Can I use Firefox sync on a pc that is not mine?

can Firefox sync be used on public computers, i.e. university computers that I have a user account available to use?
Or would other people be able to access my bookmarks etc because its a public computer?

What you need to consider is whether if you '''save''' bookmarks on the computer will they be accessible to others. Computers for public use sometmes save files in areas accessible to all users. You probably need to consult your university IT department if you are unsure.
Similar considerations may apply to documents that you may keep on the University computer.

  • Can I use Firefox Sync on a public computer, as I did with Xmarks?

    I am going to miss Xmarks. How can I use Firefox Sync when I go to an internet cafe?

    Sync doesn't allow this because the data is encrypted by the client — in order to provide web access we'd need to be able to read your data (or hand it over to the FBI!) and we don't want to do that.

  • How can I use Firefox WITHOUT updating it? I do not have the "authority" on my work computer to do this, so I can't use firefox.

    I do not have the "authority" on my work computer to do this, so I can't use firefox at work. Also, some of our programs do not work with the latest version of firefox..

  • My phone can't use Firefox Sync anymore, says it's "deprecated."

    On my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze running Ice Cream Sandwich, I'm suddenly having trouble with Firefox Sync. It was working fine yesterday, and today, I noticed that an update to Firefox for Android was installed.
    So I'm trying to send a tab from my phone straight to my computer, but no dice. I've already checked the "Accounts and sync" portion of my phone's settings. Firefox Sync is listed with the proper email address, and I haven't removed my phone from the list of allowed devices for my account. Oddly, Firefox Sync is shown as being deprecated. My phone literally shows my email address, and under it, "Firefox Sync (deprecated)".
    Anybody else having this problem, and is there a fix for it? Any info would be much appreciated.

    So, sending a tab '''from''' my phone '''to''' my PC worked yesterday with the standard build, but is now somehow a Nightly-specific feature? Why? It doesn't make any sense.

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

  • Can I use firefox sync with my htc windows mobile? It is neither a droid phone or an iphone.

    I have the htc HD2 mobile and it is a windows system. How do I sync Firefox with it? Is it possible to do this?

    We're not currently developing Firefox for Windows Mobile, but there is an old pre-release version that you can try out here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms

  • How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

    This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
    I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
    A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
    So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

    Strange problem.
    Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
    Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
    For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
    - a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
    - a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
    - a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
    If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

  • How can i use an ipod on my itunes that is not connected to my itunes without deleting the song already on it

    it is an ipod a friend gave me because i lost mine but i want to keep some songs that are already on the ipod and i also want to delete songs off

    Well, the best way is to restore the backup that you made before you reformatted the Windows machine.
    Barring that, open iTunes, go to Preferences, Devices, and check the box to disable automatic sync. Then connect the phone to your computer, and go to the File menu, Devices/Transfer Purchases. This should copy all of the iTunes content on your phone to your computer.

  • Use Firefox Sync to store bookmarks in the cloud?

    Can I setup Firefox Sync even if I only have one device? If so, can I use Firefox Sync to backup my bookmarks to the cloud (instead of using a third-party extension?) I'm guessing that Sync stores bookmarks in the cloud because how else would it be able to merge bookmarks with another device (e.g., a phone)?

    Sync does indeed store the data you choose to Sync in the cloud.
    Because you need to retain a lengthy unique code in order to recover that data from a different installation of Firefox, many users find it not to be a good method of backup because that Recovery Key was lost in a hard drive crash or reformat. Make sure you store the key in a safe location outside of your computer along with your username and password.
    If you end up choosing to use a different cloud backup service such as Crashplan or Carbonite, you can point it to your bookmarkbackups folder so you have a number of files for potential recovery. To get the full path to that hidden folder, the easiest way is to access it from within Firefox.
    You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Double-click bookmarkbackups. You should see numerous files that are date and time coded. You can click after the folder name in the address bar to select and copy the path. (This is based on Windows 7, but I assume Windows 8.1 is similar from the desktop side.)

  • Do I have to use add-ons or can I use Firefox savely without add-ons?

    Can I use Firefox savely without add-ons? If not, how will I know which add-ons are needed? How save are the add-ons? What if an add-on contains a bug or a mistake? Will I get updates automatically?

    Add-ons are optional. I find some of them incredibly useful, but you probably will end up with different ones that suit your needs or interests.
    If the add-ons are installed from the Mozilla Add-ons site, then they are checked for updates on a regular basis.
    Some add-ons will have bugs or cause conflicts with other add-ons or web sites. You can see the evidence of that on this forum, especially after major upgrades... All that flexibility makes Firefox harder to support, but everyone wants choice. :-)
    I should add that much of the web does not work correctly with the Adobe Flash plugin, so maybe that one isn't so optional.

    Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.

    Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.

    Enter your account email address
    Enter your password
    Enter your Recovery Key
    Then click Next
    You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.

  • 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?

    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.

    Can anyone help?
