Firefox Sync, two desktops computers and an android

I currently have a Galaxy S5 (Android OS) and your desktop running Windows 7. The two devices sync properly. I now have another desktop computer and I would like to sync as well. On the primary computer. I go to the synchronization options and select manage. I get to the page manage account. https://accounts.Firefox.com/settings On this page, it shows that I am connected and gives me two options. Change my password or delete the account. There are no options to pair a device, get a security code or do something else that these two options. If I go to a desktop computer that has not been synchronized and I select the sync option, then I have already an account, it gives me the codes to pair a device but as I said, I have no pair option the main computer. If I select I don't have a camera with me, I have an option to connect you with an account and a password, but she wants too, then a recovery key that even once, I don't have the option to recover. At this point, it seems that synch can connect two devices. I studied the issues and extensively used search engines. Most keep responses pointing to the same items on how to synchronize the devices and the instructions never apply to this particular situation. Still once, I come back to the appearance page manage them has more options as did not in all other articles.
I hope there is a solution to this problem.

Firefox 29 and later have a new synchronization version that uses an account of Firefox and use only the name and the password and no longer use a sync (recovery) separated key (the key of synchronization is derived automatically the Firefox account password).

The new synchronization version is completely different from the version that was previously used, and you must install a later version or Firefox 29 on all connected devices.
You can enter the name and password of the Firefox account on each computer to connect to the new sync account.
You can pair is more than a new device by entering a key to pairing on a connected device.

  • I just spent 2 full hours trying to synchronize Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even if I follow all the instructions correctly.

    I went to FIREFOX, CONFIGURE the SYNCHRONIZATION. I created a new account (address email, password twice, box for the General conditions of privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appears with the message "Set up complete! I've closed this tab, then went to PAIR A DEVICE pc, entered screen code that appeared on the screen to CONFIGURE the FIREFOX SYNC to my phone, and then click NEXT. The phone showed immediately (a busy area horizontal) activity, with the message "Waiting for device"... After 7 minutes, the default phone CONFIGURE the FIREFOX SYNC with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the default pc on-screen set UP SYNC with 2 buttons, set UP the SYNCHRONIZATION and a PAIR DEVICE. Somewhere in the process described above (I don't remember exactly where...), the pc asked me a RECOVERY KEY - which I could not find anywhere, either on the phone or the pc. I repeated it at least 5 times, always with the same result-no. Somewhere in the instructions, it describes a "manage the ACCT" button to Sync Accts - No. SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, nor the pc and the phone. My profile. : Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone... phone Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 Note is... Android version: 4.0.4... I am very good by following the instructions, but the help of Firefox Sync pages describe buttons that are NOT on my devices and the recovery of the codes that are NOT anywhere. Please, please help - as much time invested already, so frustration... THX.

    When you open the desktop synchronization page (Tools > options > sync) makes it look like the image below? If it is not so sync is not installed on the desktop computer.

    If that looks like then the other half would be to get a log of the aLogcat of your device when you try to pair the device. Follow the instructions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug

  • VMWare Workstation and HP desktop computers and laptops

    I hope that there is a list of HP desktop computers and laptops where I can use VMWARE (Workstation).  In particular, I have a Pavilion Elite e9180t and would like to install VMWARE and run 64-bit windows vista or windows 7 and a Linux distribution.  Shop HP and HP Support people were no help in answering this question. In fact, people said THAT NO support is impossible.  Since HP has a relationship with VMWARE, I can't believe that the answer is absolutely no, can't do it.

    I am too much in the market for a new laptop and would like to know can I use VMWARE on a HP laptop too.

    Everyone else is off this way?

    Thank you

    I'll answer my own question!  I installed VMWare Workstation on my e9180t.  I'm on Ubuntu and Centos inside the virtual machine.  In order to run the 64-bit linux distos, I had to enable VT support in the BIOS.

  • Cannot set up Firefox sync on desktop - no recovery key and will not let me connect to get

    I downloaded Firefox for my new android phone and wanted to sync my office with the mobile app. When I went it said I had an account already set in place, but since I don't remember the information about this I just ended up changing the password so I could identify and then deleted the entire account.

    I have advanced and set up a new sync account, but he never gave me a recovery key. I don't think not that anything like that, but then the failure of the initial synchronization and I got an error message indicating the user name or password is incorrect.

    This happened twice and every time I went back and was over by resetting the password or deleting the whole account. But whenever I have go through the steps of creating another account never gave me a recovery key.

    I looked around and I tried following the steps to get a recovery key, but I don't have the ability to manage my account (perhaps because it was never entirely created and never went through an initial synchronization?) and I get an error message indicating the user name and password is incorrect, whenever I try to go through the steps to reset the recovery key. This is despite the fact that I can connect with the same credentials on the page of Firefox sync - for some reason any he just does not accept the normal browser sync tab.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and 13.0.1 Firefox version. No matter what help you can give me would be most appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for the last hours I'm trying to work through this.

    Hello

    Please see this for more details about the recovery key. You can also try to start over again using these steps (three parts): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

    If you are able to connect to the synchronization site which means the account still exists. In this case, you can try to delete the account, wait a few minutes and then try to configure the synchronization as described in the previous link.

  • Start Aurora in the desktop computers and modern views?

    Is it possible to launch Aurora into the office modern views and at the same time? When Aurora first introduced the modern vision, launch from a shortcut from the taskbar on the desktop Windows always open the desktop view, while the launch of the tile to start screen launched the modern vision.

    Is it still possible?

    The office and the app (modern) "Windows 8 Touch" now share the same profile. This means that you now have access to the same Favorites, history, saved passwords, etc. of these two applications. However, due to a limitation of our profile system, you can't run both at the same time while they share a profile.

    However, you can run both at the same time if you first create a separate profile for each application:

    1. Start the Profile Manager, create a profile named "desktop", then exit the Profile Manager.
    2. Create a shortcut to start Firefox with these command line arguments: P - Office - no-remote
    3. Use the shortcut to start Firefox using your profile "desktop."
    4. Use the normal icon of Firefox to run a second copy of Firefox using your default profile.
    5. Set up Firefox Sync if you want two profiles to have the same bookmarks and other data. (Treat the two "computers" as two different profiles following the installation instructions).
    6. In the default profile, use the menu item "restart in Windows 8 Touch' to switch to the modern application.

    I'm sorry that this process is so complicated! We want to make it easier to use both applications at the same time, but we will have to make some very complicated changes to our code for this purpose, it is not likely to happen quickly.

    For more advice and documentation on the use of profiles, see this article from community on the use of multiple profiles.

  • Firefox sync between a PC and a Mac Yosemite

    My old Windows 7 PC is dying. It will only work in safe mode. So I have a new shiny MacBook AIr running Yosemite. I installed the latest version of Firefox on Mac, PC has 39.0, both on my home wifi network. I am connected to Sync two computers, there is a message saying that Sync will begin momentarily, but then nothing happens. What Miss me? Will there be another step in the process?

    Problem solved. I don't know what magic happened, but this am when I opened Firefox on Mac and clicked sync, it worked. Brand-pages, modules, etc. are all here. Thanks for your replies.

  • Versions of Firefox Sync for stable, beta and aurora

    I think of experimenting with the string "Aurora", but before I got what I need to confirm how Firefox Sync will work on several channels.

    During the development of synchronization and in previous versions as an add-on stand alone the synchronization version could be incremented and all synchronization clients will need to be updated to match before synchronization work properly again. Now that synchronization is built into the product the product you may not necessarily be updated only the sync portion to match.

    I'm likely to have problems with the sync if I'm running the beta channel (work/home, office computers) but aurora on my Android? I don't want to be forced to move to the same channel on all devices, just to keep my data synchronized.

    Y at - it somewhere that the status of synchronization across different versions/channels is documented?

    Is there a plan to maintain compatibility?

    The synchronization version should not change once again, as it happened a few times in the fall of 2010 and in the beginning of the winter during the development of synchronization as part of Firefox vs. being just an add-on for 3.5 and 3.6.

  • 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.

  • Problem with Microsoft account won't let me sync between desktop PC and laptop (Windows 8) custom settings

    Hello
     
    Synchronization of the custom (for example, my desktop background) settings does not work between my desktop PC and my laptop and vice versa (both running Windows 8). I use my Microsoft account (so no premises) on both devices and have already checked the relevant synchronization (which are lit) settings. In addition, I used the "microsoftaccounts.diagcab", however unsuccessfully fix tool:
     
    Troubleshooting completed, problems found:
    • Problem with the Microsoft account strategy: don't not fixed
    • Some settings have disabled sync: detected (which is false)
    • Customization have disabled synchronization (which is false)
    • You have reached the daily quota of the synchronization. The quota of synchronization fade gradually. Please try again later.
     
    However, as a matter of fact sync was working, after I had created and used a new account from Microsoft on both devices. so I suspect something to be a problem with my original Microsoft account. Could you please check this account on your site and let me know your results?
     
    PS My original Microsoft account (that I created there) is the same account that I used to connect to this forum. If you need more information, please let me know!
     
    Thanks in advance!
     
    Kind regards
    Victor Alberts.

    It worked perfectly for me:

    Follow these steps:

    1. Make sure that the synchronization of personal settings is enabled on all the PC associated with your account
    2. Go here and follow the instructions: http://skydrive.live.com/win8personalsettingsprivacy
    3. Wait a day or two
    4. Do this it fixes going in charms bar and selecting settings-> change PC settings.  On the accounts section, there is a link under your Microsoft e-mail account called 'Disconnect '.  If you click on it and follow the instructions create you a local computer account and then log off from Windows.  Once you connect with your local account, go back to the account settings and reconnect to your account.

    Solved all my problems of synchronization.

    I hope this helps for you also!

  • My Firefox synced the 'wrong way' and I need to recover my favorites.

    Wednesday, I opened Firefox on my computer WORK (PC) after a long hiatus and he recommended I update Firefox since I hadn't used in a while. He said he would preserve all my bookmarks, etc.. Did, everything was fine.

    Yesterday I logged Firefox on my computer (Mac) and then a minute later my bookmarks toolbar very detailed began to change and missing tons of bookmarks and seems completely / different disorganized. I myself am connected on Firefox sync hoping this would look again my WORK computer, but it did not.

    Today, I'm back on my WORK computer. I logged in sync since I assume that the Wednesday update disconnected me. And now my WORK computer resembles the same mess as my HOME computer bookmark. I wanted to sync the reverse - make my look of HOME computer as my WORK computer!

    How can I recover my favorites and that to happen?
    Thank you!

    You can disconnect Sync and restore bookmarks from a backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.
