Error during firefox sync account creation, do I need to make a new email now?

So I tried to make a firefox sync account years ago when it was first made, but I messed something up and never got the email confirmation to finish creating the account. I said "Forget this!" and went to do something else.
Yesterday I wanted to sync my desktop firefox with my new laptop, and tried to make a firefox sync account. I used my new primary email address, entered the account information and captcha in, and started the creation. The verification stage was taking a very long time, so I thought I had entered the captcha incorrectly, so I tried entering the captcha again.
That caused the verification to fail, and now I have another email address in firefox sync limbo. Is there anything I can do? I'm running out of email addresses! :\

hello, you could try if a reset email is sent to your account when you use https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot

  • I deleted my Firefox Sync Account. How can I set up a new account on the same device?

    Now, when I open Firefox, and go to Tools, there is only the option to "Sync Now," rather than the option to "Set Up Sync." My account is definitely deleted, b/c Sync replies "Unable to locate your account" if I try to sync. How do I set up a new Sync Account on this same device? Thanks.

    karenbee,
    Here's the solution for PCs: Tools>Options, then click Sync in the Options window. Good luck.

  • I had synced all my infos (passwords etc.) in my old laptop but today, when I linked my new laptop with my firefox sync account, I didn't find my saved infos.

    Before I came to my new place, I had saved all my info like passwords, bookmarks etc. in my old laptop and synced them with my Firefox sync account. But, after I came to my new place, I bought a new laptop. But when I signed in my Firefox sync account in my new laptop, I didn't find all those bookmarks or saved passwords. What do I do?

    Yes, I would say that your passwords are gone. When the Sync Key is "updated" as indicated in that part of the sync-log that I cropped, the server is wiped of the users data because that data is useless. That Sync key is the encryption key for the users data when that data is off the user's devices which are connected to Firefox Sync. No one except for the person with the correct Sync Key (the "owner" of that Sync account) can use that data as the data is scrambled.
    I am curious about the full text of the last two sync-log files, 11kb and 38kb is a lot more data than usual for a sync-log. On my 3 separate Sync accounts I usually see sync-log files of 3kb to 8 kb when there is an error-. Problem is that this forum software doesn't provide for file uploads, and doing a copy&paste of that data into the Reply Box doesn't preserve the line formatting - making it very difficult to read and follow the sequence of events.
    Sorry we didn't have a successful conclusion.

    I delete my Firefox Sync account by mistake. I cannot use my regular email address to create an account for syncing with my iphone and ipad.. How can I get it to accept my regular email address?

    Did you really delete that Sync account?
    Does it work if you ask for a new password?

  • How do I enter multiple email addresses for a Firefox Sync account?

    How do I enter my multiple email addresses for one Firefox Sync account?

    Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

  • I deleted my Firefox Sync account at one point, but would like to create a new one using the same email address. Is this possible?

    I had a Firefox Sync account a while back on an email address and then I deleted it. Now I want to use Firefox Sync again. I had forgotten that I deleted my account, but after trying to send password reset emails to that address and failing to receive them I can only conclude that the email is still on record in Firefox Sync, even if the account has been deleted.
    Is it possible for me to set up a new account using this email address? Trying to set it up through Firefox tells me that the email address is in use, when from my point of view it is not.

    Strangely enough, sending the email from account.services.mozilla.com did the trick this time! Thanks.

  • Cannot generate a Key. Manage Account menu doesn't show up even after following Help articles. Correct username, e-mail and password. I already have a Firefox Sync Account but cannot Add a Device. No way to Sync due to no Key.

    I cannot generate a Key to Sync between two computers. Manage Account menu doesn't show under Options > Sync > Firefox Sync Setup > I already have a Firefox Sync Account > I don't have the Device with me. No Sync Key no matter how hard I tried.

    Yes I did. '''''I solved this issue last night.''''' First I had to Clear My Sync Data, then Yes I Already Have a Sync Account [enter User, Password] and only then the Key appeared in its proper field. Went to the 2nd computer and wrote down the Key after I Already Have a Sync Account. The bottleneck was to enter into Mozilla server after resetting pass and user, and then, clear data.

  • Impossible to create a Firefox Sync account - captcha is "parked domain"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a Firefox Sync account, and cannot find a way to display the captcha part of the registration process. The area is empty when I don't use my company's proxy, and if I use it, I see that the missing part is an iframe from http://www.misc.com/1.0/captcha.html, which is a parked domain for sale ...
    Here are some screenshots of what I see :

  • When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
    The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync.

  • What if I have 2 firefox sync accounts?

    What if I have 2 separate firefox sync accounts from different computers? If I log out of one and try to log on the other on the same computer, it says it will merge the 2. How does that work?

    Hi mmqb817,
    This means that the profile that you are attaching to the second account will be merged with the profile that you are logging into. If you wish to maintain two different accounts, to avoid this, you may need to create a new profile.
    All the selected synced parts of the profile (ie. passwords, bookmarks) will be merged in the cloud then sync down to the newly attached profile.
