as Firefox has now left for Firefox Sync account. Mozilla has not all the apps in the Apple app store 3rd parties may, however, they are not controlled by Mozilla.

  • 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

  • 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 is frozen, does not and will not let me close iMac.

    A few days ago, I installed Evernote. Who made sure my iMac would never close or go to sleep or restart for Evernote wanted to continue to run all the time. Firefox has now stopped responding. I can't open Firefox, I can close, neither can I stop, restart or log on my iMac. I guess it could be related to Evernote, but I can't find a way to uninstall Evernote. I don't know how to go in Safe Mode on the iMac. Two months ago, I upgraded the software to the Mavericks and have had problems since. Safari is the only browser that works now. I read that I have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but do not see how, because I can't open Firefox to get help on the toolbar for Firefox. I don't see the toolbar of Safari. I can not open help and consult the troubleshooting information because I'm not in Firefox, I'm in Safari.

    Hello

    Looks like you have several programs blocked (not answer). Here are the instructions from Apple to "force them to leave" applications that don't respond - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411

    If you still can not shut down your computer after you try this, you can press on and press and hold the button for a few seconds and the computer turns off.

    It is likely that once you can shut down the computer and then restart it, Evernote and Firefox and other programs will behave normally.

  • Firefox didn't stop when I close, and it stays running but doesn't charge on the screen when asked. It says Firefox is running and will not let me recharge. I end up close with the Task Manager. Suggestions?

    See the above phrases. Firefox continues to run, but the screen cleared of Firefox and I can't restart from the icons.

    Hello

    Please see this. Please note that the precise way of closing of Firefox's file (Alt + F) > exit and would usually take a few seconds depending on the history of the parameters of compensation to Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Privacy > settings next to clear history of Firefox closing. If there is delay in a plugin, you can also try to complete the process the process plugincontainer and check if Firefox closes on its own.

  • Cannot access an external hard drive lost, encrypted BitLocker recovery key and do not know where to enter the password to unlock it.

    I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-Bit on a Sony Vaio. Worked great, seems awsome and rolls GOOS GOOS, for a new operating system. I decided to use the BitLocker feature that I wanted to use from Vista Ultimate, which was incredibly dificult unlike BitLocker in Windows 7, which is extremely simple to use. So simple in fact, I encrypted my external hard drive Verbatim 160 Gig where the original BACKUP files are with ALL my original documents, settings and files of the company are located. I haven't used a USB key, or don't have I recorded the RecoveryKey, I printed and completely loses it, I remember perfectly well the password I used. Problem is I have NOW, I can't ACCESS MY HARD DRIVE! When I try to access the hard drive it asked me not the password recovery key. Please help me, im in deep poopie. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...

    Hey thanks for the reply Kev, but I must say that I did and didn't. The new Windows 7 operating system has this feature built-in and it is much easier to use. So yes I did it, but I made using windows 7 have where, instead of download all the files, I just insert the original DVD of WIndows 7, I restart my PC and follow the instructions of recovery of BitLocker recovery key, and voila. The problem is that I've NEVER stored on this particular external hard drive recovery key. BTW: I tried to follow the steps mentioned by Mr. Vijay but inconsistent tool with my operating system (Windows 7 64-Bit) it only works with Vista (not 150 percent certain but close). Please correct me if Im wrong. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...
