Firefox update kills sync settings?

Today, firefox suggested "Refresh" for the first time ever. That went well, but it seems to have killed my sync settings. Sync now asks me to create a new account. Is - is this expected? I have not found clues for that behaviors in the documentation of refreshment.

"Refresh" removes everything, like a "factory reset".

However, your synchronized data is still on the server, on the "create new account" screen, there should be a link to 'sign' in to the existing account.

  • Firefox for android sync since 34.0.1 update

    Hello. Since Firefox updated to version 34.0.1, I can't sync one of my favorites of the browser. Whenever I try to open the 'sync' in the settings (of Firefox itself), it hangs and won't let me open it. Since the update. Even, I can't directly sync with android settings... it does nothing.

    Hi Ererer,
    Thank you for your question. Please try following, but make a backup of your profile first: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

    1. Remove the account from the device updated
    2. Go to accounts.firefox.com
    3. Connect once more

    Then go to your account settings on the android device and make sure that the synchronization is not disabled for the account. Also make sure that the automatic data synchronization is allowed.

  • after firefox updated to version 6.02, bookmarks, history and settings were missing. It looks like my old profile was replaced by a new vacuum.

    Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer. Firefox updated to version 6.02 yeaterday. When I then opened it, I found nothing, nor the software let me restore backup bookmarks.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Sync settings failed

    I copied on my custom workspace CS6 CC. When I opened my Dreamweaver CC, I got a bunch of missing menus warning messages. Then I advanced and clicking sync settings to see what would happen.

    Instantly, he failed and provided without warning.

    So I went back again to the default workspace initial, deleted my custom files in the workspace folder, Dreamerweaver closed and reopened. Now in sync settings, I get a message failed to sync settings. I advanced and applications managed and cleaned my settings online Dreamweaver thinking it was the cause. I closed and reopened Dreamwweaver only to see the synchronization with a mark of exlimation icon and the same message when you click "synchronize settings Fail."

    I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled, Dreamweaver even updated with the latest patch 06/18/2013 13:06

    Still have the same problems of synchronization configuration failed.

    Other applications of CC with synchronization settings work as expected.

    "" Well, really there ' didn't work as expected "as I thought.

    Allright, so here's the deal:

    1. launch Dw (for the first time after the machine is restarted).

    > Everything works fine.

    2. close the Dw.

    3. start again.

    > Synchronization settings has failed once again (exclamation mark, grayed out, as before).

    Here is a workaround after all:

    I found, off Dw, killing the process windows CEPServiceManager.exe fixes this bug.

    It is automatically restarted after a few moments anyway.

    If something goes astray when Dw stops?

  • I restored Firefox to its default settings, but the slowness, crashing and nonresponse are not resolved

    Hello colleagues-Firefox users.

    I followed the Commission indicated in the Support article on the slow, crash, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems go away. The remains of the slow browser and still gives me error messages on a non-compliant script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu on the top tool bar items, I was so used to using, such as file, editing, display, etc.. I very often used the display menu to zoom on texts that are too small for me to read. Now I can not do. I tried to drag icons in the menu on the upper right of the page on the top tool bar above the address bar, but it is not the same thing as what I used to use before, and there is no File, Edit, View, tools in the menu icons. So now I see my g-mail Inbox in tiny little characters. I tried to use the Magnifier suggested in the troubleshooting of support page, but it's too heavy so I gave up.

    Would someone kindly please help me with these questions? Thank you much in advance.

    Kind regards
    Tom Graciano (globmart)

    If the zoom is your problem so just try to use the keyboard.
    Hold down the control (Ctrl) key + "+" to zoom in any window.
    Otherwise if the crash occurs suddenly so just try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox with the update. You brought a lot of changes manually, it might create problem. So reinstall once and check whether it is at your service.

  • My windows 8.1 does not work with the new Firefox update. It worked before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

    After Firefox updated itself automatically, Firefox would not work. I couldn't go online on Firefox because it doesn't open at all. The old Firefox worked.

    You may have seen this article during the process to submit your question, but just in case:

    Are you familiar with Windows Task Manager? It allows to determine whether Firefox is present in memory and to cease so that you can try to start again.

    To access the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You will need to approve the program to make changes to your system. The 'Applications' tab usually has an entry for every visible window. I guess that Firefox will not be there, but if it is and you do not see the window, it's a different problem.

    The "Process" tab will list firefox.exe if Firefox is running in memory, or if it has started and stalled. If it is just sitting there, click it, and then use it button end process to kill him.

    Then, try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    A small dialog box should appear. In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Does it work?

  • How can I stop Firefox update itself if it will disable one or more modules that are essential for me?

    I am running Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows XP (SP3). As part of my KASPERSKY INTERNET Security 2013 the following modules (all 13.0.1.4250 versions) are installed (a) keyboard Kaspersky URL Advisor (b) of the content blocker (c) money safe and (d) virtual. They were all active and active when the KIS was installed on 17/02/2013, but a Firefox update has disabled all. I want Firefox to update only if all modules are compatible with him, otherwise the existing version should continue unchanged. How do I get there? What is the latest version of Firefox that is compatible with these add-ons?

    BUT here's a BETTER WAY, "Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows XP (SP3)" user--(ou, dele de moins, une réponse moins dédaigneux).

    Without fear, go ahead and install the latest version of Firefox. (Worm 21.0 from June 1). Seriously... don't be afraid. But, then follow the 7 steps below to get you back in the saddle with Kaspersky capable.

    (1) right click on your icon of Kaspersky. 2) click on "settings". (3) in the left sidebar, click on "Web anti-virus". (4) in the next panel, click the "Settings" button... "under"Custom. " (5) (put a check mark in the box "Check URLs" (and everything else you want to activate here). 6) look for the 'OK' button outside of the expert group (is not in the control panel; it is behind this), then click on 'OK '. (7) Finally, click 'Apply' (if you must) and again click "OK".

    Best wishes to you and happy computing!

  • After Firefox update, my gmails opens in separate instances of minimized windows of Firefox. Any suggestions?

    After an automatic update of Firefox, my gmails began to open in separate instances of minimized windows of Firefox. The old way was that any email that I clicked would open full screen in the same instance of Firefox and the same enlarged window. Any suggestions on how to get back to the old way?

    First of all, try updating to the recently released 15 Firefox, see if that solves your problem. Update Firefox to the latest version.

    If it doesn't, try resetting Firefox.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

  • How can I stop FireFox update?

    I'm a web developer. I need to keep several versions of the major browsers to test against. I maintain Mozilla 6 on my desk, but I intend to keep Mozilla 5 on my laptop and version 4 on a virtual computer. This morning Firefox on mt laptop computer updated itself, and I have to through the process of reinstalling version 5 everywhere again. While I appreciate your efforts to maintain a version, make my job easier, I still need to test against older versions. How can I stop Firefox update?

    You can find the settings of update here:

    • Tools > Options > advanced > update: "automatically check updates":
    • Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.
    • Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "tools > Options" If the menu bar is hidden.
  • Firefox update prevents access to the NAS web page

    Firefox is the likely cause of the web administration of a Buffalo Linkstation Live 1 TB network attached page being inaccessible storage device.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is every attempt to open the NAS web administration page after that Firefox updated to level to 3.6.6

    With some effort, this has been resolved. and it is the browser of the cause.

    Test with configuration as a result of security changes made no difference to the outcome of the error reported. It took uninstalling internet security suite to expose Firefox as being the cause. The default settings have been the "use system settings" option in the tools/options/advanced/network Panel. I never had the opportunity to change something in this space, because I started using Firefox, and when I installed the Sep 09 NAS, access via FF using the ip_address was the norm.

    However, when you attempt to connect using FF to the security suite 'not there' a proxy not responding error occurred, which was the point on the cause. The FF network Commission review, a manual selection of the proxy server and if no proxy for local connections was the required patch. He continued to work after security suite has been reinstalled. A jpg of this working configuration image is attached.

    In the last 6 months FF suffered a number of updates. One of those - most likely 3.6.4 or 3.6.6 - changed something in FF mode of local network connection management. In which case the same ip addresses in the address bar previously authorized were no longer allowed - all without talking to the user in the update until the condition occurred in operations.

    This is the second time a mozilla product did that for me, on the automatic update, and I'm upset that a good product may be contaminated by defects of design and testing in this way. Updates automatic for FF and TBird are off my calendar. If the effects of the end of a change are not complete and explained in detail - I don't use it. the pain of the errors that it is caused is considerable.
