Since we launched Firefox 4, Sync is now part of the browser and the Sync add-on that was used in Firefox 3.6 and below is no longer needed. If you still have this Sync add-on, uninstall it. For detailed instructions on how to uninstall add-ons, see [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

== Update Firefox{for fx35} and the Sync add-on{/for} on all your devices ==
To improve the Sync service, the Sync data format may be changed when the latest Firefox version is released. This means that any of your other devices which have not been updated will need to be updated in order to keep syncing.

=Firefox Sync resets every time I close Firefox=
This happens when you have Firefox set to not remember or delete any passwords since your Sync password is saved along with those from websites. To fix this, turn on the '''Remember passwords for sites''' preference and then setup or sign into your Sync account:
#[[T:optionspreferences]]
#Select the {menu Security} panel.
#In the "Passwords" section, check '''Remember passwords for sites'''.
#[[T:closeoptionspreferences]]
#After setting up Firefox Sync you can un-check the box again.
It's also important to configure your browser not to delete the stored passwords after Firefox is closed. You can visit the [[Options window - Privacy panel]] article for details. What you need to know is that if you have selected '''Use custom settings for history''' you will need to follow these extra steps:
#Ensure that '''Clear history when Firefox closes''' is uncheck.
#If you want or need to keep this preference, access to the {Button Settings} button next to it.
#Un-check '''Saved passwords''' under Data.
By doing so you will ensure that your Firefox Sync information is not removed after closing your browser.
