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:

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.

I got sync Firefox setup on my computer at home. Now, I want to add my work computer to Firefox sync so that both machines will have synchronized favorites.

The Sync tab appears only if the Firefox Sync add-on has been installed, or you are using the Firefox 4 beta builds. Looks like you need to install the add-on Firefox Sync on the work computer.

Connect another computer/laptop to my WRT54G and it won't let me
Help, please! I am trying to connect a computer to my Linksys and I'm having a hard time. I open EasyLink Advisor and click the Actions tab and then go to 'add other computers on the network. It detects my router and invites me to connect the network cable to the computer I want to hang up. I do, and he tells me that the other computer is not connected to the internet that actually is. Instead, I just click next (he told me that if I can't connect to the internet just click then) and it configures the computer for more than 10 minutes. Help, please!
Connect directly to the router. Open your browser and type 192.168.1.1. When the router ask you the password, because it has not changed, leave the username, password is admin. You should see the router configuration page. Go to the Wireless tab and browse the SubTabs. Look for the security option.

WRT54G2 can not connect another computer
I don't know what I'm doing. I have the router configured on this desktop very well, but he is hooked via the modem to it. I have also the Wii work through a router very well. How can I get my other office to connect through the router to get internet connection too?
Is the desktop computer you want to connect to the router there a wired or wireless. If this is a thread, then you plug the Ethernet cable from your desktop computer to the router and you will be able to go online.
If your desktop computer is a wireless network, you must locate the "Wireless network connection" icon, it will be in the system tray, right-click on it and select "View available Wireless Network"... Select your wireless network... If your network is secured then it will ask you the security key and click Connect. Once you are connected to your wireless network, open your Web browser on your computer and check if you are online.

About 1 year ago, I helped set up Firefox on my mother's computer. It worked fine until a couple of days. Now, he is more connected to the internet. The system is Windows XP, service pack 3. Internet Exporer connects to the Internet on this computer. Also, I have another computer with Firefox and it works without problem, wireless. We tried to remove Firefox and then reload and which did not help. We receive no error message. Internet and Firefox simply do not seem to see each other.
Sounds like a firewall issue, seems to affect

I want to update my computer and made a Windows Easy Transfer to my new. My Firefox Favorites do not show on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync, which worked well. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, I can delete the old computer and keep the bookmarks on the new.
First, unplug your old computer of Firefox Sync, so you do not accidentally delete data synchronization, but yes, you should be good to go.

Set up my new laptop and smartphone grabbed me from the user names and passwords in all directions. I thought I configured Firefox with an ACCT. I know that I made the successful synchronization operation so I how do I know if I have an acct Setup. I certainly have one now that I had to register to get help. There are a number of different acct on Firefox?
Each Mozilla Web site or the service has it's own logins. This support forum, Firefox Sync services, the modules support forum, Bugzilla, etc.. I use the same username and password for all except for Sync, which has a different format, to make it easy, but each of them must be configure each one separately.
If you already have all that data saved in Firefox on an old PC, it is not all that hard to get this data into another installation of Firefox Office then use Sync "synchronize" these data with the mobile device. See this support article:

If Mozilla is server-based, why are my bookmarks/favorites not available when I connect to my account? Thanks for any help!
This must be provided. Firefox is not based on server it is installed on your device.
It is possible to synchronize the devices using Firefox Sync, but it is not appropriate if you use someone elses computer.
You might consider taking a copy of your bookmarks with you or placing them available somewhere on the web (or on a medium such as a memory stick).
- Use bookmarks HTML
- Export your bookmarks as HTML. Open this file with Firefox. Try it first on your local computer.
- See Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
- Noticing no need to import the file it will be readable in Firefox. It is not not searchable from the address bar or bookmarks manager, but it should be a useful list of usable and searchable.
- Use a Firefox profile on the other computer.
If you have Firefox installed and the permission of the owner of the other computer (it can be your own additional machine), you will be able to synchronize or migrate the profile details, including bookmarks. Or just restore a set of bookmarks from the other machine.

Or just delete my settings and data in the Firefox folder that contains my profile only user on this computer, leaving the browser installed, but does not display my settings?
I want to assure you that all my settings and data will be always saved in my account of Mozilla Firefox, so that I can install the browser on a different computer and be able to connect to my account to see all my bookmarks, etc..
Nevermind, I figured it. Thank you.
For users having the same problem, I just uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from this computer went to the start menu and searched %AppData%, clicked on the "Roaming" and deleted the Mozilla folder. If it won't let you do this, make sure all the things Mozilla are closed and uninstalled. You can always sign in your Mozilla account on another computer or if you reinstall the browser on the same computer.

Hi guys! Hope you're doing great!
I want to give some very important bookmarks to a colleague, but for most of them, I have the passwords saved in Firefox (Linux 14.0.4 LTS) 34.0.
I am afraid that him giving the bookmarks that I have downloaded onto my PC from the option import and export bookmarks, also give passwords to connect to them.
Is it that this will happen or it is authorized to send necessary bookmarks? I don't have another PC on which I can test that for the moment.
I searched through these recommended articles:
-Can I restore my favorites if they were registered to the same profile on another computer?
-Why firefox alters my favorites each time that I load it on another computer?
-How can I move all my favorites of different Firefox profiles in a field to organize them and then place them in different Firefox profiles?
-Where are my credentials stored?
-Restore the Favorites from a backup or move them to another computerThank you very much!
Thank you very much for the reply!
I wishyou a beautiful day!
