repeated sync account

in my netbook, I installed firefox and sync. Then later for some reason, I have reinstall the windows and firefox sync (with the different computer name).

Can you give more details about your problem?

Can not connect to your sync account?

If you have connected your current computer (device) under a different name then could still sees the old computer under its original name.

You shouldn't worry about it see you this current device (for example on the tabs of the other deices).

Note that you must account name (email) and password and the key to sync to connect successfully.

If you don't save the key for synchronization, you must generate a new key for synchronization and you will lose all data stored on the server.

    Mozilla has dropped support for "FirefoxHome" on some time iOS devices there.

    If you have a sync account when you have an iPhone connected to this account, you probably use the version pre-Firefox sync with a 3rd party app 29 [bookmarks-On-The-Go] -? on the iPhone - as well as older versions of Firefox on the working PC and the laptop at home.

    Please check that your other installations of Firefox are up-to-date.

  • Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

    After reinstalling firefox I can't use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account with the same email as my old account.

    After some research, I found this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ which I can connect with my old account.

    Now, my problem is that I want to retrieve the information I had in my old sync and I can't find a way to do it.

    In addition, because I lived the problems of severe performance using firefox, I deleted some files in my machine with Firefox (after uninstalling) including what appeared to be the location of the profile for firefox.

    What is really important to me is: how to recover my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?

    Thank you

    Hello, firefox 29 and up is using a different synchronization system which is not compatible with the establishment of accounts in the old versions.

    in this case, you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the version of firefox before 28, turn off the automatic update for the moment (in options > advanced > update), bind it to the old sync account (with user name, password & recovery key) and upgraded after you successfully restore your data in this way...

  • I can't access email to verify my sync account. Can I change the address?

    I had updated Firefox to 30.0 today and decided to use Sync.I had set up and was sent the email to verify my account, but have problems with my webmail TWC in which I can not access my mail . Is so I could change the e-mail address, or would I have to delete this account and create another with my Gmail address?

    Hello!

    Currently, Firefox Sync has no option to change your email address (perhaps because it is so easy to create and use a sync account). So you should delete your sync account and create a new.

    I hope that solves your problem!

    If so, would you please choose this answer as your solution? This would help other Firefox users to find help on the forums faster and more efficiently. Thank you!

    And of course, feel free to post if you need help!

  • Merge the old sync in the new sync account account

    I tried following the instructions in "How to upgrade to the new Firefox Sync" <"rel ="nofollow"> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync?esab=a & as = aaq >, but I seem to miss something."

    I reinstalled a new version of Linux (Ubuntu) with Firefox 29, so I have a new facility. My old firefox sync does not untie because I wasn't aware of the change. With the new installation, I created a new account of firefox and enacted the synchronization. Now I want to restore my firefox sync history and bookmarks. I have all the credentials for the synchronization of the former. But how I merge in the new firefox sync?

    Hello! I'm late to the party, but I hope it could help you or other users which can read this.

    This workaround is for those who have not yet upgraded to the latest Firefox 28.0 and still have their original Firefox profile. What you can do is:

    1. Save your history & bookmarks with MozBackup.
    2. Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.
    3. Restore with MozBackup Firefox profile.

    In this way, your Firefox history and bookmarks are available in the latest Firefox browser. Then simply sign up for the new Firefox Sync account and synchronize your data again.

  • When I try to connect it to my sync account, he said that there is no such user.

    When I try to connect it to my sync account, he said that there is no such user. I don't want to save again, as this is a perverse way to the creation of duplicate accounts. I also have an account password file to keep track of user login data: user name, email address, password, so it's not a matter of just forget the name of account etc. I've just updated to 29 of Firefox, this could be a coincidence.

    I use windows 7, with the latest updates and patches.

    29 Firefox introduced a new synchronization mechanism. This new system has existed only for about 2 months, so it is likely that you have actually not account. You can see the information for the new synchronization here: synchronize bookmarks of Firefox, history, passwords and more.

    Hello, due to the restrictive policy of apple it is unfortunately not possible to put in place and provide independent third-party browsers for idevices.

    Mozilla is against bringing the rendering motor & javascript in firefox on iOS, because apple only allows the use of its own webkit in terms for developers - as long as it does, firefox and the ecosystem of the addon can be ported to iOS devices.

  • How can I create a sync account, without synchronization option?

    I am currently in IE, but firefox running 25.
    I want to synchronize my firefox data.
    However, the problem is, I'm blind and can't create synchronization account, make the captcha.
    I'm under addon web visum, which is to solve a CAPTCHA for me, however, on the creation of sync account, it won't work, because this window is not standard Web interface page.
    The solution will be, if I can create on behalf of synchronization through a web interface, by visiting a page, for example, accounts.mozzilla.org/signup
    I also tried an audio captcha, but its quality so bad, and I do not understand...
    I hope that someone will help.

    Hello agasoft, I'm sorry that the registration process makes it so difficult - as far as I know it is possible to open an account of synchronization within the program of good.

    If you wish, I could also help you set up the account - it would work something like this:

    1. I contacted by personal message and ask your e-mail address.
    2. I created an account and you send the password and the recovery key for the account.
    3. You can then login on the website https://account.services.mozilla.com/ and change the password to your account.
    4. You can connect your firefox for the existing synchronization account by going to firefox > options > synchronization > sync Setup > I have an account > I don't have the camera with me. There, you will have to complete the identification of the account information (address, e-mail, password & recovery key).
    5. Finally if the account is configured, you can then go to firefox > options > synchronization > manage my account > my recovery key. in this window please choose to generate a new recovery key. Please also save the new key to recovery somewhere safe in case you need it in the future...

  • New for synchronization, I have set up the sync account in my new laptop and linked to my main computer; now worry Sync will eliminate information on the primary computer. What should I do?

    Knowing nothing about the sync but enthusiastic about its benefits, I followed the directions for the implementation of a synchronization account in my new laptop. Then I realized that I should start with my main computer that has all the data I want to transfer to the new. However, Firefox won't let me set up the sync account in my main computer because it says I already have an account. He gave me a code to connect the main computer to the new, and I did. Now I'm afraid to sync for fear that this will eliminate the info in my main computer rather than transfer them to the new. Is this true, and if so, how can I do it again and get Firefox to establish the sync account in my main computer?

    Do not know what is it and how to use it
