I set up firefox sync on two desktops; setting it up on a third fails with "unknown error" after I input the key. All other add-ons are disabled. What should I do?

I followed the same procedure in adding a device for the second and for the third. The second one worked, but not the third.
As far as I know, all software is up to date.

ok.. I tried this three times and kept getting that access denied thing when I clicked post my questions. So now maybe I wont have to typ this a fifth time....
I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

  • After updating to Firefox 8.01 all my add-ons are disabled & I have to manually reinstall those that still work after each reboot??

    After updating to Firefox 8.0 & 8.01 all my add-ons were disabled.
    I have to reinstall those that still can be enabled manually after each reboot. These, that I can reinstall, are:
    Download Helper 4.9.7/WOT 20111107/Adblock 1.3.10/DivX plus Web Player HTML5 2.1.2.145/
    All my other add-ons are incompatible with this version of Firefox! This includes Ghostery which I particularly miss,
    This is annoying!

    Ghostery: Works with Firefox 3.5 - 11.0a1: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

  • Sync fails with "Unknown Error" no clear UI shows what happened

    I'm using the latest Firefox 3.6 with the latest sync extension on some machines and the latest Firefox beta (4.0b6) on another machine. A few weeks ago the sync stopped work on my Firefox Beta and the only error I could see is: Error while syncing: Unknown error.
    I took the time today to to see what happens and saw on the log (about:sync-log) that:

    This raises two questions. First, the UI does not shows exactly what happened. This kind of issues with upgrades on the sync platform should be expected.
    Second, this shows that a regular user shouldn't be using sync with different Firefox versions. This is quite usual, I think (a more stable version on work and newer version on home) and should be expected.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Even I had similar issue however it got resolved by itself, so it could be something to do with external to CM12 as Umair mentioned.

  • Sync failing with unknown error - previously worked

    Over the past month, my desktop Firefox has started displaying the dreaded “Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.” message. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the browser, but it still does it.
    Unlike other reporters, I'm not seeing any obvious issues that might pertain to my profile (e.g., corrupted places.sqlite). All seems innocuous until it ends with things along the lines of:

    Hello,
    Thanks for letting us know about your problem. It seems that there is some problem in your profile. Creating a new profile may fix your problem. Create a new profile and sync with your Firefox Account.
    For Creating a profile, Please do following:
    If Firefox is already included in your Linux distribution or if you have installed Firefox with the package manager of your Linux distribution:
    # Close your Firefox.
    # In '''Terminal''' run: <br/> <code>firefox -P</code>
    # To start the Create Profile Wizard, click '''Create Profile...''' Button in the Profile Manager.
    # Click {button Next} and enter the name of the profile. Use a profile name that is descriptive, such as your personal name. This name is not exposed on the Internet.
    # To create the new profile, click '''Finish'''
    For more instruction regarding creating a new profile, please see this article. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

  • Why do I have to force quit firefox? All my plug-ins and add-ons are disabled, and still firefox cannot quit.

    Apple Q and Firefox > Quit Firefox do not work. The only thing that works is FORCE QUIT.

    If Firefox hangs (stops responding) when you try to clear the cache and cookies and you have already disabled all Extensions and Plugins from the Firefox (Tools) '''Add-ons''' manager, then the problem could be one of the files in your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]]. See [[Firefox hangs]] and try creating a new Places database, by opening the profile folder (via "Help -> [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page|Troubleshooting Information]] -> Show in Finder"), then quitting Firefox, and deleting the file(s) '''places.sqlite''' and '''places.sqlite-journal''' (if it exists).
    If that doesn't help:
    Try creating a new Firefox profile for testing (this will not remove your existing profile ; you can choose between the two in the Firefox Profile Manager). See [[Managing profiles]] for details. For other ideas, see [[Basic Troubleshooting]].

  • When using Firefox, PDFs won't load natively on Mac Mountain Lion (10.8.2), even when all add-ons are disabled. No issue using Firefox on PC

  • Every time I turn on my computer and open Firefox all my add ons are open in tabs and I have to enable all of them all the time, how can I fix this?

    I'm using Firefox v. 20.0.1 and Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It should be necessary to confirm that you want to install third-party extensions.<br />
    This usually indicates that other software is messing with files in the profile folder and is corrupting them.<br />
    This can either be the extensions.sqlite database file or the prefs.js that stores first run prefs (the first is the most likely cause).
    Do you have any cleanup software running on a schedule that may be causing this?
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • Sync continually fails with "Unknown error." Been happening recently (used to work). Anyone else having this problem?

    Mac OS X 10.6.7, Firefox 4.0.1.
    Sync Now from the menu likewise fails.
    Attempting to get the sync quotas from the Preferences also comes back with a similar error.

    To add a clarifying point in my case, which may or may not be universal for the others having this problem as well: it came within minutes of the update to 4.0.1, so it seems likely it has to do with the new version. OP said it used to work but started happening recently, so it could be the same cause as mine, given the recent release of the update, and OP's indication that 4.0.1 is also in use.

  • Unknown error when trying to set up Firefox Sync

    I try to set up Firefox Sync but as I fill in my e-mail address on the first line i first get the message "invalide e-mail account" (or similar) but then when I continue to complete it with [email protected] it just says "unknown error". I have tried several different e-mail addresses on two different computers but the same annoying unknown error message keeps coming up.
    What am I supposed to do about that?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • If I set up Firefox synch on two computers, will I lose the bookmarks on one of the computers, or does synch combine the bookmarks of both computers onto both browsers?

    If I set up Firefox Synch on two computers, will I lose all the bookmarks, preferences, etc. on one of the computers, because they will be replaced with the other computer's Firefox bookmarks, etc.? Or will the synch combine bookmarks, etc. of both computers, so that bothe browsers have all the bookmarks that were present in both browsers? If I add synch to a third computer, will those bookmarks also be added to the existing ones for all the other computers?

    Help please

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.
