I carefully set up Firefox at another location (Windows Vista), got the sync key, came here (Ubuntu 14.04), can't get a place to enter the key. It just wants to sync with my phone...

I've tried following the detailed instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer , it just gets me to the same place I got myself.

It seems to me that either I'm overlooking something very simple and basic, or there is a large bug in the setup.

There is some reference to "Tools", but I can't get there from here in Ubuntu, the top drop down isn't there.

Thanks!

Note that a Firefox version from the repositories of your Linux distribution may not support all the features that the official release from the Mozilla server does support.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (46.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:

Sync key hasn't been used since Firefox 28. All you need is the email address and the password.

So between 32 and 64 bit it's the same?

If not, how do I sync the Vista 32 bit and laptop Ubuntu 32 bit setup with the 64 bit systems?

Thanks!
