I have a working Firefox Sync account with 3 computers synced. That is, I already have working 3 computers with a working Sync account across them. I want to add a 4th computer, but I need my recovery key. I don't have it. The instructions say, To get a copy of my Recovery Key, I need to "At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then click options, then Sync, then Manage Account." I can't find a Firefox button with any choice of Options. There is an Options choice under Tools, but under Sync, but there is no Manage Account button. I can't start over and re-register because Firefox says my email account already has an account (I agree). Please, where is this Manage Account button?

Is there a way to check the status of current syncing process on Firefox desktop?
I don't know when it finishes syncing. sometimes it takes a lot of time before i can safely close the browser. and other times I closed before it finished.

I've been having unbelievable trouble with the firefox sync. I don't understand why I can't just have an account, log into it, and hit "sync my info" or something and that be it. I'm so unbelievably frustrated with this "recovery key" business, and I have NO other devices, but it keeps asking me when I hit the "I have an account," that I have to get this information from another computer/device. Why can't I just get an e-mail with this key? And I don't understand how to even get a new recovery key if I can even find out where the one I have currently is! Again, is there no way for me to just log in and find that information? It's driving me crazy, and I'm... I'm just reaching the end of my mental rope, it's so ridiculous.

Hi, I have a problem with Sync on Firefox 29. I have followed the steps to switch to the new version of Sync, but the Sync icon never stops "syncing" (it's blue and continuously rolling), and no data is transferred on my Sync account since I can't retrieve it in other devices or computers. I tried it with two different (and new) accounts... What's the problem?
Thanks

Set up Sync on my desktop with the new sync platform. Never used any sync before this.
logged into sync on my laptop and discovered that nothing was syncing. Pressing 'sync now' does not appear to do anything. I don't get any errors, so I do not think there is something wrong my my connection to the sync service.

Before late yesterday and today, I had never used Firefox Sync. I did eventually find the results under the History menu, under "Tabs from other Devices". The system was not well explained. I searched the internet, and did not find any explanation of where to find the results. All of the "Tabs" were on one page, vertically listed from top to bottom. They were not in the order I had them in my browser windows, but appeared to be in somewhat of a random, haphazard order. Before Firefox crashed yesterday, I probably had 300 - 400 tabs open in the two windows. There is no way the current Sync system will be of any value to me. I have had crashes, for about the last year or so, because my Windows XP computer only has 1.5 Gb of memory, which is still more than a lot of XP computers had. An acquaintance has a Windows Vista computer with 2 Gb memory, and also experiences crashes. I recently purchased a Windows 7 64 bit computer with a lot of memory. I moved by bookmarks over ( for Firefox), and even got Netscape 4.8 running, even though it has a 16 bit installer, that will not run by itself on a 64 bit system, but there seems to be no easy way to transfer the contents of my Firefox tabs over. I considered using MozBackup, to transfer the tabs, but the author said he did not think that was a good idea.

How to get a list of all devices syncing using my Firefox Sync account? So far I have not found a way of getting a complete list of all devices configured to use my Firefox Sync account. E.g.: If I log in to Firefox Sync on https://account.services.com, then the Firefox Sync webpage offers (1) Account settings, (2) Sync settings. But there is nothing like "Device List" where I can "list all my devices" or "remove a device". There does not seem to be a way of getting a list of all devices which have been configured to sync using my Firefoy Sync account anywhere.
Firefox Sync creates duplicate Bookmarks

I just setup Firefox Sync on two (2) of my systems and configured it to just sync Bookmarks. The existing bookmarks on these two (2) systems were already almost the same, but one (1) system had not been used recently so it didn't have the latest bookmarks I had saved on the other system.
Unfortunately, after sync did its thing, I now have many, many duplicate bookmarks. Doesn't sync check and eliminate duplicates between the two (2) systems?
Doing a sync reset won't fix the issue, because each system and the data on the sync server contains the duplicates. Is there a way to tell the system to de-duplicate what is on the sync server and then update each of my systems with this newly cleaned data from the server.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Gary

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

I have my 26-character sync key / recovery key, and I can login to https://account.services.mozilla.com/ but Firefox's Menu still tells me to "Sign in to Sync", and when I enter the info I use to login to the above url, it tells me "unknown account".
Why can I sign in to my "account management portal" but not Sync?
Is there nowhere I can enter my recovery key?
Previously, I could enter it at: options > sync > set-up sync > i have an account > i don't have the device with me
Now, on Firefox 29, I am given no way to use my recovery key!
When I login to https://account.services.mozilla.com/, all it shows is:
Account Settings -- Change your password -- Delete your account Sync Settings: -- Clear your Sync data -- Request a quota increase
That's useless!
I googled for help, to no avail: firefox "where * enter * recovery key" firefox "i have * recovery key but" -lost -find
Please.... Thank you.

How to sync Firefox settings between multiple OS's on one computer or multiple computers

I have three OS's on a single computer (XP SP3, WIN7 & WIN8. Each OS has it's own Firefox install and of course, different settings in each since they are all handled separately, I have no idea how to synch the user-data from all three different Firefox installations. My goal is to be able to boot up in any of the OS's and have the same user settings/details across all three.
Once I get that figured out, then I can try to find a way to synch Thunderbird across all three OS's so that mail collected or sent in one OS is shared or synched with Thunderbird on the other two OS's.
It's probably a tall order and not possible to accomplish, but if I don't ask then I'll never know.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
