• I upgraded to Firfox 5 several times, been as up to completely remove the firfox and reinstal, I'm still getting messages that my firefox is not updated! If 5.0 is not the most up-to-date how to make the most recent version?

  WP 3.2 says Firefox is outdated, applications on facebook, I received an invitation for Google + and it said that my browser has not been supported, I had to go on safari to register.
  Yet when I click on "About Firefox" he says that I am running 5.0 and it is up to date. What is the problem with this dang browser?

  I just posted a similar problem to below. You told me the problem - thanks. My "browser wrong version" was caused by a former version being left in the "general.useragent.override" field number It would seem that this old version number would be removed after an upgrade, but the old version number is simply left there. I changed the field of:
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en - us; RV:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.18
  TO:

• Firefox sync, said bad recovery key

  I need to know how to recover my passwords and bookmarks/pin tabs of firefox sync. computer has been updated to windows 7

  What you did to save the sync key (aka recovery key) before moving to Win7?

  Without the right key of your data recovery on the synchronization server are useless and cannot be recovered. This 'key' has been used to encrypt your data as these data has been downloaded to the synchronization server.

• Keep your Firefox in sync

  On this page:

  is lame.

  It not state, still less to specify, if the synchronization is one-way or two-way.

  In other words. It synchronizes my main use Firefox on my main computer with other devices, so that they see what I've done on my main computer (what I want)

  OR

  It synchronizes what I do on each device with the other?

  OR

  You can choose which of these cases?

  NONE of this is mentioned on the page.

  AND there is no link to additional information or settings.

  I guess I'll stick with XMarks (in which all this is clear)

  (To add to my disappointment here, there no option to select to be notified of responses!)

  There is no master device - changes triggered from any machine which will appear on all other connected devices.

• I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I can install on my main computer? In the only option of synchronization tools is "Synchronize now".

  Question
  I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I can install on my main computer? In the only option of synchronization tools is "Synchronize now".

  Hi Rachel!

  There is no need to uninstall anything, both devices will share information and that there are no 'master-slave' logic on Firefox Sync. All devices are identical.

  Take a look at this article which explains how to configure your computers: How can I set up Sync on my computer?

  The important part is to select "I already have an account" when you set up your second computer.

• How can I stop Firefox Sync to synchronize the on/off status of the addons?

  I like that Firefox Sync allows you to synchronize the addons are installed in my browser, but I don't like that she insists on synchronization also their on/off status.

  I have a desktop computer, a laptop and a work computer, and I cannot or do not want to run all the addons everywhere. For example, I want to run NoScript at work, but I don't want to run it at home because I have something implemented at the level of the router.

  Do I have any options in addition to throwing the baby out with the bath water by completely disabling the addon sync?

  I found a solution on my own. I should have researched more before asking, but maybe that this will help others also:

  Edit: I've tested this and it seems to work.

• 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...

  Hey guys, can I still add/sync the devices by using FireFox 30 (including iCHOOSE to use...) and, if so, how/where can I do so (because by clicking the sub-title of the menu "Synchronize" FireFox both the toolbar of the browser "icon to sync" icon NOTHING [other that cause the icon toolbar synchronization annoyingly turn for a fraction of a second before you do anything else...])?

• Whenever I restart my Firefox browser, my synchronization information are passed and I need to re - implement synchronization

  When I put a synchronization using my sync key (via the option "Set Up Sync... ("in the Firefox 5 menu), everything works fine and all my data is synchronized. However, when I close my browser and reopen it, the 'Set Up Sync... '. "reappears now and the browser is more synchronized.

  Any ideas?

  Hi wouna,

  If you have configured your browser to clean browsing history after you close the browser, the configuration of the synchronization is also cleared. It of something known and will be fixed in the future.

  In the meantime, you can tell Firefox to remember your configuration after you close in the configuration of your privacy settings.

  I hope it helps.

• Firefox android syncs all except Favorites

  Firefox on android 4.0.3 continued history, tabs and passwords synchronization, but he stopped some time ago to sync bookmarks. Today, I created a new profile and a new account with a dozen of bookmarks for the tests. They easily synchronize on ten PC with Firefox 36.0.1.

  On android, I also installed Firefox beta and connected with the new account. It syncs history, tabs and passwords. But it synchronizes not doesn't matter what bookmark either, not PC to mobile, mobile to PC. On android, it seems no bookmarks "Desktop" folder, and on the PC, it appears no record "mobile bookmarks.

  Other browsers on android, like chrome and opera, continue the timing well.

  Today, only one account is taken from synchronization.

  What I tried before:
  'clear' in device - settings - applications - firefox,
  disable the fix Droidwall and Exynos-abuse,
  Uncheck sync preferably to bookmarks on android,
  reboot, re-enable the preference of synchronization of bookmarks.
  In addition, some involuntary crashes the device.

  Now, droidwall and the patch are again operational, but again the timing is ok.
  So no guilty factor is obvious. Maybe the synchronization server saw maintenance...
