Firefox Sync Account Deleted and unable to create new

My Firefox sync was working fine, until my Firefox for Android, started acting up, and I had to reinstall it. When I tried to set up sync again, it asked for a recovery key, which I didn't have (I know, I'm sorry). Getting the data is not a big deal for me, as my desktop Firefox is still alive and well, so this is where I didn my big mistake. I deleted my sync account. Now I am unable to create a new sync account using that email address, as Sync says, Account already in use. I have deleted it and confirmed in the web portal where it says username/email was not recognised. Please help. I need to set this up. I am reluctant to use a different email account, as all my details are tied in with this one, and I have been using this forever.
Firefox Version: 17
Firefox for Android Version: I don't know, but the latest one, as of 28/11

That's the problem. I have deleted the account and hence am not able to access it anymore. I tried resetting and it says account does not exist. But when I try to create a new sync account it says account already exists. All I want is to be able to create a new sync account using the same email

    Adil,
    There could be many reason like IIS issue, Space issue, Permission issue, SQL issue which is not possible us to guess rather
    you need to jump in the SharePoint log(Program Files\Common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS) and find out the specific error log its throwing after which trouble shoot can be start.

  • How do I get my old sync account bookmarks and bars into my new sync account ?

    I had a sync account on firefox (with bookmarks, modules and bars) last version.

    How do I get back my favourites in this new account ?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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 :

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • I had a HD crash and rebuilt system. Trying to setup sync and keep getting wrong key on verify even though it is the one I have always used. I have an account but cannot verify or create new one. Why does this have to be so damn difficult?

    Had a main system drive go out. Replaced and reloaded and now trying to get firefox sync to work and when I put in login info and my key it says wrong key but I do not have any other key and have used this key for years.
    Can someone help me fix this without having to recreate a whole new account?

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • 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.

    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.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

    After reinstalling firefox I can no longer use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account, with the same e-mail as my old account.
    After some research I was able to find this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ in which I can login with my old account.
    My problem now is that I want to retrieve the information that I had in my old sync and I can't find any way to do it.
    Also, because I was experiencing severe performance problems using firefox, I deleted some folders in my machine related to Firefox (after uninstalling) including what seemed to be the profile location for firefox.
    What is really important for me is: How do I retrieve my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?
    Thanks,
    V

    hello, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.
    in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox 28 version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account (with username, password & recovery key) and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

  • 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.
