Today I got a message from www.xmarks.com that it is going to stop it's bookmarks synchronization service "XMARKS" add-on firefox from 10th Jan 2011. How should I import my stored bookmarks on www.xmarks.com to "FIREFOX SYNC" add-on? I could not find any option to import it in TOOLS -> SYNC -> PREFERENCES. Neither it's mentioned on xmarks.

Or probably it gets synchronized automatically?

I'm trying to pair my 2 computers so that the bookmarks etc. will be the same, but every time I enter the code from my new computer onto my computer with the account, it says "Please try again."

I've followed the instructions, I have been entering the code right and I've tried multiple times.

What could be the issue? Am I missing something? I tried the recovery key method too but Manage Account option isn't even under my Sync tab.

I have been patiently waiting for v11 for Firefox Sync to include Add-ons.

Now that it is here, I have upgraded both my work and home laptops to include Add-ons in the sync.

As I use Xmarks to sync bookmarks & history, I just need firefox to sync add-ons, preferences and open tabs.

Open tabs sync fine. Hard to tell if preferences are syncing. Main problem is that my addons are not syncing at all. If I add a new Add-on to my work laptop, shouldn't it then sync & install on my home laptop?

Hoping someone may have an answer...

Cheers

I cannot find any mention of how private the information is that sync saves on the Mozilla computers. These data would seem to be gold to a data miner.

You should publish a Privacy statement regarding off-site Sync data and under what conditions it would be released to anyone for any purpose. How soon will it be "shared" with third-party "partners" in order to enhance my "online experience"?

Your current Sync information is totally silent on this question.

I recently formatted my c: drive and reinstalled windows Vista, and lost my firefox data. When I was attempting to connect my sync account, I tried to set it up manually but I had forgotten my password. So I reset my password, but accidentally changed my sync key, so I actually lost all my data. Stupid, yes. Is it possible that I can retrieve the data? Perhaps the servers keep the deleted information for some time before they are actually wiped out?
