• Firefox Sync gave a new facility with no priority of settings or default on an established instance

  I created Firefox on a new Windows 10 PC setup and activated my account Firefox Sync on this instance.
  When I got back to my regular desktop PC, I find that Firefox has acquired the new PC settings rather than on the new PC acquire the established PC settings.

  I was expecting the opposite to happen.

  While the installation of new PC would have parameters of age "more recent" the established PC that was put in place several months ago and on technical, the most recent stamp usually takes precedence, in this case, where the settings and installation dates are only minutes apart, that the direction of the synchronization must to were questioned and confirmed.

  Thank you.
  I did it via the proposed link.

• Firefox sync (Linux Mint 17.02)

  Hey there! I tried to set up Firefox sync. Remove the .mozilla folder in my home directory synchronization does not work yet to reinstall Firefox several times. I tried to use Firefox 41.02 and 42.0.

  Your first journal suggests synchronization completed. It has a few warnings bookmark weird and disturbing, but otherwise it's okay.

  Is there a way to permanently delete the search history stored in Firefox sync?

• Firefox sync calendar

  Is there a way to plan the Firefox sync with Android? Often, I have a web page on my desk which would be very convenient access on the road using my phone, but I find the synchronization happens only once a day, and usually it's too late.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I had a quick glance and I don't see whatever it is that I was sure would work. I don't want to suggest something that would not work or (even worse) break your copy of Firefox.

  That said, Firefox for Android is an ongoing project, and it's something they might want to consider. I feed it to the team so that they can consider for the future.

• Firefox Sync issues

  I have BIG problems with Firefox Sync. I have rearranged the books on the Firefox browser on my laptop, including other penetrating Mobile bookmarks. The changes would have disclosed on my phone. But nothing has changed.

  I don't know what the problem is! I tried to unplug the two accounts and raise them, but not only did it does NOT solve the problem with bookmarks, but now I can't change the options for that I want to sync on my phone AND my phone will not even update which is synchronized! It SUCKS!

  Is anyway to fix this? My laptop uses Windows 8.1 and my PC and my smartphone Galaxy Note 3 use 39 Version of Firefox.

  Anyone know how this can be corrected?

  Hi LEAPS2HI,
  Thank you for your question. As you moved the folder of bookmarks Mobile bookmarks, they then also will appear in the folder of bookmarks from office. However as they do not make duplicates I think that it can display in both files.

  1. Is mobile bookmarks file still there on the desk?
  2. Is the favorite of office yet on the Mobile device?

  Bookmark management is one of the best features requested for sync. I made some experiences and when you add a bookmark on the Mobile device will be added to this folder. However from the desktop you can move in and out of this folder. I moved one from a mobile phone to the bookmarks Menu and he moved to this folder on the Mobile device.

  First make sure that the automatic synchronization is enabled and you tried to make a change, and then click Tools > synchronize now.

• How can I force Firefox Sync to run now?

  My Firefox Sync fails to connect (error.login.reason.network) and I run through all the solutions available here as well as the audit of local LAN problems, but whenever I make a change I'm supposed to just for the next synchronization? How many times they occur? The calendar can be changed? There is no article of support to force a synchronization or it syncs on the observation.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/customize-Firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars

  As far as forcing a synchronization and 'see' the synchronization process has occurred, there are a sync button, sitting in the Palette to customize. The drag mode using customize the Sync button to a toolbar. When you click on this button Sync needs to connect to the synchronization server. The overview of the cursor the last synchronization: day and time is supposed to appear in a tool tip.

• Firefox Sync has restored after a mysterious Win8.1 'no - system restore' by ~ 1 month; addons lost and bookmarks in this period.

  Situation quite messy/weird here. I woke up this morning to find that my Win8.1 was reduced to a 1 month whose state of my Firefox Sync State. Bookmarks seemed to be updated but not the series of modules. I clicked the sync button in the hope it would refresh things on the last saved state to my e-mail last night, but he churned through and then my favorites, it was missing the last 1 month. I'm having problems with WIn8.1, too, that event viewer shows no system restore (and will not allow me even open the system restore) and event poster Viewer half a dozen updates Apps I never user as the only activity that happened during the night. Any ideas on wtf that happened here and how fix?

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

  • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore

• How can I remove wrong email for Firefox Sync on my browser?

  Hi all

  I use Firefox 37 recently. I'm new to Firefox sync and made a stupid mistake. I myself registered with my email account but accidently left a character. It seems that the verification email has gone to someone who has that email address.

  I tried to register on the synchronization with the correct e-mail and now I get the message:
  Merge the warning
  Another user has been previously connected to synchronize on this computer. Signing in will merge bookmarks from that browser, passwords and other settings with "... @mail.com '.

  Is it possible to remove the wrong address of my browser?

  Thank you

  Try to delete the folder of the armor and the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder and delete the prefs.js file to reset the prefs and may also remove the compatibility.ini file to reset the profile.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

• 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.

• 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.
