Firefox supportforum

I wanted to change my sync account to use my new e-mail address and I get the message that my e-mail address is invalid and already in use.

How can I proceed?

Hello,

I'm running a fresh install of Firefox - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD amd64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20110125 Firefox/3.6.13.

I've installed Firefox Sync 1.6.2 from the add-ons site.

I was having trouble with my existing account, so now I'm trying with a fresh account - it created the account successfully, but I've never been able to get a successful connection/sync. Here's the error log I get:

% cat verbose-log.txt

Any ideas what could be going wrong here?

Thanks.

Please Help me! My computer was infected by a virus, and I format my hard drive and reinstall the OS. Now I installed Firefox 4 beta 10 but don't have access to my sync account because i don't the "Sync Key" and don't use Firefox in other devices... please please help me to access to my account I need recover my bookmarks and configuration, Thanks.

I would like to use sync between 3 computers on a wireless lan. Computer 1 = desktop, 2 = laptop, 3 = server. I want to keep the sync data on local server instead of online. I am using win xp pro on all computers, Firefox 4.0 Is it possible to set up this way?

Thanks for your time

I have formatted my PC and lost my old sync key. I tried to create a new one to sync my current data with server but it shown this message, "There was an error while changing your sync key". Thank you for your help.

Have a new iphone4. Use Firefox5 on my home laptop. got Firefox Home from the Apple app store, installed it, and got the instructions that were sent to my laptop. Downloaded sync, opened the file and Downloaded Sync, opened it and Firefox starts at http://www.sync.com/. List does not include iphone. So what do I now do now? (note: no questions to start an new account appeared).

The following error message came when I tried to open Firefox and install Firefox Home.

"can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined"

I put in my email address and then put in my password and then the error message says the password is too short. I have a seven character password. How do I by past this error to continue so that I can sync my information?

Hello all, I've got a small problem here, I've formatted my laptop and installed firefox 4, but I can't remember my username or password :S What can I do now to solve it?

I've setup Firefox( Firefox 4.0 ) Sync and already successfully snyced to another device. So in theory all works fine.

Main problem is that every time I (re-)start Firefox, the sync settings are reseted and i have to enter all information again( user account, password and sync-key)

Am I seeing this wrong or is Sync using the standart Password Manager to store the account settings? I never want my passwords to be stored on any mashine. But still I want to use Sync for my bookmarks and settings.

Wouldn't be better if this information is stored in another way or that I at least don't have to fill in all information again but only the password and sync asks me for it when starting firefox?

Hope someone can help me.

Been trying to install Sync on my desktop. All is fine until the screen where I need to confirm I am not a robot. The space where the letters to type in should show and the place to type them is completely blank, all white. How can that be fixed?

HAVE SPENT ALL DAY TRYING TO GET NORTON'S AUTO PASSWORD FEATURE TO BE ACCEPTED BY YOUR NEW VERSION OF FIREFOX. NOTHING WORKS. TOTAL LOSS ALL DAY. I GUESS TO WORK WITH FIREFOX ONE NEEDS A BIGGER ERASER. THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT WORK. IT REALLY IS A SHAME.

The question says everything. Since then I've backed up all my bookmarks - but after the horse has bolted. Also I had previously registered a u/n and p/w with Firefox but the upgrade doesn't recognize it....
