Keep your Firefox in sync

On this page:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-set-up-Firefox-sync?ESAB=a & s = Keep + Your + Firefox + in + Sync & r = 7 & As = s
is lame.

It not state, still less to specify, if the synchronization is one-way or two-way.

In other words. It synchronizes my main use Firefox on my main computer with other devices, so that they see what I've done on my main computer (what I want)

OR

It synchronizes what I do on each device with the other?

OR

You can choose which of these cases?

NONE of this is mentioned on the page.

AND there is no link to additional information or settings.

I guess I'll stick with XMarks (in which all this is clear)

(To add to my disappointment here, there no option to select to be notified of responses!)

There is no master device - changes triggered from any machine which will appear on all other connected devices.

    I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I can install on my main computer? In the only option of synchronization tools is "Synchronize now".

    Hi Rachel!

    There is no need to uninstall anything, both devices will share information and that there are no 'master-slave' logic on Firefox Sync. All devices are identical.

    Take a look at this article which explains how to configure your computers: How can I set up Sync on my computer?

    The important part is to select "I already have an account" when you set up your second computer.

  • I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?

    I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?  So much space being taken up on my iPad... there at - it a why to manage what are sync'd projects and ignore others?

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry, you have trouble. Here's a suggestion:

    1. launch Premiere Clip on a device and make sure it is not open on other devices.

    2. on the device, as it is opened, remove projects that are no longer needed.

    3. allow the synchronization of the application (leave opens and is not the bottom) so that projects are marked as being deleted on the service. A circle of rotation icon appears in the lower left corner of your device while synchronization is in progress.

    4. Uninstalling the app on other devices, then re - install and login to leave remaining projects sync.

    Please let us know if this solves your problem, or if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • Cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

    I had downloaded a game, and while he was full I tried to open it in order to play. After I opened my laptop hanged just for long time that I am impatient and decided to restart. Since then, I can't use Mozilla firefox because it does not open, but only displays the text "failed to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. ", but since that time, on my desk there was a folder that appeared under the name 'old data firefox' Please help

    You must locate the profiles.ini file and delete this file or use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.

    See:

    This problem may be caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file or with the permissions (owner) of the concerned files.

    You can use one of them to retrieve an existing profile or create a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to make Firefox create a new profile (default)
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
      If you have an existing profile, then click on "Choose a folder" in the Profile Manager and navigate to the location of a profile lost to recover this profile
      https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/managing+profiles

    You should find the file profiles.ini in this hidden place:

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      * C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/

    If the file profiles.ini compensation does not work then also check the location of the cache files.

    • Windows: * C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/
    • Linux:~/.cache/Mozilla/Firefox/

    You can also try to rename/delete the MozillaFirefox folder in the two above mentioned places (main, cache).

  • Error message: unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible

    I know that others have had this problem but none of the validated answers turned out to be viable. When I try to start Firefox, the browser does not open and I see the following message appears: "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I am running Windows 8.1.

    It's what happened leading up to this problem. I was passing through normally when I received a pop up message that says a threat has been detected, and Mozilla had a security patch that I have to download. This is the expedition of phishing malware believer, I closed the browser and restart the computer without having to download anything. When I restarted the computer, everything was normal and I googled for information on what had just happened, to see if I really needed a security patch. A forum suggested that I already have a virus/malware that caused the popup, and that I should deal with the possibility that updating Firefox. Then I refreshed Firefox, which seemed harmless enough. The update took the time, so I finally closed the window to refresh. Maybe I should let the window update but it was taken way too long - after that it's my problem to start with the error message.

    Since then, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I also deleted the profile folder in the hope that it would force the creation of a new folder. Nothing has worked. Someone has suggestions for Firefox run again?

    Thank you!

    Hi jbspear, please press the windows key + r and open: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    There you should find a folder named "Mozilla". try to rename it to something like "Mozilla.bak" (or delete it if you don't like your old firefox bookmarks, passwords and customizations) and then try to restart firefox...

  • On the OWN website of mozilla, I get the message "Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk!' but I just download and install the latest version?

    I have the latest version of firefox to date (15/10/2014 v32) and I still get messages while on various sites Internet (Youtube, Google, Gmail), telling me that your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk.

    I have not even this message on the support pages of mozilla.org?

    I tried the subject: config reset the useragent (s) fix, but it does not work.
    I tried browsing in safe mode and still get the error.

    Why this false/positive happening?

    Thank you

    Hello your useragent (information, the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently by mistake - shows this:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20140923 Firefox/4.0.0; xs-A30GTmfXR3o;CkHZPf;

    probably some kind of unwanted software has crashed it. Please refer to this article in order to reset the user agent settings in firefox:
    Sites Internet says that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version

    in case this is not enough, please try to reset the whole browser:

  • I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile,"

    A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

    You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

    While browsing using the Firefox web browser, all of a sudden it crashed it.

    I tried to re-open it. But it did not open. I tried to do this several times.

    Then I uninstalled and yet once installed latest version of Firefox.
    It's the same thing.

    Whenever I try o open Firefox, the msg - box says: "your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. »

    Help, please...!

    A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

  • When I try to open firefox, it says "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. » ?

    The reason why I deleted my firefox profile on my MAC and uninstalled firefox is because it was not appearing in the application menu or the dock and I have found whenever I wanted to use it. I couldn't put it on the dock or anything like that.
    When I downloaded again and tried to start it, there was the error message, "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "And now I can't use it at all.

    You must remove the file profiles.ini so because Firefox registers all the profiles you see in the Profile Manager in this file and delete the file on disk, Firefox will display this error message.

    Otherwise, you will need to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
