Why can't I sync my iPhone 5S to Firefox anymore?

FF on my phone still generates 12 character passcodes but I cannot find the sync download box on my PC to enter it!

Hi biscutyboy, Thank you for your question. I understand that you were using Firefox Home, a free application available for IOS to sync open tabs to other installations of Firefox. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2010/06.../your-firefox-in-the-cloud-firefox-sync-and-firefox-home/

There was a new sync released in Firefox 29 may have interrupted your experience if the other installations of Firefox are on the newer version of Sync.

It looks like others have also discussed the compatibility of owncloud syncing services with the new Firefox Sync and it was concluded you could host your own server or disable the new sync.

I apologize for the inconvenience, however this does not seem to be available in the new sync unless you use the hack above. Clear instructions should be in the second link.

Firefox Home was end-of-lifed about two years ago. It doesn't support the current version of Firefox Sync.
