• Connection to Firefox Sync does not work due to "SecurityError: the operation is not secure.

  Hello everyone,

  I wanted to update my Firefox Sync account from the old to the new version. Unfortunately, the login page does not load on my laptop. On my Android devices, everything works fine, so I could already put in place the new account from there, I just can not connect to my new account sync on my laptop. I use Firefox on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit 33.1.

  The subject: represents the loading of the landing page as usual, but by clicking on the button connect does not load the login form, just blank white box. I asked my dear friend Google who gave me some answers (seems to be a common problem...), but none of them helped me.

  The debug console displays the error "SecurityError: the operation is not secure" directly after loading on: accounts? action = signin. Opening of https://accounts.firefox.com/signin and https://accounts.firefox.com/signup also results in the same error and an empty box white. https://accounts.Firefox.com/legal/privacy works fine as usual.

  I have not found a solution to work around this SecurityError so far.

  I found another answer which finally solved my problem! Apparently the subject: in the page accounts raise this error because I configured Firefox always ask before accepting a cookie. https://github.com/Mozilla/FXa-content-server/issues/1857

  Even when weird things, but now I have to work around him.

• I can not connect to firefox sync, the window does not

  I just do a fresh install of Linux Mint cinnamon 14 that comes with Firefox 17.0.1. When I try to set up sync, I can't go past the screen 'Pair device', even if the other device confirms that the code is correct. If I click on 'I don't have the camera with me', I am able to get into my account and password recovery key, but when I click on the 'next' button, nothing happens.

  I started Firefox in a terminal using 'firefox Pei' and created a new profile. This solves the problem.

• I had synced all my info (passwords etc.) in my old laptop, but today, when I connected my new laptop with my firefox sync account, I found my saved info.

  Before coming to my new place, I saved all my info like passwords, bookmarks etc in my old laptop and they sync with my Firefox sync account. But after that I came to my new place, I bought a new laptop. But when I signed into my account to synchronize Firefox in my new laptop computer, I have not found all of these bookmarks or saved passwords. What should I do?

  Yes, I would say that your passwords have disappeared. When synchronization key is "updated" as indicated in this part of the synchronization log that I cropped, the server is deleted user data because that data doesn't help. This sync key is the encryption key for the user data when these data are user devices that are connected to Firefox Sync. No one, except the person with the right key of synchronization (the "owner" of this synchronization account) can use this data data are scrambled.

  I'm curious to see the full text of the last two files sync-newspapers, 11KO and 38 k is a lot more data than usual for a synchronization log. On my 3 accounts of separate sync I usually see sync-newspapers of 3 KB to 8 KB when there is an error-. Problem is that this forum software does not downloads of files and do a copy / paste of that data in the response box to retain the formatting of line - makes it very difficult to read and follow the sequence of events.

  Sorry, we did not have an outcome.

• My Firefox synced the 'wrong way' and I need to recover my favorites.

  Wednesday, I opened Firefox on my computer WORK (PC) after a long hiatus and he recommended I update Firefox since I hadn't used in a while. He said he would preserve all my bookmarks, etc.. Did, everything was fine.

  Yesterday I logged Firefox on my computer (Mac) and then a minute later my bookmarks toolbar very detailed began to change and missing tons of bookmarks and seems completely / different disorganized. I myself am connected on Firefox sync hoping this would look again my WORK computer, but it did not.

  Today, I'm back on my WORK computer. I logged in sync since I assume that the Wednesday update disconnected me. And now my WORK computer resembles the same mess as my HOME computer bookmark. I wanted to sync the reverse - make my look of HOME computer as my WORK computer!

  How can I recover my favorites and that to happen?
  Thank you!

  You can disconnect Sync and restore bookmarks from a backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

  • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore

• How to find and change settings when Firefox Sync synchronize?

  As the XMarks bookmark Synchronizer deteriorated to the point where it is unusable, I transfer my Firefox Sync synchronization tasks. It seems to work very well, but I would like to know the settings (and if possible, be able to change) that determine when its synchronizations. Does sync (a) immediately, and automatically, whenever a bookmark is changed? (b) what FF starts or firm? (c) when I say explicitly that she? (I know that c is true, because there is a menu option 'Sync'). Where can I find this info?

  ~ Tx, Ken

  a. Yes, Sync will contact the server almost immediately after a new bookmark is added. A slight delay is built to quickly add multiple bookmarks.
  b. sync will contact the server at the launch of Firefox to search for changes made on other devices connected to this sync account.
  c. There is a synchronization toolbar button sitting in the range of customization can be used to "synchronization on demand.

• Connect another computer to Firefox Sync

  I have Firefox Sync on my laptop main (COMP1) and I added my iPhone (DEVICE1). This configuration works very well.

  Now, I have a new laptop (COMP2) and plan to retire COMP1.

  What is the best approach to recreate my connection to COMP2 and Device1?

  I tried to use this method, but do not think it will work once I have wipe ordi1:
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-set-up-Firefox-sync?redirectlocale=en-us & redirectslug=share-Bookmarks-Tabs-and-more-Your-Other-Computers#w_get-the-code-on-another-computer

  Steps followed:
  Connect another computer to Firefox Sync

  Follow these steps on the second computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.

     At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
     Click I Have an Account.
     Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
     Sign in to your Sync account:
         Enter your account email address
         Enter your password
         Enter your Recovery Key
         Then click Next
     You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.
  

  First of all, the various devices / computers don't connect to each other. It's a game Star connections; the synchronization server is the "hub" (lies in the middle) and each device / computer is a 'speak '.

  What you have described is the way to go, but you forgot a step - Unlink (prefs sync) Comp 1 before you wipe the data from it! Or disconnect your network connection prior to erasure. Either of those who will avoid the changes that you make to ordi1 to be sent to the server, so no deletion of your synchronization had given from the server or other device when they connect on the synchronization server.

• 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.

  You must use a very old version of Firefox if this version has always used a separate key for synchronization.
  29 Firefox and later no longer use a specific key synchronization, but derive the key to the synchronization of the password of the Firefox account that you use to sign in to this account.

• How can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not the master password for the Firefox links saves itself)

  (1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
  (2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master
  password for things Thunderbird stores)
  Just answer (Email removed by mod)

  You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.
