Reinstalled windows on my computer and installed firefox just now. Done this procedure multiple times, not new to me. What is however new, is that firefox seemingly wiped my complete backup from my account in Firefox sync, theres nothing left and obviously I did not create a manual backup of all my Firefox data because I already did this procedure 5-10 times in the past.

I am absolutely furious right now, its not just the saved pages, many of which are needed for work, but also the countless number of saved login details.

I need help desperately right now before I completely uninstall everything Firefox related and never touch it again.

Dear Mozilla

This is the first time I've ever written to you about anything, but I don't know what to do next

I have an account [I think it's a mozilla account, not exclusively for firefox] but I think instead of using the one account, there might be one or two devices signed into another account. I have multiple domains and I think an account for my email address on two of them: [edited] @incorrigo.com and [edited] @incorrigo.me

Now I've added a new domain to my project, and purchased a decent SSL certification: [edited] @incorrigo.io

What I want to ask you is: - do I have two accounts running with the two email addresses above? + if yes, are they configured to work together in such a way that no action from me is needed? + if yes, can they be merged to create one new account: [edited] @incorrigo.io [provided that I can clear security for both existing accounts] + if they can't be merged into a new account, what do I need to do in order to go about doing this myself? - can you give me more information? that's specific to: (a)sync tabs / settings across devices; (b) saving my bank card details so they can be used without having to go and find my bank card [which is in safe keeping somewhere for me]; (c) saving various login, password, session details; my personal privacy [client-side]

I understand that this is probably an unusual problem but if I can merge and recover such details [you don't even need to create a new account, if I could just import what I need from the least-used one, into the most-used one]

There are a number of devices that I am logged in on, and I'm sure that [edited] @incorrigo.com or [edited] @incorrigo.me is signed into quite a few places. I don't mind any active logins, I just want to know which account appears to get used the most so that I can grab any settings I get from the other one and then delete any un-necessary / redundant accounts / data

You can contact me on: [multiple email address removed from public forum] irc://irc.incorrigo.io/theo

Kind Regards Theo

Hello. I just set up a self hosted firefox-syncserver on my homeserver.

I created a virtual host on nginx which looks something like this: firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com and have a mariadb database as the backend. In about:config on firefox, I then set the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5.

Everything seems to work fine, but I still have some questions which I did not find an answer to online.

   Since I have this public accesspoint for my syncserver now, can not anyone just use it? What stops them from using my url (https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5) in their about:config?
   What is the SYNC_MASTER_SECRET for which I set to a 256-bit random key?
   When I navigate to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5 in my browser, why does it say {"status":"error","errors":[{"location":"body","name":"","description":"Unauthorized"}]}

I would really appreciate a good answer, as I could not find anything good about these points online.

A recently added computer's Firefox is not available on the "Send Tab To Device" list.

Both computers are logged into my Firefox account and Firefox is syncing. The new computer populated with my extensions and other synced data. The new computer shows the old computer in it's Send Tab list, but the old computer does not have the new computer's Firefox name in the Send Tab list.

On both computers, I can go to the menu / Manage Account and see the list "Connected Services - Everything you are using and signed into." On both computers, I can see the other computer's Firefox name in the list, and it reports "synced a few seconds ago".

But when I use the context menu and try to send a tab under "Send Tab To Device" the new computer is not on the list.

This article does not discuss this situation. For the case of "I don’t see my device listed" it just says "Sign In", but that has already been completed and is working on both systems.
