Why does Firefox keep asking me to set up my Sync account when I've already done it TWICE?

Seems every time I restart my computer and open firefox, it forgets that I have already set up my sync account. Under Options/Sync is says "set up firefox sync." I have done it 2 times now and the browser still "forgets." Any idea what's wrong?
I'm using Firefox 4 and an iPhone 4 with the app. I successfully synced 2 times with my iphone and then firefox proceeds to act like I never did. Very buggy!

Hi Sigmo,
You can turn those messages off, no problem.
# In Firefox on your tablet, go to '''about:config'''
# Use the search box at the top right to find '''browser.snippets.syncPromo.enabled''' and change it to '''false'''
# Enjoy not being nagged about Sync any more. :)
Hope that does the trick!

  • Why does Safari keep asking me to set up a Twitter account

    Whenever I sign in to Twitter, Safari asks me "Would you like to allow other OS X applications to use this Twitter account?". I would like to use this feature but is there a way to avoid answering the question every time I sign in?

    ISSUE FINALLY RESOLVED!!!!!!
    So, it turns out, I had to restore the iPhone...with a twist! Here are the steps:
    FIRST BACK UP YOUR DEVICE
    1. Go to the library (Hold option, click on "go" in the finder, then go to library)
    2. Go to your iTunes folder in this Library (not application support, the main iTunes folder)
    3. Go to the iX software folder (i.e., iPhone software, iPad software, etc.) and delete the file in this folder
    4. Hook up the phone and then click on restore iPhone.
    At this point, it will redownload the entire OS again. You must then restore the iPhone. As it is downloading the iOS, you can disconnect and use your phone for probably however long you want (I did the restore the same day as the download) and when you are ready you can hook up the phone and restore it.
    THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP FOLLOWS:
    And one many may dislike. Upon restoring the phone, you MUST select "Set-Up as new iPhone"
    You need to make sure you've backed up EVERYTHING elsewhere. 3rd party, non-apple/icloud apps will lose data through this method, and you'll lose all texts, your call history, and super old voicemails. The upside is that, if you've backed up, then you can just restart the process if you forgot something. But seeing as how the popup was interfering with my ability to use iCloud (I couldn't sync anything, such as calendar events, reminders, etc.,  unless I had gone into mail to sign in to iCloud), it was totally worth it....no more popups.
    My only wish is that this thread becomes popular. Many people have this issue and you should only use this method as a super last resort (after trying literally everything I had written previously).

  • Why does firefox keep asking to update to 23.0.1 over and over agian after doing the update? (win 7 Home Prem)

    Updated up to V23.0 apparently with no problems (23.0 shown on Firefox/Help/About), Now keep getting the update to 23.0.1, I install it and everything seems fine, then the next day I get yet another request to update to 23.0.1. Now on at least 5th iteration. Op system is Win 7 home premium.

    Life's too short for this. I just turned off the auto update and will wait for the next update.

  • Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

    I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.<br />

  • Why does FaceTime keep asking for the password for my email account?

    Is it secure to provide the password for my email address to FaceTime?

    Usually when that happens it is a problem on the mail provider's end.
    In time they will catch it and it will end. Until then, there's nothing you can do on your end.

  • Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

    Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
    Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

    You are running Firefox 34, the most recent version is 35.0.1. If you are having trouble updating, please try downloading the most recent version from www.getfirefox.com and installing it over your existing version. It will save your information but update Firefox to the newest version.

    Photoshop Elements Photoshop elements 12 keeps wanting me to register the product after installing but keeps telling me I have no internet connection or the clock is wrong, why does it keep asking me this? I have register online via the main webpage.

    Hi,
    You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
    If you are having problems, see if the following helps.
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    Good luck

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

    Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

    I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

  • Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

    Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

    A bit - it tells me that iPhoto has nothing to do with it but it is a server you are trying to publish to. What server? ME,com? FaceBook.com? Flickr.com? ????
    The first thing to do is go to the servers listed in your iPhoto preferences and re-enter the usernmae and password for the service that you have the incorrect information for
