Hi,
I changed Laptops and wanted to sync my previous made bookmarks onto my new device. However the transfer doesn't seem to work. Do I have to remove the old device first?
Thank you for your help Best Sophie

I have been hacked and my Firefox keeps saying that My Firefox is being controlled by my organisation, but this is not true I have lost £240 from my account in 30 minutes because of it. Bank confirmed device and browser used I have turned off sync, deleted Firefox from my devices, but when reinstalling it on another machine, it popped back up again I have now completely deleted it and want to delete the account but when I log in from another browser and click on Delete account it keeps coming with "Unexpected Error " and the account remains. Its annoying enough as it is to lose all my bookmarks and saved logins, but this is just ridiculous

On going to sync in Firefox Preview, I can see only option to sync bookmarks and history. There is no option for password which is present in case you use firefox for Android, the normal browser. Is there any way to do so ?

Android App was freezing and crashing on Home Depot page.
I disconnected the synched phone, cleared storage and cache, and uninstalled the app.
I then reinstalled the app, and reconnected to my account. Synch was successful.
HOWEVER, while the old synched device does not show in the device list and the new one does, the old device's History still shows in the History tab, including the aforementioned, evil Home Depot page that froze FF.
When I access the Home Depot page, the app still freezes.
On my desktop, the old device and its history do not show, and the Home Depot page does not freeze or crash FF.
Help!

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.

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?

Whenever I try to install Firefox Sync, it tells me "You are currently using Firefox 3.0.13," won't install, and suggests that I upgrade. However, I'm using Firefox 3.6.10, so I don't know how to resolve this. (Yes I tried downloading and installing the upgrade... this is still the result.) Any ideas?
How to choose what syncs on your different computers

Hi, I just transferred over from xmarks at their suggestion. I have a few questions about how the sync works. I have two computers and an iphone that I'd like on my network. As far as I can understand, I set up three device names under one username. However, does this mean that when I merge my files from home with my files from work, the next time I sync my work computer it will have all my bookmarks from home as well? And will both my work and home bookmarks bog down my iphone? What about sharing bookmarks across computers? If I find a bookmark while at work that I'd like to move to the home computer, can I do that? Alternatively, are all the bookmarks kept seperate from each other, each sync registered under the device name, and the bookmarks never see each other? How would I move SOME of my bookmarks onto the iphone or another device? In otherwords, is there a way that I can control which bookmarks, passwords, etc are passed and merged on seperate computers? How would I do that? Thank you very much for taking the time to read my query. Hope to hear from you soon and learn more about how this program works!

Well, I got the impression from your original instructions that I would be able to set my own "secret phrase", but the screen pictured in the instructions page never appeared. I got instead another screen with a "Firefox Sync Key" which I was required to print or save.
Is this key the same as the secret phrase you mentioned? If so, can I change it? If not, how do I get to create a secret phrase?

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

That's probably a stupid one, but I cant find a way to use Firefox Sync to see the open tabs on another machine. The plugins are working properly, the 'sync tabs' opt is checked and I've already tried the icon on the message bar [left and right buttons], the menu item for the plugin on tools, the tab on preferences and search the documentation and google... any help would be apreciated.
