The bookmarks sync does not sync Icons. it's been YEARS since I last time used Firefox and I went to use Google chrome because they support syncing bookmarks icons but Firefox still doesn't. Microsoft's new Chromium based Edge browser also supports syncing bookmarks icons. Firefox needs this option too. it's very hard to identify my bookmarks because the are a lot.

I am the author of a few small addons on the Addons website, (namely Styling) and I didn't think that I would lose access to these by deleting my Firefox account. I have regretted my decision to delete my account, because I have put a lot of time and effort developing these addons, and I can't login anymore with my deleted account :(

The addons are still on the Addons website, so is there some hope that I can reclaim my addons with a new account, or log in to the Addons website through some other method?

(More info: I deleted my account 5-10 days ago)

And if this isn't the right place to ask this, where can I ask?

Hi,

I have set up a Firefox Sync account lately. Yesterday, I backed up my laptop but forgot to back up the sync. Now, I can't set up the Firefox Sync service anymore, as my email address has already registered but don't have a sync key to access.

I would like to know how to reset the sync key.

Thanks :D

I clicked on the menu button and all there is below "Developer" is my email address (JMARKSCHWARTZ at GMAIL dot COM). There is no "Sign in to Sync". Your "Note" says that "If you don't see a Sync section in the menu, you are signed in to the old version of Sync." Then there is a link entitled "How to update to the new Firefox Sync." I clicked this link and found a statement to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. Well, I already have the latest version of Firefox, 33.0.1 on my Windows 8.1, 64-bit laptop. So what gives? Will you PLEASE let me know how I can sync all of my bookmarks and home page to my new Surface Pro 3. I've already downloaded and installed the same version of Firefox on the Surface Pro 3. Thank you.

I don't know why - possibly after a firefox update to 49.0.2? But Firefox on Windows 10 is no longer saving or using my saved passwords. When I try to display saved logins, there are none showing. However, I do have intact key3.db and logins.json files, and I can see in logins.json that there are lots of logins stored in there. So I'm sure the data are there, but just not being read.

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help. Refresh didn't help. Synch seems to connect, but doesn't help. Isn't there some command to force the browser to read the saved logins file?

Due to problems with upgrading my Ubuntu to 18.04, I've been forced to use a LIVE DVD for the last 8 months instead of a properly installed Ubuntu. This LIVE DVD crashes or drops out from time to time so each time this happens I have to re-sync the Firefox it brings up. This re-sync requires a verification code to be sent by email, but because that email has to go through my Google filtering process, it usually takes longer than the code's 5 minute validity before I receive it. When I do finally get it and enter the received code back in Firefox, I'm told the code is invalid or expired. This is because 5 minutes validity is just too short a time for my setup. If it were 10 minutes, that would allow me to go into Gmail -> Settings -> Accounts & Import -> Check email from other accounts -> and then order Gmail to perform a special immediate mailcheck on my selected account. As a slow elderly old codger myself, I find it too hard to do all this within 5 minutes. Why can't we make it 10 mins?

Hello, I always have Sync turned on, on my Laptop (PC) and my iPhone. When I reinstalled Firefox, everything was synced except my bookmarks. I have all my bookmarks on my iPhone. How do I get my bookmarks back on my Laptop? Can I somehow export my bookmarks on my iPhone, which has Firefox mobile, and email them to myself on my Laptop? I would really appreciate it very much if anyone could assist me this this issue. Thank you.

Wiped my windows last night and after reinstalling windows and installing firefox, none of my bookmarks, history and addons are syncing.

I am IT techie, and I need FF help on this. I searched the entire sync issue forum, but of no avail.

I had a Windows 10 update issue so I decided to format my PC. My sync was enabled and all data was synced normally. I went ahead and formatted it, and installed a new copy of Win 10, and all softwares, including FF. Now after syncing for over an hour, I cannot find anything. No history, no bookmarks, no logins, nothing.

This is definitely something to do with your update. I cannot figure anything else out. How can I get my old data back? This is absolutely ridiculous and frustrating.

I have 2 other laptops with FF synced, but they aren't booting up either because of hardware failures. I cannot risk turning them back on, and loosing my FF data from those laptops.

Please advise, how to access my cloud data on FF, or should I switch over to Google chrome because of your incompetency?

In July, I first installed Sync on my PC (Windows 7), my smartphone and my tablet (both Android 4.2.2). It worked perfectly, with all bookmarks, history and tabs synchronized, and proved useful during holidays as I was only left with my Android devices.

I haven't been using Firefox much with my Android devices lately, but yesterday, when I checked their bookmarks, I realized they were out of sync with my PC's bookmarks.

I have been through all the tips offered on this site (unlinking, updating, re-linking...), with limited success : the history of the various devices in synchronized, but NOT the bookmarks.

I tried to create a new account with a new email address, but I am still waiting to receive the email for verification (although the email address works fine). Therefore I have deleted my 'old' account and re-created a new one, with the same email address.

Any clue as to how to synchronize the bookmarks?

I want to disable Sync. The various instructions for doing so refer to unchecking a box which doesn't exist and resetting an about:config entry which also doesn't exist. I can't figure out whether I have an older or new version, my logon no longer works, and don't think I ever set up a Firefox account, but again, can't find out.

I Keeping getting this issue even restarting my computer, logging in and out of my profile and reinstalling the latest version of Firefox. I upgraded to the new profile yesterday and that's when the problem started.

Please Help

Hi,

Firefox wasn't playing any videos on the bbc website so I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now I'm not able to sign into my account to sync my settings. Also its no displaying the Mozilla pages correctly I just get text versions of the pages. I get the following error message when trying to sign in

"The owner of accounts.firefox.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate."

I am using windows 10 insider preview build 14271.rs1_release.160218-2310 and the latest version of firefox. I have also tried the latest beta and the developers edition all with the same error. I also get a message telling me I'm not connected to the internet which clearly I am as I'm using edge to post this here.

I made a Firefox account a while ago. I use Firefox in my user account as well as when I work in the Admin account. I think I have noticed before that these two Firefoxes were automatically synchronized now and then. But since I had to deal with a problem in the Admin account (continuously opening download windows) and reset Firefox there, the Hans- the user- Firefox differs from the Admin Firefox. That does not matter much in itself, but what if ever I change computer or something? Which version will be leading then, and decide on what kind of Firefox will be installed?

Hello, I did the Menu... Help...About Firefox Again and Lost All My Bookmarks...! Now I keep getting a Notification to Reconnect to Sync...! I have One Laptop using Firefox, why do I need Sync...?!?

I'm currently using firefox sync for everything, but I wanted to set up an instance for workpurposes only, but still using my regular account. Is there a feature that allows this, or is it possible to implement that?

I have gotten a new computer to replace a new one that was defective & have been trying to sync the new new one & I can't get it to sync.

I generate a 9 digit code from the defective one to enter it into the new computer but then it asks for a sync recovery code which I never was asked for before when I synced. I said I lost it & I generated a new one. When I put the code in that was generated from the other computer it doesn't accept it & says it's not valid. I've even tried saying I lost the computer & let it generate a new code & it won't accept that.

I unsynched the defective computer & it still won't work.

I'm getting very frustrated because I can't access my add on's, etc.

I can't even find a phone number to call & get help from anyone. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!

I need to get this resolved fast because I have to return this computer!!!!

HELP!

I have been using Firefox Sync since it was an extension called Weave and it has worked perfectly until now.

I was using Firefox Aurora on Ubuntu 14.04 but I had to uninstall Ubuntu completely from my computer and install Windows 7. The point is that on Windows I tried with Firefox Aurora (34) and Release (32) to recover my bookmarks and none of them is syncing. Everything looks to work fine, even I can see a message saying "Firefox will begin syncing momentarily" after logging in with my account but that never happens. It says it's correctly synced but I never get the bookmarks/history from my old Ubuntu.

I have more devices connected to my account but only can access one them right now, it is my Android phone where I have Firefox Beta (33). There everything works fine, I have my bookmarks as they were in my Ubuntu.

Any idea what's going on? Let me know if you need any other information.

The only way to pause sync is through Options\Preferences, then signing out of sync. By then, the damage is done. Users should be able to pause sync by easier access, as well as set the cycle of syncing at the user\'s discretion.
