Firefox Sync doesn't work yet!

Hello.

At a time where sharing or the sync'ing information is so important, the current Firefox sync service is a shameful disaster. What makes this worse again, is your persistent refusal to get correctly sorted.

Obvious as it appears your Twitter stream, this has happened since April, 2013.

Still, expect mobile devices to adopt Firefox OS. Yet you can't even manage your current structure of reliable synchronization.

Chrome sync'ing works very well and easily between my computer laptop and Android devices. It is also much simpler to implement.

I can't believe that you are unable to prevent the blade from Firefox. Enough dreaming of new solutions, until you sort the current mess known as Sync.

Hi FireDuck,
I suspect that some may sympathize with you and agree that synchronization is not a resounding success.

However, this is not the place to discuss issues related to development and will not receive any attention from the developer. Maybe post a comment to https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback

We may be able to help with synchronization issues, and have a series of articles for example

In my view, the development of the current system of synchronization stopped as a new more efficient system {profile in the cloud (PiCL)} is being developed.

  • Why Firefox Sync does not work on my home network, but at work?

    Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but for example if I'm at my desk.

    The internet connection in my house is fine, I can surf the web with this same Firefox on IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. also works. Connection to accounts.firefox.com works also, as Firefox for the sync account. Only the synchronization process runs aground. On my desktop at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that synchronization runs on this server, so apparently the network path between my computer and this server is free.

    After investigation with Wireshark, I see the TLS negotiation successfully, then packages the client was able to respond and after some time, the server closes the connection (encrypted alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between the client and the server. I have attached a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between the server and the client (sending pictures here did not work so I put on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).

    To exclude a possible configuration problem or bad module, I created a clean Firefox profile and logged into my account in Firefox, but this shows exactly the same problems.

    Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone will sync on my home network.

    Below, I will link two logs, a successful synchronization (corporate network) and a synchronization failed (home network):
    Sync @ Office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
    Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

    The problem seems to be with your ISP - you can refer to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118958 and they may be able to find a workaround by changing your diet or to help you configure a different MTU for the network.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • New Firefox Sync does not work correctly. Bookmark cannot be deleted. Tabs are not displayed on the desktop.

    I have two problems with the synchronization again. The first problem is that none of my bookmarks or tabs of my office are appearing on my Android phone or work phone reverse on the desktop.
    The second problem is I'm trying to synchronize my favorites of the beta version of Android FF for the non - Beta Android FF that worked well until I corrected to remove several bookmarks I have anymore. I want to remove them, but I can remove them only on the beta version and then when I go to the regular version none of the changes have been synchronized. If I try to remove them from the normal version nothing happens at all.

    One thing to check is the android device and new update of office are on the same synchronization. To check on Android is this (not recommended) Firefox Sync account

    The other thing to check is if the tabs and bookmarks synchronization options are on for both devices in the page manage account.

    Is this the case?

  • Firefox Sync does not work for Tablet Android Nexus 10.

    Firefox Sync works for 2 PCs, but does not work for an Android tablet. It is said, that the tablet was connected successfully, I checked the bookmarks and history options to be synchronized and or bookmarks, or history of the browser has not been updated on my tablet.
    No errors. Anything not came to the Android device.
    I tried with 2 different synchronization profiles - same story for the second profile.

    Please note that we are currently living with Sync server issues. Our technicians are working around the clock to the question of setting and ensure that it works at its best. The current option is to try to keep synchronized and if you are able to synchronize properly, we recommend to not not to sync more than once every 2 hours.

    Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

  • My 50 Firefox Sync does not work

  • Firefox + 29 (new) Sync doesn't work at all on Firefox 30 Aurora, works fine site in Chrome

    I tried to set up new sync with Firefox 30 Aurora, but it won't work because synchronization page simply displays an empty box. Inside this box is an iframe pointing to a location as accounts.firefox.com, who saw in Aurora is still a Virgin, but in chrome, I can sign up and generally it works fine. This means that now, I have an account, but I can't actually mount sync on Aurora because the synchronization page is empty.

    Yep, the bug with their server-side settings has been fixed now, to make it work!

  • Back to Firefox button doesn't work does not correctly when you navigate to the new Site

    When I open a page to a new site that I can navigate forward and backward on this site very much, but whenever I try to leave this site via the back button it shows as if there are no pages beyond this site, like the opening of fresh on this site page. This is driving me crazy so if someone could help this type of person not techno I would be eternally grateful.

    Yes, how the code page tab, you cannot return to the new tab Firefox's built-in page or a page that you want to substitute for it.

    Since this is your home page, you can use the usual methods to return to your home page:

    • Click on the home button in the toolbar
    • Press Alt + home keyboard

    Or you could try a different extension for the new tab page see if that solves it. For example:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

    After installing, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find Custom new tab and click on the Options button.

    It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See attached screenshot).

    I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

    Any improvement?

  • 30 FireFox sync has stopped working with Windows 8.1 Refresh?

    I just had to update 8.1 Windows and somehow, I got my old favorites expired Internet Explorer in Firefox and I lost all of my current FireFox Favorites and cannot bring them by the synchronization because the synchronization does not work. I need to return all the bookmarks I have saved in Firefox, the past two years. I tried to reset Firefox and from synchronization and safe mode still will not work.
    Will I get an email or how to find if a person pick up?

    You can restore a backup JSON here:

    • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore > choose file
    • Press the ALT key, or press F10 to display the Menu bar.

    There is a star as the button next to the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show bookmarks" button next to it to open bookmarks in a menu drop-down.
    You can find "Show all bookmarks" to open the bookmarks (library) at the bottom of the drop-down list manager

  • Sometimes it will work and then after I stopped it, and then it doesn't work yet. He said that it is the proxy server.

    The proxy server refuses connections

    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server refusing connections.

    It worked this morning, and now it is not working.  It keeps doing this me.  It will work, and then when I go to get on it again, it no longer works.
    
       *   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
    
       *   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
             working.
    

    Tools-> Options-> advanced-> network (tab)-> settings
    Click Auto Detect Proxy...

    See if it works for you.

  • Firefox sync fails to connect to the server.

    Firefox sync has not worked on my laptop for the last days. It fails with the error
    "Unable to connect to the server. Synchronize automatically retrying this action. »
    Sync works fine on my Android device on the same network. I tried to disconnect and reconnect my sync account and also tried to synchronize in safe mode without success. The error in the synchronization log report: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8834320.
    About: config the services.sync.clusterURL is not set. services.sync.tokenServerURI has the value default 'https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5'.

    Understand the problem. I had activated FIPS compliance on my software security device. Apparently, WeaveCrypto used by sync is not FIPS compatible. I disabled FIPS now and sync works fine. Bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443386

  • 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.
