Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?
I cannot sync my Firefox 18 desktop with iPad or iPhone browsers. I have tried everything suggested on the Web and have tried safe mode as well. When I enter the three-line synch code, I get a sync failure. I have deleted my account and then set up a new account without success. Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?
I’ve spent hours on this and am considering using Chrome as my regular browser since I have no trouble syncing Chrome with apps. Help appreciated.

by atm700I have the same problem.
I can not find the "Manage My Account" under anywhere in the "Sync" tab so that I can get the Recovery Key.
I am using an imac with snow mountain lion (osx 10.8.2)
Probably won't be using firefox anymore; Safari and Chrome sync, but not firefox.

Question owner
Thanks for the response. This is not about running Firefox in iOS6. Rather, it concerns iOS6 Web browsers such as Mercury and 360 that have the capability of synching bookmarks with Firefox Sync. In those applications there is an option to sync bookmarks with Firefox either by entering the generated three field key into the sync tab in Firefox in Windows or to enter your Firefox credentials and the recovery key into the app. Firefox will not accept the key, and I cannot determine how to find the recovery key since the Manage Account button is not displayed in the Sync tab of Firefox options.
