Does FIrefox Sync sync the extensions' settings between computers? I mean the individual settings and customizations of different extensions?

The question has all the details necessary.

No, sync only synchronizes prefs that are white-listed via a special services.sync.prefs.sync. pref that you can inspect or create via the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If you want to sync additional prefs then you can create a corresponding sync pref yourself and set the value to true.
* services.sync.prefs.sync.*
There are services.sync.prefs prefs related to set which prefs to sync and you can set the corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.xxx pref to false to prevent syncing a pref.

  • Does Firefox reset all the root certificates and root certificate settings whenever an upgrade is installed?

    Does Firefox reset all the root certificates and root certificate settings whenever an upgrade is installed?

    Root certificates are stored in the file nssckbi.dll and if you've disabled build-in root certificates then it is possible that they get re-enabled. There is however no reason to disable any of the build-in root certificates.

  • My Firefox synced the "wrong way" and I need to recover my bookmarks.

    On Wednesday I opened Firefox on my WORK computer (PC) after a long hiatus and it recommended I refresh Firefox since I hadn't used it in so long. It said it would preserve all my bookmarks, etc. Did so, everything was fine.
    Yesterday I logged on to Firefox on my HOME computer (Mac) and then about a minute later my very detailed Bookmarks toolbar started to change and is missing tons of bookmarks and looks completely/different disorganized. I logged onto Firefox sync hoping it would look like my WORK computer again but it did not.
    Today I'm back on my WORK computer. I logged into sync since I guess the refresh on Wednesday had logged me out. And now my WORK computer looks like the same bookmark mess as my HOME computer. I wanted it to sync the other way around - make my HOME computer look like my WORK computer!
    How can I get my bookmarks back and make that happen?
    Thank you!

    You can disconnect Sync and restore the bookmarks from a backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • I have Firefox Sync, the new version, and it isn't working on my devices, is there a fix?

    I installed Firefox 32.0.2 on my laptop. It is new and this is the first version to install on this computer.
    I installed Firefox 32.0.2 on my desktop. It installed as an "update" since I already had Firefox installed.
    Previously, sync worked fine between my devices, to include a laptop, an Andriod smartphone and a desktop. When I installed this new Firefox, it no longer syncs.
    When I go to about:sync on my laptop it tells me that it is syncing and will begin momentarily. The desktop is my primary device with all my bookmarks and passwords. When I go to about:sync-log, I get the following error. This is the FIRST time I have gotten this error, having logged out and logged back in about ten times. Anyone know the solution??

    If it is an iPhone 5 try holding the left side of the button down very hard.  That Power Button Issue which can render the button totally unusable typically goes bad in an uneven way allowing some function in the way I described.  You can use Assistive Touch under Accessibility to power the phone down.

  • Firefox does not sync the bookmarks icons. Why?

    Firefox does not sync the bookmarks icons. Why?

    Having the same problem. Uninstall and reinstall did not help. Is there any progress on this? I'm using the latest android OS, and sync is working just fine on my other devices. The android phone is syncing my tabs but not my bookmarks.

  • How often does Firefox Sync back-up data? I see there is no preference selection allowing you to change the pre-set frequency (whatever that interval may be).

    How often does Firefox Sync back-up data? I see there is no preference selection allowing you to change the pre-set frequency (whatever that interval may be).

    However, the sync action only triggers every 60-minute and there is no user-configurable option provided. Although one can put a Sync icon onto the toolbar for easier access, it is still far from practical needs.
    To unlock this limitation, do the following:
    1) Type “about:config” at the address bar
    2) Search for “services.sync.syncInterval”
    3) Change the value from 3600000 (milliseconds = 3600 seconds = 60 minutes) to any value (in millisecond) of your choice
    4) Close and restart Firefox
    The Sync action will now trigger at the interval you just set.

  • After installing Firefox again, I wanted to get back my settings, bookmarks etc. by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser

    After formatting the partition and installing Firefox again, I wanted to get my settings, bookmarks etc. back by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser was uploaded and now I cannot have the browser the way I used to have. Is there any way to reverse this changes?

    Hi zoomy,
    First check that you still have data in your sync account.
    Firefox button > Options > Sync > Manage Account
    It should tell you how much data is stored in the account. Is there any?
    If there is still data in the sync account then you can follow the instructions in this article [[What is Firefox Sync?]]. Refer to the 'How much of my data is synced?' section. Change the option to 'Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data'.
    I hope that works for you.
    If there is no data in your sync account you will be able to get it back by syncing from another computer. Just make sure that the settings on that computer are not replaced by the blank account again. You can use the 'Replace all other devices with this computer's data' option to prevent this.
    Please note that Firefox Sync is designed only to sync details between devices not as an online backup tool. If you are formatting a partition it is generally best to backup your profile folder along with any other data. See [[Managing profiles]] for more detail.

  • Does firefox sync work with os 10.5.x or on earlier versions of os? How?

    I have not upgraded my secondary computer to OS 10.6. It remains at 10.5. Must I upgrade to 10.6 to use Firefox sync?

    The only requirement is to have the same Firefox Sync version installed on all computers. The OS doesn't matter as long as you can install Firefox and the extension.

  • Firefox Sync synchronizes DPI settings for Gmail

    I set up Firefox Sync on a computer with a large monitor (a TV actuall) and I had to increase the DPI in the Gnome monitor settings in order for text to be readable on the large monitor. Now, using Firefox Sync on a laptop with a much smaller monitor, it appears the DPI settings have been synced for Gmail. Gmail somehow stores this information and Firefox has synced it. Is there a way to avoid this? Perhaps I should ask Google instead?

  • How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
    Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
    If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
    If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

  • Why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    Hey ThierryWillame,
    Thanks for the question. Were these songs purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, see the following resource. If not, follow the same steps for the content, based on how you acquired it (delete and re-add).
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.
