Key recovery Firefox Sync is lost. No solution on the net works. Help

I have a sync FF account. I bought a tablet. I want to synchronize the tablet. During the process, I am asked to provide a recovery key that I don't have.

Each solution that I find on the Internet is either aged two years or markets (Tools/Options/synchronisation/manage account) are no longer valid because an account is no more under the synchronization.

I need to find my recovery key, remove the account in order to get a new key, or stop wasting my time and take this process to a different browser.

Can anyone help without pointing to the same web pages, I've been repeatedly?

So, you were able to get the synchronization set up on both devices, correct?

The initial synchronization of each device may take awhile, like maybe as much as an hour (by one of the Sync developers) to complete, according to the data of types the user has chosen to be "synchronized". And if you have both connected at the same time, it could slow down the process. Sorry, there is no progress indicator to "measure" which was sent to or from the sync server. Sync is designed to operate entirely in the background.

Once the synchronization data are fully charged on both devices, the process is almost instantaneous from my own observation. Remove a bookmark on a "peripheral" and less than a minute what disappears from another device.

    Firefox Sync (Aka recovery key) key has not been used since version Firefox 28. All you need is the email address used when you set up synchronization and the password for your account synchronization - assuming that you updated your account synchronization to a Firefox account after update beyond 28 of Firefox.

  • Explorer Windows has stopped working. No solution on the Internet works!

    Hello

    So, I was faced with the problem of "Windows Explorer has stopped working" for six months. I'm mentally exhausted on the whole issue and I tried each * insert here * vulgar term on Internet solution (no, it does not help to update drivers, run cmd.exe, perform a SFC, install a win7fix and so on.) If there is a solution on the Internet, I tried).

So far, I only deleted KB2691442, as some people have had problems with this material Win Explorer, but it wasn't corruption update. Yes, I said corrupt, since he is clearly interfering with my system!

    When you install Firefox 7.0.1 there not all NET pages, tracks and the tracks of the search but can't find. I had the same problem with the latest versions of Firefox 6, but then Firefox 7.0 fi worked. I tried to update 7.0.1 several times, the IFS and the United States, I uninstalled 7.0 first and then after reboot 7.0.1 installed several times, but always the same problem. I use Windows 7 Ultimate in Finnish.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • The search for solution to the old ms help format lead to obsolete genuinecheck.exe

    I use a software which is absolutely essential for my work.  I'm in a situation where I need to read the help files for the old software.  This software uses an old help format that causes windows 7 to give an error "the help for this program was created in windows help format, which depends on a feature that is not included in this version of windows..." »

    I went to download the version of windows 7 to the help format that I need, but I need to validate my copy of windows 7.  I tried to download the genuinecheck.exe that I was directed by the microsoft site, but then I was informed that the copy of genuinecheck.exe that Microsoft gave me was outdated.

    The site I went to that was:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/exe-validation.aspx?ID=91

    It is a microsoft site, spewing a useless file right when someone like me is in terrible rights to our work.

    I literally hours complete my task of work and I know I won't get help I need in time to hit my date limits.  So I post this question with the hope that I can solve the problem after the fact.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    And thank you MS for F * ing me.  I can very well lose my job because of you.

    OK, I found a solution that works for me.  I'll go through the steps because it is a bit complicated.

    First of all, I would like to thank Komeil Bahmanpour, who has a blog entry which gave the greater part of the solution that I needed to solve this problem.  You can find the entrance to the criticism according to:

    http://blog.komeil.com/2009/06/Windows-Help-program-winhlp32exe-for.html

    For many of you who may have this problem, you'll probably be just able to decompress the .cab file, it has linked to his site and then run the .cmd file to work things out.  However, who has not worked for me.

    * What I did *.

    In General, I had to download the help files for work and then replace the non-functional regions.  To do this I had to change ownership and permissions of the existing files.

    I downloaded the .cab files that contains the file winhlp32.exe and winhlp32.exe.mui for 64-bit windows machines 7.

    I opened windows Explorer and place it in the main c: directory

    I typed "winhlp32" in the search box.  It gave me all the files and folders that started with this name.

    Note: I tried to rename the existing winhlp32.exe and win32.exe.mui files, but it did not work because permission to files did not belong to the administrators.  Rather it is strangely belonged to the so-called "Trusted install."  So I had to change the owner to administrators (and give administrators the appropriate authority) to rename these files.  Here's how I did this:

    I right click on the files which permissions I wanted to change in all existing places that they were currently on my computer.  Clicked on properties.  Clicked the safety.  Click Advanced.  Click owner.  Clicked on edit and change the owner of the files to administrators. Here, I went back to the 'security' tab and clicked on "Edit" after the words "to change permissions, click Edit.  I checked the box full control for administrators.

    I also had to go through the process described above for folders files have been confined in. (help files do not work correctly without also changing the ownership and permissions of the folders as well)

    I renamed the original files (so I could change them back if something bad happens).  I wrote that the files downloaded in the same directories renamed files were in.

    I ran my program using old file system and everything worked!

    OK thanks to those who have already given this answer and thank you again once to angeline for this blog entry that gave me most of what I needed to fix this.  My work assignment go expiry date and you deserve the honours.

  • I have a Firefox sync to a device key I have anymore, how can I sync my new camera?

  • 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.

  • Connect another computer to Firefox Sync

    I have Firefox Sync on my laptop main (COMP1) and I added my iPhone (DEVICE1). This configuration works very well.

    Now, I have a new laptop (COMP2) and plan to retire COMP1.

    What is the best approach to recreate my connection to COMP2 and Device1?

    I tried to use this method, but do not think it will work once I have wipe ordi1:

    Steps followed:
    Connect another computer to Firefox Sync

    Follow these steps on the second computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.

       At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
       Click I Have an Account.
       Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
       Sign in to your Sync account:
           Enter your account email address
           Enter your password
           Enter your Recovery Key
           Then click Next
       You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.
    

    First of all, the various devices / computers don't connect to each other. It's a game Star connections; the synchronization server is the "hub" (lies in the middle) and each device / computer is a 'speak '.

    What you have described is the way to go, but you forgot a step - Unlink (prefs sync) Comp 1 before you wipe the data from it! Or disconnect your network connection prior to erasure. Either of those who will avoid the changes that you make to ordi1 to be sent to the server, so no deletion of your synchronization had given from the server or other device when they connect on the synchronization server.

  • Cannot set up firefox sync easily on behalf of different funds (non-mobile)

    It seems almost impossible to set up firefox Sync. I try to use the synchronization so that my experience of Firefox is consistent between accounts on the same machine (IE Firefox in Windows and OSX - I'm under bootcamp on Macbook Pro). I'm not trying to use it for synchronization between desktop computers and a mobile device, which is the way Sync seems to be configured. Is it possible or I was deceived into thinking Sync can synchronize accounts Office betweem. I installed an account, but I can't use it because of the need to enter a few characters to pair a device I don't want to do. I just want to backup and sync my adds & history so why do I need a mobile device for it? If please put me out of my agony and tell me if synchronization it will be or not, and how I put it to the top (without any reference to a mobile device).

    OK, right, I solved my problem. I decided to just try to delete the account and start again. Fortunately, the deletion occurred immediately which meant that I could set up the new account. Everything I needed was someone say, just delete the account. This is the solution for this problem, if anyone is interested. I must say that this configuration of the synchronization is a poor real hash that has not been clearly thought through. So I say that it is a complete failure to Mozilla. In this regard, chrome is so much better and easier to use.

  • How can I keep IE and FireFox Favorites in local sync to my PC only, without the use of an external server or import/export?

    FireFox Sync is not an option, because the use of an external server is not allowed.

    Import/export is inefficient because it is not put them in the same exact place in every browser.
