Help. Can't set up sync account ! Firefox 3.5 (and don't tell me to upgrade !) All the labels are WHITE (ON A WHITE BACKGROUND !?) So what am I supposed to be entering in the 3 areas ? !!! Is it to much to ask that you stick to BLACK LETTERS on a White background ?? !! Duh ! --- me

Hi Larry,

We are trying to help you, so please be patient. We don't have access to your computer so the only thing we can do is to guess and try to replicate the behavior you are getting. In top of that, you are working with an obsolete version with an add-on that is also not being developed any longer. So bear with us.

From what I see in the screenshoot you are using some kind of custom theme in black and white that is ruining the text field. I'm including and screenshot of how it should look like that should be enough to help you with the initial step, but I would encourage you to disable the theme during the process and activate it later.

Let me know if it works.

Hi Larry,

I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with Sync. It seems that you want to sync a couple of devices but you don't know how.

Take a look to this article: How do I set up Sync on my computer? and let me know if you still need help. The more specifics you give us, the better we can support you.

it appears that you are having "issues" with reading and understanding english  ! Try reading my message again ! Installed FFS plugin. Rerun FF3.5, click on tools pull-down, click on "Set up Sync" and I get this page [see image]. Would some idiot in programming care to explain this Screw-up ? AND how am I supposed to set up a sync account ???

Worked ! Switched to default theme and labels were there. Still bad programming ! The input box should have been 3 images with input links, basic HTML coding !
