hello, on your android device, go into the systems settings app > accounts & synchronisation > firefox sync > pair device. then on your desktop go to firefox > options > sync > set up firefox sync > i have an account, enter the 3x4 digit code that is displayed into your android device and finish the steps in order to pair the two devices.

Thanks for your response. I think I screwed things up before do that. I Right now my PC won't sync (copy) contents of my Android device, and it says sync encountered an error. I must have changed the "key" associated with my account by trying to log in with my email from the browser.

can you try to unlink the desktop version from the account again under firefox > options > sync & then perform the steps i've described in my first answer again?

I already tried this, even installed firefox on a different PC and tried to sync, same result. It appears my device and PC recognize different keys, if that were possible.

The problem is still unsolved. Are there any more suggestions? Thank you.

you could try to reset the sync account, like it is described here: Replace your Sync information - however, beware that this will mean loss of data that is stored on the sync servers, so you'd then rely on the data that is stored within the firefox profile on your android phone only...

Is it then possible to have the data on the Android device to sync to the sync server?

i feel uneasy answering that - in principle that is how it's supposed to work, but there always seem to be some quirks when it comes to sync...

Thanks for your help all the way

You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

I tried to download and install but won't work. I also followed the link to the webpage but it says not updated for version 22.0.

I hadn't checked the extension lately and it apparently got broken.
I've uploaded a corrected version under the same name that should be working.

Components.utils.import("resource://services-sync/main.js");
Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Service.identity.syncKey);

The file didn't open on my mobile device, I use a Nexus 4.

Do you mean that you got an error when installing?

You need to type about:synckey to display the page with the sync key and providing that sync is installed properly, you should see the sync key.
