Firefox sync not working with android 4.0 (ice cream sandwich)

Okay i'll try to explain this as best as i can. Over the weekend i installed the new android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich...before hand firefox sync (from my desktop to my cell phone) was working fine. I could see all of my bookmarks and all of my history. However, once i installed the new OS i was unable to see any of my information! When i go into the sync and accounts page on my android i see my FF sync account and i have told it to sync a number of times...but it still doesn't work! Also, on the main page of the FF app on my android there is no account information at the bottom on the page like there was pre 4.0 install. Is there anything i can do to fix the problem? Or will i have to re-add the account when I get back home from being out of town?

Hard to say. Most of my experience has been with the Thunderbolt and I don't know anything about the Stratosphere. Part of it will probably depend on the manufacturer, Verizon and what phone you have. Some manufacturers get updates out faster than others. Then Verizon may hold on to it until they test it, which may not matter much judging by the Thunderbolt releases. And also, some phones will get it before others. Which phones come before others may not make sense to anyone except the manufacturer and Verizon and maybe not them. Sometimes it seems more like a lottery. I'm only guessing that the newer, dual core phones will probably get it first since I think ICS is suppose to run better on them. I could be wrong, and often am, but I'm not expecting the Bolt to get it, but I've retired mine anyway.
Verizon will usually put out a notice when it's planning on releasing an upgrade for your phone and if you follow any Android forums, most of them will post it also, so it's not usually a secret. . The last updates the Bolt got were pushed to us if we didn't download it first. The only way not to get it seemed to be if you happened to be watching when it started so you could stop it, but since you have to sleep sometime, eventually you'd get it whether you wanted it or not. Not sure if that will be the case with ICS though.
They might surprise us and get it out this month, or as AZSALUKI said, 2-3 months. You can hope for sooner, but expecting later will decrease your stress levels.

Firefox Sync not working with weave server behind password protected proxy

Since the sync is moved from firefox to Android, I'm completely unable to sync my bookmarks with my personal weave server. The server is internal, but accessible via a proxy with a username/password for all internal sites. Last working version was 10.0.5, all newer versions have this problem. I've just reinstalled the ancient version, as I now need the bookmarks. First syncing in 10.0.5 and then upgrading to anything newer makes all previous synced data unavailable. BTW the newef versions will let you add other devices to the same sync account (on the internal server), but it just complete refuses to collect any data at all from the server. (I don't even see any attempts in the logging of the proxy server)
I'm unable to get debug info, as I don't have a google account (don't trust them) and can't run SDK or other non-standard tools on my company phone.
The phone in question is a Samsung Galaxy S2, latest software version (Android 4.04) Is there a way to get firefox doing the sync? (As Android just can't handle this)

Why in the pastebin in the debugging line is the version of sync the older one:
1407393996002 Sync.Service DEBUG User-Agent: Firefox/33.0a2 FxSync/1.35.0.20140806004002.

Are you using the first method? Where the Firefox server is the authenticating server and the hosted server is your own?
It fails to login because it flags it already has a token, but 401 failed to Get the collections at your server, these are strange errors and I am not an expert, please do ask your question in the mailing list, the technical eye will be able to catch the issue much quicker.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

Firefox does not work with yahoo mail, why ???

for some reason firefox does not work with the new Email window on yahoo.com All the other browsers work with yahoo mail just fine!! Are you working on a fix???

I have had the problem of Yahoo! mail freezing (my computer freezing) with Firefox right after I boot up my computer and sign into my Yahoo! mail account. I have to either shut down my computer or use Control + Alt and press Delete to eventually bring up the Task Manager option. Then, once the choice for Task Manager comes up, I can click on cancel and Yahoo! mail and my computer have "un-frozen." I have followed all the recommendations for updating Firefox, clearing caches, checking if an Add-On is the problem, etc., as well as all the recommendations on Yahoo! help pages. Nothing has improved the situation to date. Firefox info says the problem is with Yahoo! Yahoo! says it is a browser problem. I just want the problem to be fixed.

I just spent an hour composing a reply in a thread ("Firefox will not work with paypal"), only to see "You don't have permission" at Submit - total loss!

I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!

It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
* Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
* Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
* Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
* Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies
There you may be able to copy out the content of your post from the Request Body. You can use a word processor or text editor to find/replace the + characters back to spaces.

Firefox sync not working on fresh Ubuntu install

Fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit with a fresh install of Firefox 25. Firefox Sync setup worked flawlessly, except for the fact that it isn't working. I'm not encountering any errors, and when I tell it to sync the process appears to complete fine. However I never get my sync'ed data. Sync has been working flawlessly on my two other Windows boxes and my three Android devices and they seem to test fine. Oddly enough (and I'm not looking for support on it here, just mentioning) I'm having the same issue with a fresh install of Chrome as well. Any suggestions?

Please disregard. Got it working. No idea how.

Firefox will not work with Rabbit TV on the Golf Channel

2 months ago I purchased Rabbit TV and eliminated TV service through a cable provider.
I then went to the Golf Channel to watch live streaming golf.
I would not work with Firefox.
It left me with no option but to go back to MS Explorer, which works just fine.
I do not like Explorer but have not choice.
Have you corrected the issue?

Do the other channels work, just not golf?
Please check your plugins and see whether you have the following:
* Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8
* Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.202
* Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.20125.0

Firefox sync not working correctly

I set up sync and used my favorite gmail address (sun-).
It seems I should have used the gmail address I set up my google/gmail account with ( allu-)
Now it seems I have sync on my computer, and my tablet, but I'm not sure. I know this sounds weird, but when I have sync set up on my computer, and I go to pair a device (my tablet) I have sync numbers in both my computer, and my tablet, and I am unable to erase the 3 boxes to add in numbers to either device.
I still would like to add my android phone, but I would like to fix this problem.
I guess what I would like to do is delete/uninstall my 'sync' account so I can start new with my google/gmail account (allu-).
I thought i did this, but the same thing came up, numbers in both sync set up pages on my computer, and tablet.
So maybe I have this entirely wrong, and I need to look at it from another perspective, but whatever reason, it is becoming frustrating because I need this, want this, and can't make it happen. So I would like, no need some help with this, so I can coordinate all my devices with Firefox.
I am thinking this is possible with what I read, but like I said I am definitely missing something, or I have made some mistake, that can't be fixed, because that is what I seem to have done. HELP

That seemed to work. I have not tried to sync my other devices yet, but I am hopeful.
It almost looks like you are saying the Aurora version 28 is a version to switch to, when it is released.
Will I be notified by Mozzila when this comes out?
I know I might be taking advantage of you with these questions, but it is hard to find good answers without spending lots of time searching here, there and everywhere, so to speak.
So one more question, how come my password saving has stopped. It worked in the past but as of late, it sporadically asked me if I want to say updated passwords, and then it doesn't. I have a few sites, that use to have there passwords saved, and now I get nothing, very frustrating.
So is there anything I can do to get my passwords back.
I have switched from Ice Dragon when that didn't do well with passwords, then tried Chrome, I liked that as well, but then I realized that wasn't doing as good as Firefox did for me, so now I am back to Firefox, and that is not working very well either
Thank you for what you do.................................

Firefox does not work with the USPS self ship web site. Will not allow printing of postage labels.

Some months ago, user "junkbondman" asked this question somewhat poorly, and partly as a result got a non-responsive boilerplate answer by someone who did not read the question's key (if cryptic) point:
> Select a service type. THIS IS WHERE THE WEB SITE FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY
That's too bad, because 16 other users identified "HAVE SAME PROBLEM" - as had, no doubt, a large majority of the 677 viewers of the question. However, maybe to get a better answer we need to start with a better definition of the problem.
The way that the USPS site <cns.usps.com> works to print a label is that addresses (return and forward) are defined, the package weight and value are specified, and then a shipping mode is selected before paying and printing the label. The shipping mode is selected in a section titled "Select a service type", via an embedded table using a vertical scroll-bar that Firefox cannot handle. [Firefox is not alone in that. For example, Safari under iOS cannot scroll the embedded table, but USPS provides a mobile app which mitigates that problem by presenting the table differently.]
Now, it should be stipulated that the table is the worst element in a bad page that does not begin to pass W3 validation [71 errors, 19 warnings - looks like government work]. However, other browsers (like Google Chrome) handle that table with apparent ease. The question is whether Firefox should be able to do so - and, if so, how? As of Fx 33.0, this still does not work.
NOTES:
(1) Unfortunately, to examine this problem requires setting up a USPS account in order to see the shipping page. Setting up the account is easy, but it is a small extra burden to examining the problem.
(2) The problem has been reported to USPS, but has elicited no sign of intelligent life.

''I get the "pointer" mouse cursor when mousing over the blue bar, and I can click on it and scroll the contents as with any other scroll bar, but the bar doesn't move up and down in sync with the content being scrolled: it just stays put. If I do not slide straight down, the blue bar may twitch a pixel left or right.''
Great description! - sorry if you implied that earlier and I misunderstood, but I think that description adds crucial details:
* must hover over the ''blue'' part of the bar (representing the visible part of the table) and
* get the "selector" cursor (the pointing finger), then
* hold that click while scrolling (inside or outside of the table doesn't matter, as long as that click is held) to the needed table row, then
* release the click, and the table stays in place to allow a selection.
Most pages with an embedded scrollable input form (like the box I'm typing in on this page) do not change to the selector cursor when hovering over ''any'' part of the scroll bar, either ''blue'' (representing the visible part of the input form) or ''white'' (the invisible part of the input form). And it is common to click in the ''white'' part of the bar as a way of saying "show what is not visible". You can't do that with these USPS input forms, which behave differently.
Now, even with this method, that remains a very unintuitive (because the scroll bar does not reflect the position, and because the actual ''selections'' never get the "selector" cursor) and awkward way to work, so there is no visual feedback on either part of the operation.
And, I must try to understand why some browsers treat this differently. For example with Chrome (like Firefox), the cursor changes to "selector" in the blue part of the scroll bar, but not in the white part, but with Chrome (unlike Firefox):
- a ''click'' in the white ("invisible") part of the scroll bar or
- a ''drag'' on the blue ("visible") part of the scroll bar
causes movement in the required direction - altogether more intuitive behavior.
Bottom line: At least there is a way to make this work with Firefox, but it is awkward, to say the least. It will require a lot more thought to think about:
* how and why some browsers handle these non-standard input forms with such intuitive behavior (that is, behavior that is familiar in more standard input forms),
* whether the fact that Firefox is less accommodating in that regard is a reportable bug, or whether Firefox should not have to worry about sites (like usps.com) that can't be bothered to comply with standards.
What do you think about those questions?

Firefox Sync not working again!

Hello.
At a time when the sharing or sync'ing of information is so important, the current Firefox sync service is a disgraceful shambles. What makes this even worse, is your continuing refusal to get it properly sorted.
As appears obvious from your Twitter feed, this has been going on since April 2013.
Yet you expect mobile devices to adopt Firefox OS. Yet you can't even manage your current sync structure reliably.
Chrome's sync'ing works easily and fine between my laptop and Android devices. It is also much simpler to set up.
I find it hard to believe that you fail to prevent Firefox's slide. Enough daydreaming about new solutions, until you sort out the current mess called Sync.

I have the same problem! For a long time Firefox is not synchronized at all! Please amend your this problem without this feature in Firefox Mobile for me is useless.

ICloud sync not working with BBQ10

Hello.
Having recently swapped my iPhone 5 to BBQ10 I have been hit by an enormous amount of hassle. The main thing being the ability to sync my contacts and calender from my Mac on to the Q10.
I have followed the online instructions and it is not working. All I get is a white screen where something tries to load and nothing happens. I can't delete the account because then the white screen comes back with the loading logo. Then I have to reinstall the entire phone and start all over again. What am I doing wrong? I have the latest firware on the Q10 along with the latest Mac OS (10.8.4)
I am not a pure amateur but everything was really easy on the iPhone 5. It's a shame, I really want this to work but the Q10 is giving me no joy whatsover at the moment.

Hi All... Long time Apple user and have enjoyed many many years without a thought about malware, virus' and trojans. However as this dialog progresses I would like to share an unfortunate reality... Life was fine and then one day my MacBook Pro started to labor when opening apps/managing multiple documents/etc.. the spinning wheel - and when I pulled up the option to Force Quit - each time it would show me that one or another of my apps was 'unresponsive'. (when I did not force quit the app - it did finally become responsive after a number of minutes) Next... noticed two things; at the same time that a mac app was unresponsive - the fan in my macbook was kicked into overdrive... and the casing above the keyboards had become super hot. Researched the issue that pointed me to the possibility of malware... Chose then what was best option McAfee to scan my computer.... and yes you guessed it - two cases of malware and a trojan. McAfee put them in 'quarantine' and I restarted my laptop... Like magic - no unresponsive apps - the fans were calm and the case was no longer excessively hot. This was great for about a month and then it happened again... ran the scan (with McAfee and Sophos) and found a new case of malware that was found in my email database and dated as received that day - once the virus was quarantined - my macbook was happy again. Now I run realtime virus scanner - seems like about 3-5 weeks and something will show up and - 99.9% time imbedded within an email - but computer is running as it should fast, cool and quiet.

Firefox 4b8 not working with Shockwave for Director 11.5.9.615

Have installed Firefox 4b8 and Shockwave for Director 11.5.9.615. 
Also have Firefox 3.6.13 with '''separate profile'''. 
Director plugin works fine in Firefox 3.6.13 but not in Firefox 4b8. 
Loading a Shockwave for Director page is initially blocked in both Firefox versions by NoScript;
*clicking on the space for the game/whatever loads in Firefox 3.6.13
*clicking on the space for the game/whatever in Firefox 4b8, the entire space for the game/whatever disappears and never re-appears
What I have already tried:
#Uninstalled Shockwave for Director and re-installed - no change
#Firefox 4b8 in Safe Mode - no change
#Tested Firefox 4b8 on Mozilla plugins site - shows correct current version
#Tested Firefox 4b8 on Adobe site with games - won't work (Firefox 3.6.13 works on same site)
#Copied '''''np32dsw.dll''''' to Firefox 4b8 installation folder/plugins, ran same tests -no change
Any suggestions?

Found a solution based somewhat on cor-el's reply with some interesting differences in Firefox 3.6.13 and 4b8. '''cor-el''', please see my question at the end.
I added the item (boolean) ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll'' in about:config and set it to false. There was no change. I changed the value of that item to true and the box/area where the SWF item was to be located on the page did not disappear as before -- that was an improvement! -- but the SWF item would not load.
I then discovered that I needed to allow a site (temporarily) in NoScript and everything worked.
Some interesting differences and findings in Firefox 3.6.13 and 4b8 regarding this situation; all based on the same web site behavior with the 2 versions of Firefox:
#preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll''
#*Firefox 3.6.13 '''does not''' require the preference to exist in order to work
#*Firefox 4b8 '''requires''' the preference, set to true, for everything to work as expected '''
#**the preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled'' can be set to '''false''' or to true with no negative difference in behavior (the preference ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled'' when set to false seems to be ignored when ''dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np32dsw.dll'' is set to true)
#NoScript (same version and exactly the same settings in NoScript for both versions of Firefox)
#*Firefox 3.6.13 '''does not''' require user to temporarily allow any other domain for the item to work properly
#*Firefox 4b8 '''requires''' the user to temporarily allow another domain for the item to work properly
'''cor-el:'''
*Should I post this in Bugzilla for investigation?
*It would be good to know what the difference is in 4b8 that necessitates the 2 above items in 4b8 and not in 3.6.13 on the same web site.

Bookmark sync not working with large set and maybe javascript bookmark bookmarklets??

Bookmark sync via iCloud doesn't seem to work for me. I use Chrome as my primary browser but keep a huge set of bookmarks synced to Safari via Xmarks.
Basically I either get no bookmarks on my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 1) or a huge number of repeated versions of 1Password's very large java bookmark.
I've tested by deleting all my Safari bookmarks and starting with a clean Mac. When I do this everything works and changes on any device propagate to the others.
As soon as I bring in my big bookmark set from Xmarks, it all breaks.
Do I need to perform the bookmark clean up I've been putting off for a decade or so?

Can't help with your bidirectional bookmark syncing question but try this for backing up your touch's bookmarks.
Export/backup all of your Safari/Internet Explorer bookmarks (depending on where you're syncing them from) and keep them is a safe place. This is your master bookmarks list. Then delete all bookmarks/folders from your browser. Now sync your bookmarks with the touch with the following iTunes settings:
Under your touch's 'Info' tab, select the checkbox 'Sync bookmarks with Internet Explorer/Safari'.
After syncing, your touch's bookmarks (and only those from your touch) will be synced to your browser. Now export/backup these bookmarks...these are your touch's bookmarks. Now you have a both a backup of your master bookmarks and your touch's bookmarks. When you want to sync/restore your touch's bookmarks back to the touch, delete all your PC browser's bookmarks and import the touch bookmarks:
Under iTunes/your touch/'Info'/Web browser & Advanaced, select the checkboxes 'sync bookmarks with IE/Safari' and 'Replace information on this iPod: Bookmarks' and sync again.
This will transfer your touch's bookmarks back to the touch. Now delete all bookmarks again from IE/Safari and re-import your master bookmarks. Note that after importing them back in, they will likely be in alphabetical order rather than the date added order.
Also note that (at least in Windows) your browser needs to be open for bookmark syncing to take place.
