Firefox sync error, changed password and on other devices the new password keeps giving me an error.

Okay so I have several Linux devices in sync and one of them is synced also with a Microsoft 8 and the latest updates of Firefox. All of them are updated to the lastest. I had to change my password becaue for some odd reason the pass I wrote down was not being registered in my computer. Now because of that I had to change it for all of the other devices and none of them are detecting the new firefox password change. It just seems like a round circle where I change pass, and I have to continue to do that but each device wants to do the same thing.
What could be done is there some bug with respect to this!? Thanks.

Please let me confirm what you are saying: when you change the password on one device, all of the other devices connected to the account are not disconnected and continue syncing?
[Bug 987719 - If user changes FXA password as Syncing client, don't kick them out of Sync]- this is outdated I think*
Do the other devices ever prompt you for a new password? And if you check about:sync-logs are there any errors after the time you changed the password on one of the devices?
Edit* ignore this post, though these are the steps we would take if there is a bug for future reference.

  • When I attempt to updates apps on my ipad my password does not work. I tried updating them one at a time and it still doesn't work. I've reset my password and I can use the new password and update apps on my PC but not on my ipad. Why?

    When I attempt to update apps on my ipad my password does not work, even when I attempt to update each app separately. When I change the password it works on my PC but not on my ipad.  Why?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • If I have a saved password, and then I enter the wrong password on a website login, does Firefox keep the old password stored, or does it overwrite it?

    I am trying to find a password that I changed yesteday. I forgot what it was, and today I entered the incorrect password, and now I can't get logged in. When I look at the password manager, it is showing what I believe is the incorrect password. Is there a way to get it to show what the password was? It is showing that I changed the password yesterday.

    Hi, jydsker!
    Let me see if I can help.
    *Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click "Preferences" (the gear icon).
    * Select the "Security", and click the "Saved Passwords" box.
    * If you select the "Show Passwords" box in the lower right corner, it will show you the saved password.
    If it is the incorrect password, select the entry and select "Remove".
    Let us know if that helps.

  • Forgotten sync password and can't find the "forgot password" button/link in option-sync tab.

    Mozilla firefox help database instructed us to access option-sync tab as follow to reset password
    1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options.
    2. On the Sync tab, click Sign in to open the Sign in page.
    3. On the Sign in page, click Forgot password? Firefox will send you a reset email.
    4. Follow the instructions in your reset email to change your password.
    but in my firefox 36.0.4 there isn't any Sign in link, just Manage firefox account link. Clicked Manage to open manage account page, still can't find "Forgot password" link as stated above. So how do we reset password to sync? Please advise anyone.

    At first Go to https://accounts.firefox.com/settings
    # If you already signed in with your sync account
    #* You will see a message ''You are signed in as [email protected]''
    #* Sign out from your present account.
    #* Then you'll see log in page. At the bottom of the form you'll find '''Forgot password?'''
    # If you aren't signed in with sync account
    #* Then you'll see log in page.

  • Firefox Sync multiplied my bookmarks and I have all the bokkmarks several times

    Hello,
    After setting up bookmark Sync all bookmarks became multiplied several times , so I have on the bookmark toolbar every bookmark hundred times and I am not able to delete them.

    This might be due to using multiple sync services on your profile (Icloud and Firefox Sync) Please disable one of them for this not to happen again.
    And in order to repair the damage if you do not have a back up from before this happened:

  • I changed my Apple ID last night but the iPad still has the old one and won't take the new password either.

    How the heck do I get my iPad to take the new Id?  I can't dowload anything or update anything.  I thought when I changed it and my password last night that the iPad would be set up with the new info.

    No, it does not change automatically. For starters, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign out of the old ID and sign in with the changed ID. That will allow you to start downloading content and updating apps again.
    You need to change the ID for all Apple Services that you use. Read this for more.

  • Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my photos, contacts, and text messages, i recieved an (-50) error during setup, and i was running the new update of iTunes.

    Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my contact, pictures, and texts. I was running the new update of iTunes and i still recieved an error of (-50). Can anyone help with how i can get all my stuff back? Also i just had updated my phone in October and it said the last time i updated 5/18/11 which is not true i am using a PC.

    I had the same problem and managed to get all my old contacts back. It was because I synced my contacts toiCloud on the initial setup, but nothing was in there. If you go to settings-iCloud- and turn off contacts, your old contacts should appear!

  • I am buying a new computer, can i copy firefox from my old one and paste it on the new one

    Instead of opening up a new firefox with my new computer can i copy the one from my old one and paste it to my new one so i can save all my bookmarks?

    The user data is store in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
    There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

  • HT4623 IOS 6 updates are installed. Phone will not recognize my old password, nor will it accept the new password. New password was said to be updated. what to do?

    Need help to have Iphone recognize my new password.  I have just changed it and it was accepted via the computer but the phone continues to say password is not valid.

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

    It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
    I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

    Solved.
    After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
    Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

  • I changed my exchange password and iPad won't recognize new password. I can't get past the box telling me password is incorrect to access settings or anything else. Ideas?

    Am unable to access anything on iPad because it tells me my exchange password is incorrect

    I couldn't get past the dialog box in order to delete since it seemed to be stuck in some sort of loop..  I found the answer under "More like this".  Had to do a reset (hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds).  When iPad eventually came back to life, the dialog box was gone and I was able to get into Settings and reset the password.  All fixed now!

  • I had to deleate Firefox due to a bug and when I reloaded the new version, the new version comes with a blank screen that I need to develop (I am sure you are aware of this). Is there any way I can go back to an older version that downloads ready to use?

    I believe the initial question is sufficient

    I downloaded and saved Firefox 3.6.16 from this page after version 4 kept freezing!!!
