Sync not pairing

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.

Try to add the user name and password and sync key manually.

  • Open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
  • Click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
  • Click "I already have a Firefox Sync account" : Connect
  • Click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom

I have tried this but it asks me for my recovery key. I can not find my recovery key however because I have no option to "manage my account" in the sync panel, even though I have made an account.

Thanks! After a bit of trial and error, managed to work it out and now it's working!

I tried this, but it seems to have died on the login. One possible factor is that the two browsers that are successfully syncing are on Ubuntu machines (Firefox 10.0.2 on one, not sure of the other, but could be 3.1.something), and the troublesome one is on Windows XP (Firefox 10.0.2). The failing one is on the same LAN as one of the ones that works.

Here's my log. I have scrambled the sync ID and other strings that look like they might pertain to my account, and I cut out some innocuous-looking stuff for brevity.
