Deleted my navigation data on a browser using Firefox Sync

Yesterday I started using a private tab in Firefox for Android, but I accidently switched to a regular tab. And an unwanted site got registered in my history and as auto-complete sugestion... I didn't find any way to remove these individual entries, I got desperate so I deleted the whole navigation data in Firefox for Android. I use Firefox Sync and I still have my old data in my laptop (it uses Ubuntu), but I tried and I can't get the old data back in Android.
I have 3 questions:
- Is is possible to delete indivual entries of history and auto-complete suggestion in Firefox for Android?
- Is it possible to get the old navigation data back in my Android device?

HI,
Yes and Yes.
# you can open a new tab and see the history list. Tap and hold the unwanted history and select "Remove"
# You would have to sync the device to the account. Also you can swipe to history on a new tab and swipe between history and history from today after is syncs to confirm if it is there.

Has anyone used Firefox Sync and Xmarks at the same time?

Firefox is my primary desktop browser. On my desktops, I use Xmarks because I use Firefox, IE and Chrome. It enables me to keep my bookmarks synced across browsers as well as use home/work profiles, etc. However, I'd like to use Firefox Sync so I can sync the bookmarks to my smartphone. Has anyone successfully tried this? I thought I'd ask before trying it myself just in case. Thanks!

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.

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.

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.)

Add another computer
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.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
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?

Can I sync my data from x marks to Firefox sync?

x marks is not working with my fire fox so can I import that data from x marks to firefox sync?

No, not directly. Firefox Sync works with the data that is '''''in''''' Firefox, it can't import data from another application or from another service like Xmarks.

Firefox sync worked fine until I upgraded Firefox to version 5.0.1, then all my bookmarks added since I started use Firefox sync dissapeared

Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 all bookmarks I added since I started use Firefox Sync dissapeared, only old bookmarks remain. Before upgrade syncing worked fine.

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

I can't delete movies from my netflix queue while using Firefox v9.0.1 but can with other browsers.

Using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit; Firefox v9.0.1; website affected Netflix
I can't effect complete deletion of movies from my netflix.com streaming queue while using Firefox (v9.0.1). I contacted Netflix by phone and we checked my browser settings, ensuring they were where they needed to be. They suggested trying to effect the same using other browsers and I had no problem with Chrome allowing me to make a complete and effective deletion. My plugins are all up-to-date and any incompatible ones have been disabled. My problem has been an ongoing thing for months and I wanted to let Mozilla know it exists. If anyone else has been having this problem, please notify Mozilla so they realize it's not just an isolated incident and (hopefully) will look into finding the problem and fixing it.

Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.

Internal HTTPS data no longer accessible using Firefox 7. "Corrupted Data" error. OK using IE8.

We access our spam filter program using an internal HTTPS URL on port 8080. (https:/xxxxxSBS:8080) We can get to the Spam Filter login page, but when I try to login I get an error:
Corrupted Content Error
-The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
-The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

It worked fine using Firefox 5, and works fine using IE8.

This preview window - is it the one in Acrobat 10.1.4 when you choose to print a PDF (or a PDF made from an HTML)? If it's a preview in a browser, this seems like maybe a Mac OS problem; Acrobat doesn't make that preview.

How can I copy my bookmarks without using Firefox Sync?

I am just not comfortable putting my personal data onto an online server, which is what I'm doing with Firefox Sync. Is there a way to copy my bookmarks onto a flash drive, like we used to be able to do?

Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Export HTML... - to a USB stick <br />

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.
