• How to find and change settings when Firefox Sync synchronize?

  As the XMarks bookmark Synchronizer deteriorated to the point where it is unusable, I transfer my Firefox Sync synchronization tasks. It seems to work very well, but I would like to know the settings (and if possible, be able to change) that determine when its synchronizations. Does sync (a) immediately, and automatically, whenever a bookmark is changed? (b) what FF starts or firm? (c) when I say explicitly that she? (I know that c is true, because there is a menu option 'Sync'). Where can I find this info?

  ~ Tx, Ken

  a. Yes, Sync will contact the server almost immediately after a new bookmark is added. A slight delay is built to quickly add multiple bookmarks.
  b. sync will contact the server at the launch of Firefox to search for changes made on other devices connected to this sync account.
  c. There is a synchronization toolbar button sitting in the range of customization can be used to "synchronization on demand.

• Firefox Sync synchronizes QuickFox Notes?

  I use Xmarks but does not work
  I was advised to disable Firefox Sync and then sync Xmarks
  Firefox Sync synchronizes QuickFox Notes, so I did not need Xmarks

• 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  The previous answer is outdated information.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.

• How can I make Firefox Sync synchronize manually?

  Here's my situation:

  I synchronize my bookmarks, passwords and extensions with Firefox Sync.

  When I start Firefox, it asks me my master password as Firefox sync wants to synchronize at startup and I set up a master password.

  So what is happening, I type a website address, the password Master dialog appears, receives the focus and I accidentally type a part of the address of the site in the password dialog box I reject using escape, and then I have to retype the address of the site.

  A solution for me would be to disable automatic synchronization (or least just after startup).

  Is there a way to do this?

  (I'm not afraid of the subject: config, but unfortunately he is there nothing that could remedy.) If not, could drop this as a feature request in Bugzilla, or as a UX question?)

  Note that you can also specify a time limit upward to 300 seconds through the services.sync.autoconnectDelay preference.

• How to stop Firefox Sync synchronization Personas?

  Firefox Sync keeps syncing my characters between browsers, which is a bit frustrating because I prefer to keep separate personas on different computers. I can't find an option to turn it off. Does anyone know how to do this?

  Sorry ' end this pref is added by synchronization only when the Personas Plus extension is also installed.
  services. Sync.prefs.Sync.extensions.personas.Current

  I don't see a separate pref for Personas in a profile where Sync is the only extension is installed.

  My suggestion is for you to post this question during the synchronization of Firefox / armor support forum here - http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_labs/products/mozilla_labs_weave_sync - and hope to see developers computer Sync and can put on a list of 'tasks' for this project, especially since 'Sync' will probably be part of Firefox 4 , rather than be an extension as it is now.

  I see 26 prefs that probably can be used to disable specific preferences or settings for synchronization, and I think I can disable synchronization of stored Personas should be as important as any of the others the prefs.

• I used Firefox Sync synchronize my favorites at 09:00, 15:00.At 18:00, I can restore the bookmarks synchronization at 09:00 and 12:00?

  I can use different bookmarks in an hour?

  If there are problems with bookmarks and you've lost a little so you can try to restore an older copy of JSON in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  If you've accidentally deleted bookmarks, then use "organize > Cancel ' in the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) to recover.
  
  Hold the button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the library (Bookmark Manager).
  
  That only works if you have not closed Firefox.
  
  If it does not work so that you can restore bookmarks from a JSON backup.
  
  This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose the favorites that have been added since the backup was created.

• installed on the new computer (Win 10); Bookmark icons disappeared

  I just got a new computer and installed the latest version of Firefox (04/09/2015) on this subject. I have synced my favorites since my previous machine, and everything is good except the icons for all of my favorites, are gone. I used the long, and those who are all gone. When I got the name, this text appears, but the graphic icons are not there.

  There is a response from support on Windows 7, but it's close Windows Explorer and I am sure that the locations of the files are different (in fact, I looked: he said delete iconcache.db, and there is no such folder anywhere in Windows) 10

  Anyone have an idea how I can restore them? Thank you.

  Sync synchronize bookmarks, favicons, they will be acquired that you use each bookmark for the first time on the new installation.

• After having successfully imported the My Favorites in Firefox Sync from my old computer to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

  I want to update my computer and made a Windows Easy Transfer to my new. My Firefox Favorites do not show on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync, which worked well. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, I can delete the old computer and keep the bookmarks on the new.

  First, unplug your old computer of Firefox Sync, so you do not accidentally delete data synchronization, but yes, you should be good to go.

• You just bought a new computer, Firefox, but Firefox Synch will not sync with my other computer for bookmarks.

  Two laptops have the same version of Firefox update.

  Nevermind, I guess... Suddenly, Firefox is now show bookmarks from another computer. FYI to all, it took more than an hour of synchronization, and during this time, there was absolutely NO indication to me that what was actually happening. That's why I created that, initially. Firefox, there SHOULD really be some sort of recognition by the user that the synchronization is truly something. Thank you.

• Will you ever add Sync for Thunderbird, as you have Firefox, so I don't have to re-create all my custom settings when I install on a different/new computer?

  I wonder if Thunderbird will never get the Sync option as Firefox has so when I get a new computer I can just install Thunderbird and connect to my Thunderbird sync account and it will automatically install all my modules, sort order preferences and see the theme of appearance, etc.. Which will never happen? I don't care about the settings of e-mail account, just the settings and preferences profile of Thunderbird.

  The short answer is no. my e-mail profile is about 20 GB in size. I just don't see Mozilla providing this kind of space for me for free. Can you?

  And I don't want by MB from my internet provider fees upl. ADOs and download all that is.

  The reality is this.
  Type in the start search box %appdata%\Roaming menu and press enter
  Select the Thunderbird folder and copy it to a USB key.
  On the new machine you repeat and reverse the copy, but also put a copy in % appdata%\local.

  Synchronization is complete, no web presence, no copy of your data in someone elses hands and it's a complete copy, not a bit here and a part of which invariably mess up.

• I got a new computer and installed Firefox, but do not know how to transfer Firefox bookmarks on the old computer.

  This must be one of the most common problems that people encounter. We receive all new computers every so often, and we all need to keep the old bookmarks when we get a new computer and install the new browser.

  I feel that I must be among the small minority of people who do not know how to proceed. My old computer is not dead, she's just older (he uses XP). I kept around until I have all the data out. Any help in doing this would be greatly appreciated.

  I am now using Windows 7.

  There are several ways you can do this:

  You can set up Firefox Sync for syncing between computers.
  Edition-> Preferences-> Sync... OR Preferences-> Preferences-> Sync...
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-set-up-Firefox-sync
  Advantages: Easy to use, once set up, keeps several devices synced
  Cons: Harder to define, requires Internet access, keep track of "Firefox Sync Key."

  You can export/import favorites
  Bookmarks-> show all bookmarks-> import and backup->...
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/export-Firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
  Benefits: Easier to transfer one time, can be done "offline".
  Cons: Maintain multiple devices synchronized in this way can be time consuming and possibly confuse / boring

• New Firefox Sync does not work correctly. Bookmark cannot be deleted. Tabs are not displayed on the desktop.

  I have two problems with the synchronization again. The first problem is that none of my bookmarks or tabs of my office are appearing on my Android phone or work phone reverse on the desktop.
  The second problem is I'm trying to synchronize my favorites of the beta version of Android FF for the non - Beta Android FF that worked well until I corrected to remove several bookmarks I have anymore. I want to remove them, but I can remove them only on the beta version and then when I go to the regular version none of the changes have been synchronized. If I try to remove them from the normal version nothing happens at all.

  One thing to check is the android device and new update of office are on the same synchronization. To check on Android is this (not recommended) Firefox Sync account

  The other thing to check is if the tabs and bookmarks synchronization options are on for both devices in the page manage account.

  Is this the case?

• I have a key to firefox sync. How can I synchronize a new device with it?

  I want to synchronize a new device, but all I have is a sync key and I can't find anywhere to enter the key of the synchronization. How can I do this?

  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.

  And the former function of 'twinning' has disappeared, too.

• new computer - how to get the old computer firefox bookmarks

  I had to buy new computer cause the old one does not stay on, and I want / need to get all my info from Firefox - bookmarks etc... on my new computer. I had everything backed up (supposedly) on a WD external drive and I can't have information out of it either. My other computer was 5 years old and I used Firefox from the start, so there is a lot of info that I desperately need.

  If you still have this old computer, remove the hard drive and put it in a USB drive enclosure - (should be available at most stores that sell new computers) and recover your data from the old hard disk Firefox.
