Firefox Sync active but used to synchronize

Hello. I can't synchronize my old Surface Pro 2 on my new Surface Pro 3 Firefox.
Both are running windows 8.1. Firefox sync OK for over a year on my Surface 2 OK but I lost the password.

On SP2, I updated FF, deleted the old account synchronization and set up a new sync account. SP3, I have implemented the same account.
When I connect to the sync SP3 account, the message "synchronization will begin momentarily" displays but nothing happens.

Following suggestions from the forum, I made these changes both SP2 and SP3.
1. disconnect, then reconnect to synchronize.
2 delete the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder closed and possibly delete the folder of armor as well.
3 remove and re-create the account FxA. at https://accounts.firefox.com/settings

I also reinstalled FF on SP3. Same message, but used to synchronize.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Offspring again: problem solved!
Pending a response I connected again to Sync on SP2 and SP3. Same message "Sync" momentarily but no synchronization.
Then I noticed the menu bar missing on SP3 FF. While fixing that I found your Q & a on how to fix corrupted toolbar - go to Menu/customize and click on "restore default settings".
Who has accompanied me through the beginning of FF upward. I chose FF as my default again BUT this time on the next step that I choose to use Firefox NOT Internet Explorer. (on my FF 1st installation I chose it is because the choice of FF produces a message that IE cannot complete installation).
Makes synchronization of SP3 immediately synchronized with SP2!
Trusting that this hotfix helps anyone with the same issue.

  • I have a key to firefox sync. How can I synchronize a new device with it?

    I want to synchronize a new device, but all I have is a sync key and I can't find anywhere to enter the key of the synchronization. How can I do this?

    Firefox Sync (Aka recovery key) key has not been used since version Firefox 28. All you need is the email address used when you set up synchronization and the password for your account synchronization - assuming that you updated your account synchronization to a Firefox account after update beyond 28 of Firefox.

    And the former function of 'twinning' has disappeared, too.

  • I want to set up Firefox sync from scratch using an account I own which shows as 'already underway use'.

    I had a problem with my old Firefox Sync account (from work, using my work email address) and I want to implement synchronization using my personal account. When I try to set up synchronization, my only options seem to be "Create new account" or "I have an account". If I select Create a new account, I'm stuck because technically the account has already been used (I've set up Sync a few years before using my account personal but never used), even if it is not in use on any of my machines. If I select I have an account, he wants me to synchronize the device with a new one, but I don't have a second to synchronize. I want to use my existing account to set up the synchronization from scratch on my main machine. How can I get this done?

    on another note: firefox 29 that will be released at the end of the month will use a different account system (not compatible with the current accounts of sync), then it might not be useful effort setting a synchronization with the old powers now: synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  • iTunes recognizes my phone, but used to synchronize?

    This morning, I tried to sync my iPhone with my iTunes 5 because I had made some new playlists that I wanted on my phone. He wouldn't do it, and for some reason any, I think I thought that space was the issue, so I deleted all my music on my phone (from my phone), assuming I could just sync it upward, no problem. Now, my iPhone has only the songs I bought via iTunes and not the 530 + songs that I downloaded and I can not get to synchronize.

    It recognizes my phone just fine. This isn't a problem.

    I tried everything I can think of, as well as online guides as much as I can find more.

    I tried:

    -Restart iTunes, my computer and my phone.

    -Pok play with music in iTunes sync options, try to synchronize the selection of songs and albums manually, or deactivation and activation automatic synchronization.

    -Meet and reauthorizing my computer.

    -Enabled wi - fi sync, my iPhone does not recognize that my computer is actually available and not let me not sync anything.

    -Evolution of the USB ports and USB son. I have 3 cords and 3 ports, they all do this.

    -All about updating my computer, you ensure that iTunes is up to date (it is) and update my iPhone to 9.3.1 (was 9.3)

    -Check my device drivers laptop to see if it was updated (it was)

    -Put an end to all the processes to do with iTunes, rename the folder appdata sync, then by restarting iTunes. Did nothing.

    The sync button is gray and will not let me click on it. In my space used/available bar it says everything I use is 'other '. Under "On My Device' in music, he always says I have 534 songs even though, on my phone, it says I have 3 albums (the stuff that I bought on iTunes). In addition, after I deleted all my music, space went against 1. something Go on to 3.76, showing that there is more space on the device where I deleted everything. (I'm on Windows 8.1, incidentally.)

    Also, when I try to create a backup for this computer, it does nothing and says I never backed up this iPhone to this computer (which I have)

    I have not uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes or reset my iPhone. I'm posting here in the hope that I won't do.

    UPDATE: uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and it synchronized by wi - fi very well. It's weird 'other' space problem has been fixed, too.

  • iPod Classic recognized by iTunes but used to synchronize

    I just bought a refurbished iPod Classic (Genesis 6 160 GB). The iPod looks and works as if it was new. I connected the iPod on my laptop and iTunes recognizes it. However, when I try to sync the iPod, nothing happens. The load bar that say 'Start Sync' appears for a split second, then goes, and I get the prompt saying "iPod sync is complete." However, nothing synchronized. I restored the setting on the iPod and even made sure that I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, with no luck. My computer is and has been authorized for iTunes and I even changed the name of my iPod in iTunes, as it was the name of my old iPod, to see if he has made all the difference. Don't know what to do here, especially since the classics are discontinued.

    Some iPod Classic s even if ongoing renovation have trouble recognizing a new computer. The previous owner probably plugged his iPod into his computer several times. Kind of like when you connect your phone to the computer for the first time, the phone and the computer synchronization together. Even if you restored the setting on the iPod, I try and take back to factory settings, if there is still this option. Hope this helps, good luck

  • What type of encryption using Firefox Sync?

    Can someone tell me what type of Firefox Sync encryption encryption using on the server? This has not been answered in the FAQ.

    There is probably no additional encryption on the server. Everything is done on your computer before you transfer the data via a secure connection

    Of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Crypto

    The Weave password is what makes this work. Remember, your browser already knows your passwords and the history of the form: it is decrypted everything in your local memory. By using the password, we encrypt your information on your local computer. Then, we use industry standard SSL to relay information encrypted to the server.

  • Firefox Sync error message

    Hi today with Firefox 33.0.2 I was see an error at the bottom of the screen whenever FF is open. The message reads - "Sync has encountered an error during synchronization: unknown error." Synchronize automatically retrying this action. »

    This happens both of my laptops running the latest stable version of FF is 33.0.2.

    I am also using the latest version of sync using just a password and e-mail address to connect computers on behalf of synchronization, who has had no problems until about 3 hours ago.

    If I get the above error message, and then try to perform a manual synchronization using the sync tool the message will pass to-"Sync has encountered an error during synchronization: the Firefox Sync server maintenance is underway, synchronization will automatically resume." Sync automatically retrying this action. "

    Why I posted here because I tried the Mozilla @mozservices Twitter account to see if there is any failure or maintenance in progress, but have had no luck.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    See you soon.

    Edit-
    Hi again just thought I would add what I use FF Sync for is simply the bookmarks between 2 laptops and have never had this problem before now.

    See you soon.

    Hello Mr. News, I think that your problem was the same that the blacksmith had. There has been some work done on the affected server in the meantime. can try to restart the browser, Resync & report if the problem is still happening? Thank you very much...

  • Set up Firefox sync, reinstalled windows and now cannot get my synchronized data

    I bought an SSD and a new HARD drive and I wanted to get a clean install of windows on the SSD. Before that, I synced Firefox, but now I can't get back my info. I was under the impression that Firefox sync could be used for this, but now it looks like I'm pretty damn good insofar as find all my favorites and passwords and things. I tried to go in Firefox sync and selecting that I lost my camera. It gives me a very long string of letters and of things and when I get to the area of the recovery key, he told me that every time, even when he puts stuff in there himself, it is wrong.

    Firefox Sync is not a backup tool, it is only intended to synchronize the various facilities in Firefox with the same data.

    Thank you

  • Trying to reset my password Firefox sync, but reset email is never received despite many attpemts.

    I have a sync account. My password does not work. I had several requests for a password reset email, but none was received. There is nothing in my spam folder. I'm stuck. I have an account of my key synchronization (from the old account synchronization), but I can't find any information on how to use it to reset my account. Very very frustrating.

    Hi mrauth,

    Firefox Sync has been abandoned in favour of Firefox accounts - so that users no longer have to worry about the keys to Sync.

    You should be able to reset your password via the page Firefox accounts:

    Please let us know if it works, or if you have any other questions. Please also check that you are using the correct email address for recovery.
