Versions of Firefox Sync for stable, beta and aurora

I think of experimenting with the string "Aurora", but before I got what I need to confirm how Firefox Sync will work on several channels.

During the development of synchronization and in previous versions as an add-on stand alone the synchronization version could be incremented and all synchronization clients will need to be updated to match before synchronization work properly again. Now that synchronization is built into the product the product you may not necessarily be updated only the sync portion to match.

I'm likely to have problems with the sync if I'm running the beta channel (work/home, office computers) but aurora on my Android? I don't want to be forced to move to the same channel on all devices, just to keep my data synchronized.

Y at - it somewhere that the status of synchronization across different versions/channels is documented?

Is there a plan to maintain compatibility?

The synchronization version should not change once again, as it happened a few times in the fall of 2010 and in the beginning of the winter during the development of synchronization as part of Firefox vs. being just an add-on for 3.5 and 3.6.

  • Is the latest version of Firefox optimized for Yahoo

    All I want to know is the latest version of Firefox optimized for Yahoo

    As far as I know, Firefox is not "optimized" for specific web sites. If you see a version of Firefox that claims to be "optimized for Yahoo", it might be a new perfume created by Yahoo, but that's just a guess.

  • My computer has been cleared and he was running an old version of firefox sync, is anyway to recover these data through my account?

    I was running to the latest version of firefox on my laptop, but I think he was still running through a synchronization of the former. This laptop has been erased, and now I have a new. I can't get my only synchronized data, even when I install version 28 which took the synchronization of the former...
    Any advice? I had several years of saved bookmarks and many passwords...

    You need three things to connect to an old account of synchronization.

    1. Account name = email address
    2. Password for the account
    3. Synchronize key / recovery key = without your data are useless - as this 'key' has been used to encrypt your data, and because the data useless without that "touch" you can't even download your data - it is necessary to decrypt your data "

    IMO, too much security for the "browser data", other than passwords.

  • I have a problem with the American version of Firefox layout for printing in millimeters and the default page as A4 instead of the letter size.

    The default page size is A4 instead of the letter in the American version of Firefox (10.0.2). I know it was the letter before. The margins were 0.5 inch now is 12.7 millimeters. What happened twice. I unloaded the extensions I thought that maybe caused this, but nothing helped. It is a pain to export all bookmarks, uninstall Firefox and remove all traces of the program and reinstall. Is there a way to default on letter with thumb size margins?

    I deleted the resolved status as you indicate that you have not fixed yet.

    You opened the topic: config page through the address bar and put impression in the filter at the top?

  • Firefox Sync, two desktops computers and an android

    I currently have a Galaxy S5 (Android OS) and your desktop running Windows 7. The two devices sync properly. I now have another desktop computer and I would like to sync as well. On the primary computer. I go to the synchronization options and select manage. I get to the page manage account. https://accounts.Firefox.com/settings On this page, it shows that I am connected and gives me two options. Change my password or delete the account. There are no options to pair a device, get a security code or do something else that these two options. If I go to a desktop computer that has not been synchronized and I select the sync option, then I have already an account, it gives me the codes to pair a device but as I said, I have no pair option the main computer. If I select I don't have a camera with me, I have an option to connect you with an account and a password, but she wants too, then a recovery key that even once, I don't have the option to recover. At this point, it seems that synch can connect two devices. I studied the issues and extensively used search engines. Most keep responses pointing to the same items on how to synchronize the devices and the instructions never apply to this particular situation. Still once, I come back to the appearance page manage them has more options as did not in all other articles.
    I hope there is a solution to this problem.

    Firefox 29 and later have a new synchronization version that uses an account of Firefox and use only the name and the password and no longer use a sync (recovery) separated key (the key of synchronization is derived automatically the Firefox account password).

    The new synchronization version is completely different from the version that was previously used, and you must install a later version or Firefox 29 on all connected devices.
    You can enter the name and password of the Firefox account on each computer to connect to the new sync account.
    You can pair is more than a new device by entering a key to pairing on a connected device.

  • Firefox sync for several private aircraft, or is it a public utility?

    I'm looking for tools that have the utility with two classes of devices for synchronization. I don't want all my favorites "imported" on public devices at all times, I want to just access.

    Hi Jonathan,.

    If I understand your question, you want to access your Favorites in public computers through synchronization.

    As you mention, at this point, Firefox Sync aims to share or import your information to navigate your own devices (desktop or mobile), the most secure and private way.

    You could always clean all your data once you are done with the computer you are using, but I presume that it is not what you are looking for.

  • My Firefox synced the 'wrong way' and I need to recover my favorites.

    Wednesday, I opened Firefox on my computer WORK (PC) after a long hiatus and he recommended I update Firefox since I hadn't used in a while. He said he would preserve all my bookmarks, etc.. Did, everything was fine.

    Yesterday I logged Firefox on my computer (Mac) and then a minute later my bookmarks toolbar very detailed began to change and missing tons of bookmarks and seems completely / different disorganized. I myself am connected on Firefox sync hoping this would look again my WORK computer, but it did not.

    Today, I'm back on my WORK computer. I logged in sync since I assume that the Wednesday update disconnected me. And now my WORK computer resembles the same mess as my HOME computer bookmark. I wanted to sync the reverse - make my look of HOME computer as my WORK computer!

    How can I recover my favorites and that to happen?

    You can disconnect Sync and restore bookmarks from a backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.
