Windows Vista just updated to 6.0 on this machine and another wanted to add the other machine to my sync account on this machine (mt main one) it now says I have to set up a sync account, however when I put in my email address it tells me it's in use so evidently my account is still there version 6 just has somehow forgotten all about it. I have another machine to update yet but I'm not going there until this is resolved.

I was using Gmail but have tried to get away from Gmail. I still have it because of play store but it seems to stick with most of what I am doing. I think I chopped it down but with WiFi on it's hard to get away. I got updates off unless it's something trusted and there is far and few between.

Thanks for all the help

If I ever find myself in a situation where I can't download a copy of Firefox onto the computer I am using (i.e. at a public computer in a library, for instance), can I access my Firefox bookmarks and other data via a Firefox webpage accessed via a non-Firefox browser?

My Sync does not work since a week now. On the two mac I uses, Sync says it encountered an unknown error and will retry soon. But it haven't sync since a week now. I can't find any clue in the about:sync Can someone help ?

i am looking for syncing tools that have utility with both classes of devices. I don't want all my bookmarks 'imported' permanently on public devices, i just want access to them.

I have an MSi U 135 with Windows7 starter that I use when traveling in a motorhome. I want to sync it with my main computer, but when I open the Firefox options, "sync" is not listed as an option. Running Firefox 3.6.13 on MSi.

I have just installed Firefox 5 for Android on my Samsung Galaxy SII (Android v2.3.3). I have entered my username & password for sync and the although the options show that it is syncing nothing actually happens.

I have rebooted the handset but that doesn't seem to have made a differance.

Mi problema es que formatie el computador en que cree mi cuenta de Firefox Sync. Lo que no sé es cómo funciona, lo que entiendo es que a través de uno principal se sincronizan los demás, pero si yo hago los cambios en otro computador que esté sincronizado ¿ los cambios se realizan? o ¿sólo si los cambios lo hago en el principal?

PD: Tampoco sé cuando se termina de sincronizar

I had everything working. This PC contains the first step of the sync project I planned to use with two more PC's. After initial setup it works fint.

Then I decided to fix a problem I had with Firefox and Citrix and an old article told me to try and make a new profile - so I did. While it didn't solve my Citrix problem I did loose my Firefox Sync so I wanted to add it again.

At first is asks for a device which already has Sync setup. I don't have that so I clicked on "I don't have the device" then it says I need the Sync key and explains how I get from a device I don't have (really weird to do so). So I gave up.

At work I got my Sync key and saved the html file to my DropBox. When I came home and it asked for my Sync key I simply copy/pasted the key and it says the keys is incorrect.

Thought I love the idea of the build-in sync function, Xmarks makes this a whole lot easier. I hope and wish you continue to improve this already great software.

Thanks for the help :)

I a trying to set up the firefox app on my iphone..and i have not been able to find the firefox sync app/ add on to set up the sync account from my desktop version..its not under the options tool bar, and i am running the latest version of firefox. please help thanks

In my old windows I had my mozilla firefox synced and I've all my bookmarks and histories that i need, but i didn't know that i should write this Sync Key somewhere so I installed a new Windows and all information like my firefox deleted. now i can't set up my Sync in this new firefox 'cause i don't have my Sync Key . i need my bookmarks badly.

Ok, I have 2 different sync data, one on my mac on on my pc they are 2 totally diffrent they have diffrent history etc... I was wondering if I sync both devices to one account will the second non mmain sync data be changed to the main one? or can i keep them both seperate on the same account?

Ok good people here goes. I have been using foxmarks/xmarks for over 3 years. Today after FF updated to 6.0 at work, I thought it might be a good diea to start using FF sync. So I created an FF account at work and synchronised with a FF server somewhere and I was given a sync key.

So when I came home, I though I will add my laptop and my iMac to FF sync, but to my surprise, teh instructions are that I have to add a device on FF where I created my account, which is at work!

Therefore is there a way around this, or I have to call my wife from work and do it on the phone???

Thank you in advance. Cheers
