This is the most horribly designed POS I've had the pleasure of using.

I want to setup sync on my mom's firefox. I have an account already, so I click that button. Now It wants me to pair a device. I have no access to the other computer that firefox sync was presumably setup on. Ok fine I click "I don't have the device with me."

Now they want me to sign in and provide a recovery key. WTF Is a recovery key and when did I ever get one? Fine, I generate one. I save it. Now I click "Sign in". Nope, still not working. It says my key is wrong. Umm. The key you just GAVE ME is wrong. Fine. I try again, and again. The next button is not working.

All I want to do is sync bookmarks with my mom's ipad. On the ipad app I'm using, it tells me to click "Add a device" on my browser. Umm, there is no such button. Both apps are giving me PAIRING keys; neither app is letting me actually enter a pairing key for the other.

This is horrible; absolutely horrible. This is why I use chrome. Mozilla you should be ashamed of this product.

When I go to this site it says "your browser is not currently supported for this site." Then on the welcome page you get this: Browser Support Notice: This application is not currently compatible with Internet Explorer (IE) 9. If you have upgraded, you will need to revert back to Internet Explorer (IE) 8 in order to file your claim. You may visit the Microsoft website for instructions. (Uninstall Internet Explorer 9).

Some people may experience difficulties with this application due to their browser's particular characteristics. Best results will be achieved by using the correct browser version for your operating system. You may visit the corresponding (Internet Explorer) to download a free upgrade to the correct version of the browser. This process will work properly with Internet Privacy Option settings of Medium-High and lower. It has been a nightmare trying to uninstall and install the correct internet explorer version. I really just want to do all my internet through Firefox, is it possible to use this site with your browser? Thank you!

When I try to go to a web site from another web site or from an email from a link, I am required to click on the "ALLOW" button every time. It seems like if I have already clicked on it that I have allowed it. It is very frustrating. If it can't be fixed, I will either go back to an older version of firefox or choose another browser

Lync conference calls launched from Outlook do not trigger the event in Lync. How do I fix this?

My company uses Outlook and Lync on Windows 7. Prior to upgraded to Firefox 21, I could open an appointment in Outlook, then click on a "join the call" link. This would trigger a page in Firefox, that would in turn trigger the Lync application to launch the call.

Since the upgrade, instead of launching Lync, it takes me to a page that offers options such as "join meeting using your web browser," "download and install Lync Attendee," and "use Communicator." This is not the desired behavior. Pasting the "join the call" link into Internet Explorer and Safari for Windows executes the correct behavior. It's as though Firefox is not aware of Lync. This behavior literally started after the updated to Firefox 21.

How do I correct this?

I've used the instructions in the "Help" section to fix a tab problem. It did not work. I'm not that interested in having the "community" help me. I would however appreciate talking to a Mozilla representative who can quickly cure the problem for me. I'm guessing a two minute phone conversation will get it done.

Thanks, James
