Firefox Profile :: Gravatar Fails to Sync

I have attempted multiple times to update my Firefox Profile Gravatar image, but it refuses to sync. I am asked to wait 10 minutes and/or clear cache and cookies, but after waiting over 20 minutes and clearing cache and cookies the issue is still unresolved. I have provided a screencast below, along with my OS and browser settings.
Screencast 1: (Updated Profile): http://screencast.com/t/Kr9Kv8ZYaPC

NOTE: I have added the Firefox browser toubleshooter add-on (1.1a) as prompted by the "Troubleshooting Information" that appears below the Details entry field, but due to another technical issue I have reported here on Firefox Support, it is currently disabled via Safe Mode (see thread here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015197?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s).
Can you investigate and advise a resolution?

Weird, I just added an email to the gravatar account and added an image to the gravatar.com profile. However I am still waiting for the image to change. If you get this and you see the violin still please post back. I watched the screencasts and it looks correct. I will also contact sumodev
I also tried to change it with admin edit and could not.

How do I set up a separate "sync" profile for each firefox profile?

I use separate Firefox Profiles for different purposes, each with it's own set of bookmarks. On XMarks, it is relatively simple to have different profiles, but can the same thing be done in Firefox sync? One account, multiple profiles.

hi gray001,
to have separated Libraries from iTunes for your wife and you, i would recommend that you create a new second windows user account
thats the easiest way to avoid mix up of itunes content
if you create a second windows user account - itunes is already installed and only needs to be configured for your wife

How to sync two firefox profiles, everything except localstore.rdf

Yesterday, I asked about linking cache between two firefox profiles:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925836
And I got to thinking. The only reason I'm even making a second profile is to have two "saved window locations" for multi-monitor purposes. I want these profiles to be EXACTLY the same except for the location in which they are opened (which is saved in localstore.rdf). It occurred to me that with my current setup in the above thread, even though the caches are now linked.. I will still have to change bookmarks twice. Have two different histories, saved passwords, etc. All minor inconveniences at best, but it would still be nice to avoid them!
Like I said, I want these profiles identical except for the locations in which they are opened. I know there are extensions for syncing profiles, but they all seem to be 1 star performance hindering messes. I'd rather do it manually, as I did with the cache. Possible?

I do not know enough to give a proper answer but some comments that may help:
I am not sure I follow what you ask. Is the saved Windows location you are interested in the coordinates and size of the Window that Firefox view opens in ?
I have never worked with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf], but I have often manually edited [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] which points to the profile, that in turn contains the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite places.sqlite] (bookmarks and history database) and your cache.
If you are interested in the cachecontents:
* use about:cache
* note there are addons that help with viewing cache content
I am not too clear on what you are doing. If you use ''-no-remote'' and start up a Firefox instance with a particular profile then that sees the same bookmarks as any other instance or version of Firefox started with the same profile, but a profile can not be opened twice simultaneously by Firefox. (My understanding of what you say in the other thread is that you have no problem with that.)
Rather clunky and slow, but you could consider writing simple DOS batch files that will modify commandlines or copy files as part of launching Firefox.

Firefox sync fails while syncing passwords

Hi all,
I have this problem on all but one of my computers.
Firefox sync constantly nags about "Error while syncing" and gives further details "sync encountered an error while syncing: unknown error."
When I check about:sync-log I see:
"2011-01-14 10:59:33 Service.Main DEBUG passwords failed: NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING JS Stack trace: Channel_onStopRequest([object XPCWrappedNative_NoHelper],null,2153185310)@resource.js:438 < Res__request(...)@resource.js:357 < Res_get()@resource.js:376 < SyncEngine__processIncoming()@engines.js:511 < ()@engines.js:203 < SyncEngine__sync()@engines.js:768 < ()@engines.js:203 < WrappedNotify()@util.js:147 < Engine_sync()@engines.js:213 < WeaveSvc__syncEngine([object Object])@service.js:1738 < ()@service.js:1624 < WrappedNotify()@util.js:147 < WrappedLock()@util.js:119 < WrappedCatch()@util.js:97 < sync()@service.js:1529 < (22)@sync.js:380"
All other engines seem to work (passwords, tabs...) but passwords.
I have tried resetting sync to no avail
I have tried "stop using this account" and set up sync again using same account to no avail.
I have this same issue on 64bit Win7 with Firefox 4b8 and sync version 1.6.1 and 32bit WinXP with Firefox 3.6.13 and sync version 1.6.1
The computer that has sync running with no errors is 32bit WinXP with Firefox 4b8 with sync version 1.6.1
Some of the passwords seem to sync, as when after I have tried resetting sync I have 76 saved passwords and on other computer there are over 300 saved passwords.
It would be nice to be able to use sync yet again and be able to believe it is doing its work reliably!

Seems to be a common bug. Post and vote for the bug fix on bugzilla.

Microsoft backup has begun to fail, slowing dramatically while reading firefox\profile\i75smlo9.default

I've had this HP laptop about a year. Three weeks ago the Microsoft backup began failing. Error message related to shadow files. The backup seemed to run fine until it hit firefox\profile\i75smlo9.default at 15% into the backup, dragged horribly to about 25% and then gave up.

how shall i fix and restore firefox as i am desperate please , please help....

Does that Profiles/2tt76737.default still exist?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Synchronization Failed. Error is Firefox service initialization failed. 
I have been having this issue for quite some time with Firefox. I am using the Nightly build (23.0a1) and have been using for more than 2 years. Synchronization was working fine till a few weeks ago. Synchronization of XMarks on Chrome Dev works fine and no problem. It's only with Firefox. Things I've tried but no success:
1) I deleted my profile off of xmarks and created a new one and tried syncing again. No success. 
2) deleted firefox, deleted the profile folder under AppData. Reinstalled everything fresh, and still no success. 
My log file shows the following... Not sure what to check. Anyone help me? Thanks!

Re Patrick's suggestion above, I was able to get Xmarks working again on both my Win 7 laptop and desktop today by uninstalling my Aurora browser completely and then installing the regular release version of Firefox, 20.0.1.
When I uninstalled Aurora, it asked me if I wanted to keep my customizations and personal data, and even though it meant a bit more restoration work later, I decided to try erasing all my Aurora settings and data and starting fresh. (But before doing so, I backed up all my bookmarks by exporting to an html file and my add-on settings via Firefox Sync.
After that, I installed and started with a clean slate version of regular Firefox, and proceeded to then reinstall my various add-ons and import my saved bookmarks from the html file. As soon as I re-installed Xmarks and re-logged into my Xmarks account, the automatic syncing process went fine and no more error messages or failures.
I had been using Aurora for months prior with Xmarks and never had any syncing problem until the first week of April. And at that point, the syncing function broke on both my laptop and desktop, which were both running the daily updated versions of Aurora. So I'm believing that something was changed in Aurora that caused this problem.

Single firefox profile across all users and profiles on networks

I'm in the process of setting up Firefox as the standard browser for an entire building, and part of this is ensuring that everyone's firefox profiles are saved to personal network drives as opposed to the local machines. I can use the profile manager to do this on a user-to-user basis, but what if I want all the users of any machine to use the same firefox profile that points to a specific network drive? (This will ensure users always have their browser settings and such regardless of where they access them, allow us to switch machines out without losing anyone's browser settings, etc. The contents of this drive are specific to the user account, but always have the same path.)
As far as I can tell, profiles created in the profile manager are specific to each (domain) user, which would mean an awful lot of manual profile creation. Is there some way to ensure Firefox always uses a specific Firefox profile or path? Is there some way to have firefox check which profiles exist (in a .bat file, for example), so I can create the proper one if needed? Can I use a command line to set which profile to use by default, or can that only be done from the profile manager GUI?
Finally, and this one may warrant a separate query, but I've found that when using profiles that point to a network drive, trying to open firefox on multiple computers will fail (another instance of firefox is open, close it or restart). Can I tell Firefox to force the old instance closed, or will I have to firefox.exe -no-remote -p "differentProfile" every time?
We're on Windows 7, by the way, for references' sake.

We just deploy images, so everyone should have firefox already, but we're pretty good about keeping all data on mapped network drives instead of letting windows save things locally, so I'm trying to find the best way to integrate Firefox in that system as well.
Every user has a network domain account, which can be accessed from anywhere in the building. While mostly people use their own computers, due to the nature of the place, that is often not the case, and several people will need to sign on to the same machine on a given day.
If there are command-line ways of checking for firefox profiles, I can have them run in our logon script to ensure everyone always has access to their personal profiles, but I'm not sure the best way to go about that, yet. I suppose that's the main part of my second question--what is the cleanest way to check for and create/map/assign firefox profiles automatically?

How can I copy selected bookmarks to a second FireFox profile

I have two FireFox profiles with different bookmarks. What I want to do specifically is to copy, or preferably sync, the Multimedia bookmark folders for both profiles. Can this be done, and if so how?
Thanx,

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015870 /questions/1015870]''
I'm trying to organize my different Firefox profiles like into profiles such as, Jeep Stuff, Shopping, things to build, computers, ect. So how can I move a bookmark folder to an other Firefox profile bookmark bar. Or how can I move all my bookmarks into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

Using firefox on a computer with both winXP and Ubuntu, having the Firefox profile-map in a separate partition, I would like not to have to delete the "parent lock" each time I want to use Firefox.

I have Firefox in the Windowspartition of my computer and in the Linuxpartition of my computer, I have a third partition where I store my personal data, such as my Firefox-profile-map and my download-map.
If I don't manually delete "Parent Lock" Firefox won't start saying that there is already a session open.
It would be better not to have this parentlock-system.

It would be better to use two separate profiles for each Operating System and sync the data between the two as there may be other problems as well with the caches that current Firefox versions use and other files that store OS dependent file paths.

I backed up a firefox profile and then deleted all data. I need to restore this profile to my new install after phone restore. How can I do this please?

Long story short - had to reformat my laptop and lost all my bookmarks and preferences. Could not get Sync to restore from the phone's bookmarks. Backed up phone's firefox profile (Android ICS) to an external SD card. Formatted both phone and computer. New CLEAN firefox install on phone but I havent figured out how to restore the profile backup from external SD back to the phone's Firefox before moving to Sync with desktop. Feeling very dumb and hoping for some help....thanks!

Thanks for responding but the link seems to be relevant to Windows. Is there a similar method for Android phones?

Get your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible after install. Profile.ini isnt installed at all. Forums no help.

I have installed the latest version of Firefox on my windows XP Pro 32 bit box 3 times and uninstalled 3 times to fix the message that the Profile is missing and your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I am admin on the box and I can install the download and remove it all day long but I can't get the profile.ini to be created. I've looked at all the forums and they don't address the missing profile at all or that it never gets created. I really need this to work as IE won't work for me.

''standun wrote:''
If there was anyway to import the profile.ini I would.
You could manually create the folders and the ''profiles.ini'' file, but without solving the underlying problem, you're likely just run into some other issue instead. If you insist on going about it this way, this is what you'd do:
 1. Click the '''Start''' button on the taskbar and choose '''Run'''.
 2. In the box that opens, type ''%AppData%'' and press Enter.
 3. In the folder that opens, create a new folder called ''Mozilla''
 4. Open the Mozilla folder and inside it create a new folder called ''Firefox''
 5. Start Notepad, paste the following as its contents, then save the file as ''%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini''
<pre><nowiki>[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2dzy4k7u.default
Default=1</nowiki></pre>
6. Inside the Firefox folder, create a new folder called ''Profiles''
 7. Inside the Profiles folder, create a new folder called ''2dzy4k7u.default''
 
When launching Firefox, it will then attempt to populate the blank profile folder with data files (bookmarks, history, cookies, and so on). If you still have the permissions issue, I expect it will fail to do so.

FF16 always fails to sync, it always shows "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this."

I'm having this problem since few releases ago, whenever I start FF, it always fails to sync, showing this line on the bottom "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this action". First thought that the prob was incorrect credentials, but I can freely log-in https://account.services.mozilla.com I tried unlinking and linking my device again, it still happens.
I waited thinking that they'll fix this, from a release to another, today updated to the last version and it still happened.

Awaiting reply,
Thanks.

I am having this problem with FF 19.0.2 on Win 7 Pro. The sequence of events is:
1. Start Firefox. Get the error bar about incorrect account name or password EVERY time. I close the bar. If I wait a while and then ask FF to try again the error bar reappears.
2. Click on preferences from the bar, and get a dialog "Your password was rejected by the server, please update your password." I click "update" and then am prompted for the master password for the security device. I enter that and am presented with an "update password" dialog.
3. Enter my old password and click "update password." Receive error message "Password incorrect, please try again." I click update again and get the message "Your password has been changed."
4. However now Sync no longer seems to be set up. I go through the setup ritual again, and find I am back where I started.
I have cleared cookies, tried everything in safe mode, and unlinked and relinked the computer. I have verified I have the right password entered at [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ https://account.services.mozilla.com/] None of this helped. The problem is still there, even in safe mode.

Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.
