• Firefox Sync synchronize after reinstalling windows.

  Afret reinstall I loged in Firefox sync and started to wait for the synchronization. Nothing happened. I tried once or twice, restart firefox, and sync still doesn't work. I decided to reinstall firefox with removing profile folder. After that, I loged in F sync and it downloaded history and etc., I created a few minutes ago. I don't understand why it won't download my latest profile news.

  The previous answer is outdated information. The 'sync key' (aka recovery key) last used in Firefox 28 with the earlier version of Sync. 29 Firefox and later versions (with Sync 1.5) can an implementation of the 'key' that the user never sees, which is created from the selected password. As mentioned above, if you change the password data in the synchronization server are wiped to allow you to continue using this account with a new password and to prevent your access data by an unauthorized person.

  In addition, you use Sync in a way that was not intended. Sync to synchronize the data of Firefox across multiple devices, not as a backup media for a device, as it looks like you were trying to use.

• Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

  After reinstalling firefox I can't use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account with the same email as my old account.

  After some research, I found this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ which I can connect with my old account.

  Now, my problem is that I want to retrieve the information I had in my old sync and I can't find a way to do it.

  In addition, because I lived the problems of severe performance using firefox, I deleted some files in my machine with Firefox (after uninstalling) including what appeared to be the location of the profile for firefox.

  What is really important to me is: how to recover my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?

  Thank you

  Hello, firefox 29 and up is using a different synchronization system which is not compatible with the establishment of accounts in the old versions.

  in this case, you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the version of firefox before 28, turn off the automatic update for the moment (in options > advanced > update), bind it to the old sync account (with user name, password & recovery key) and upgraded after you successfully restore your data in this way...

  Install an older version of Firefox

• Firefox Sync lost all my data after 3 months of inactivity. Can I fix this?

  Is this normal for Firefox Sync wipe data after a period of inactivity? Account.Services.Mozilla.org said that I use 158 KB of data. This sounds like the amount of data that a fresh firefox profile would be download Sync, or is it perhaps even my data?

  Is it possible to access the logs? There is nothing in my profile weaves/logs directory.

  Hi dismayy,
  There is a new synchronization service that was introduced in version 29. Accounts.Firefox.com is the place to sign in. sync your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  However, to access the logs are the same. With respect to the loss of data, please make a local backup to back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

• Firefox Sync: Unknown error

  I get an "unknown error" in Firefox Sync on my two computers. Here are the most recent error log:

  http://pastebin.com/17HCcAzu

  With the help of Pastebin, because the log exceeds the limit of 10,000 characters.

  These stand out:
  1412074958242 Status.login Sync.Status DEBUG: error.login.reason.no_username = > error.login.reason.no_recoverykey
  1412074958242 Status.service Sync.Status DEBUG: service.client_not_configured = > service.client_not_configured

  I think you may be affected by an old key recovery being stored. Is is possible to delete the account temporarily and connect to synchronize once more?

  I have also added to the 503 error, but it can be related [Bug 1073270]label bugzilla

• How can I restore my favorites with old Firefox Sync?

  I have sync key and password of the old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my favorites.
  Three years ago, I use Firefox sync, but as I put t use.

  You must connect to the synchronization using a 29 pre-Firefox version to re-establish a connection to the server and attempt to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your sync for Firefox 29 account. See this KB article - synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  Firefox 29 + uses a hidden recovery key and no way to get into the old "key".

  Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync was not intended to be a cloud of data storage. It was created to keep synchronized multiple installations of Firefox.

• Delete my data from a browser using Firefox Sync navigation

  Yesterday I started using a tab in Firefox for Android, but I accidentally spent in a regular tab. And a junk site got registered in my story and as semi-automatic sugestion... I have not found a way to remove these individual entries, I'm desperate so I deleted all navigation data in Firefox for Android. I use Firefox Sync and I still have my old data in my phone (it uses Ubuntu), but I tried and I can't get the old data in Android.

  I have 3 questions:
  -Is is possible to remove entries of the individual history and AutoComplete suggestion in Firefox for Android?
  -Is it possible to recover the old data of navigation in my Android device?

  Hello
  Yes and Yes.

  1. You can open a new tab and see the history list. TAP and hold unwanted history and select 'delete '.
  2. You'd have to synchronize the device on the account. Also you can drag to the story in a new tab and drag between history and history is synchronizes to confirm if it's there.

• Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one that uses the same email address?

  Hello

  I took off all my devices a synchronization of the old account and set up a new synchronization. In this process, I used the same as before email address.
  I have no use of my old account of synchronization, so the question is:
  Can I remove the old account from synchronization (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all associated data without affecting my new account of Firefox (and its data) somehow?

  Thank you!

  Even if you use the same email address the two synchronize the old and the new are separated. As long as you are sure that all devices use new synchronization then the old one is no longer necessary.

  Here is the main article for help on the new sync

    Why can't I synchronize my passwords?
    This is a problem of security and may be overcome in a future version of Firefox or synchronization. It is one of the reasons for some users can stay on the synchronization of the former. Both versions offer slightly different regarding how and what features they will sync.

• 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.

• I format my PC before formatting, I synced my story by firefox sync. How to bring it on newly installed PC?

  I had my laptop windows marker 8, but before formatting, I synced all my browsing history using firefox sync. Now, I reinstalled firefox on this computer. I want to know how can I bring back my history of servers in sync. I have my recovery with me. As I am not an expert please tell me. Thank you.

  You need three things to connect a 'new device' to your sync account.

  1. Username = the e-mail address used when you first set up Sync
  2. Password for this account.
  3. Synchronize key / key to recovery

  If you are missing one of these three things, you will not be able to recover your data from the server.
