  • Sync did not work on new computer and original computer is broken.

    I always synced Firefox on my original computer, clicking it once a day on the little menu on the top right, on the sync buttton with my e-mail beside it. I had all options checked (passwords, history, bookmarks, etc). Then, my computer broke, and it is a hard drive problem so it will come back completely erased.
    Now, I accessed another computer on Firefox and Sync did not work at all. None of my information was saved, even when I click on Sync.
    Both computers are Macs, one running on 10.6.8 and the other (broken) ran on Yosemite. Both had Firefox on the New Sync.
    Please and thanks.

    This game was designed for Windows 95. Many older games wont run under the NT kernel (under XP and Vista) unless you use emulation such as DOSBox.
    You could try setting the game to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode (Right click the games EXE file, choose Properties -> Compatibility Tab).
    Otherwise you may need to install Win95/98, and possibly use an older Video Card since the display drivers change so rapidly and drop legacy features not used anymore.

  • Firefox Sync is not working properly on MacBookPro (intel) OS X.6.7

    On the help screen for my question, first of all - and this is in the MAC OS section! - there are photos of the Windows screens for setup of Firefox sync. This bothers me more than just on an aesthetic level, but how on earth is that supposed to help me fill out MY preferences on a MAC?!?! There is a question asked, "Show me how, I have lost my other device" with a link that brings you to an article entitled "Where can I find my Firefox sync key? | How to | Firefox Help" which is where I see Windows screens which are completely different from the ones I see under Mac OS Firefox 4. With different options, layout, etc. So of course this is of absolutely no help to me whatsoever! Come on guys, when I'm in the Mac OS Section I EXPECT to find windows which not only LOOK the same as the ones I see on my computer, but which have at least the same OPTIONS available to me so I can understand WTF you're talking about!! I still cannot find out what to do when I don't have access to the original device I set up the Firefox Sync with. Can you figure out how to help me?

    I have the same problem, fixed it by disabling hardware acceleration in options - advanced - general.
    Still having other issues with things not working and displaying correctly though.

  • On two computers with ubuntu 12.04 & firefox 15, firefox sync does not work

    I have three computers that all use ubuntu 12.05 and firefox 15.0
    I cant nake firefox sync work, although in eralier days it was flawless. I cant figure out whether the syncing up or syncing down is the problem. Is there any way of knowing what is in the contents of the sync cloud?
    I have tried all the remedies posted on the firefox sync site

    It is NOT officially recommended to use outdated versions of Firefox, as they will be insecure. (Obviously many users will be able to make their own decisions on the risks and consequences, but others looking for quick fixes may read this thread later)
    * [[Install an older version of Firefox]] Note that includes links to the ftp downloads of Mozilla builds of previous versions of Firefox.
    On Windows : - Just google it :P
    * [[Install Firefox on Windows]]
    * also on Windows as an additional version some may consider Firerfox Portable, as an easy install http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable (No need to manually set up multiple profiles)
    Also note there is the option of using Mozilla builds on Linux
    * [[Install Firefox on Linux]] (IIRC last time I tried it on 64 bit Linux Mozilla tried to install 32bit Firefox so I used a ftp download)
    I do not have multiple machines available to test sync, but I would have expected to see reports if Firefox 15 was failing on all Linux installs. Are posts appearing on forums for particular Disto's

  • Instructions in "Firefox Sync is not working" don't show me "update"

    I am getting sync errors when I open Firefox on my Mac OS 10.5.8.
    The article, "Firefox Sync not working," gives instructions saying to open preferences; go to "sync" and click "update." Update doesn't show up as an option.
    I am not sure if there are other problems involving sync.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Firefox Sync would have to be the '''most user unfriendly service '''I have ever had the misfortune to use.
    You go round and round in circles from one device to another. Finally you have no idea what is going on and simply give up.
    You guys should take a look at Lastpass. To get my information from one computer to another takes about 1minute tops.
    I'm over Firefox and thinking seriously about going completely over to Chrome.

  • Firefox sync is not working on solaris

    I am running a current, internal build of OpenSolaris and firefox for
    Solaris version 3.6.10. I created a new profile that only has the Sync
    add-on installed and started firefox with that profile. Here's what I
    did:
    1. Earlier I had uploaded a bunch of bookmarks using Sync on my MacBook Pro.
    2. On Solaris I access the Sync prefs and click on Reset Sync.
    3. I choose replace all local data with my remote Sync account data.
    4. I see a "Error While Syncing" message in the lower status bar. When I click on it it states it is an unknown error.
    Note that I am using Sync version 1.5.

  • I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

    I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

    Hi Melfour-
    Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:

    Hope that helps.

  • Firefox wont load pages, other browsers do, firefox solutions did not work?

    Hello!
    I have Windows 7, and run Firefox Beta 36.0. I have it set to update automatically, and it seems there was an update yesterday, and now Firefox will not load any pages.
    I have tried changing the proxy settings, configuring the firewall, and restarting my computer; none of them worked. :(
    After configuring the firewall, there are now two Mozilla Firefox programs shown (in the allowed programs and features list)? I had made sure to delete, then re-add them, but it made two Mozilla Firefoxes in the list appear. Not sure if this effects anything though.

    Ah, I figured it out by changing the firewall settings on Norton to allow for firefox and the firefox add-on, instead of auto. Hopefully putting the setting on allow instead of auto wont make me vulnerable to security threats!
    I was about to cry haha, Chrome wouldn't download as I wanted to use it until I could find a solution, and I though I would be stuck with IE for forever. xD
    Thanks, hopefully this will help others!

  • Firefox Sync Bookmarks not working!

    On one of my computers, I cannot sync the bookmark data on firefox (4b10), it works fine with bookmarks unchecked and everything works on another computer with 4b10, but it only gets an Unknown Error on the first computer.

    Hi Hiro!
    Have you tried to go through the process in [[Safe Mode]]? It's possible that one of your add-ons is interfering in how the buttons are working.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • I have downloaded podcasts to my mac laptop but want them on the iphone 4. How do I do this? Syncing did not work

  • Firefox 5.0.1 Sync is not working even after info replaced and device added again.

    No errors were displayed so I followed guidance in articles "Firefox Sync is not working" (Uninstalled Sync add-on, updated Firefox on all devices, and Replaced Sync data) and "Replace your Sync information" which worked to get identical bookmarks on desktop and laptop. I used the desktop data as the sync data and added the laptop as a device. But when I change bookmarks on the laptop the changes do not sync with the desktop. I don't know what else to do.

    Thanks for the suggestion Ibai, but I'm pretty sure I did that and it still didn't work. In my frustration I decided to try XMarks, which is accomplishing my needs, but I'm concerned with this as a long-term solution because it was recently purchased by the "Last Pass" company, which disabled password sync. This is not a huge deal for me because I use 1Password, but I'm worried about XMarks somehow becoming incompatible with 1Password as the Last Pass company moves forward with encouraging people to use their password software instead. Since it is working now I'm hesitant to mess with it anymore. Does that sound reasonable or should I trash the XMarks add-on and reconfigure Firefox sync and make sure I click the Tools->Sync Now drop down to give Firefox sync another try? Pros/Cons?

  • At the very foot of the window - showing firefox website - there has been "firefox synch is not working - cannot find - (something like that what's to do

    This has been so - since my Fox Tabs and top sites went missing and the operation of firefox - tabs and ALL was subjected to an invasion my search/conduit - I need my Techie friend - he recommended firefox - but after search /conduit barged in every thing was quite spoiled - My Techie buddy called them Spy-Wares - I have malware bytes and that clears most of it - but I do not find it easy to get the tabs back

    Hi Patricia,
    A notification that Firefox sync is not working can be compared to the official timestamp of the last Firefox sync in the about:config page. search for "lastsync" and that will have a value of when it last synced.
    I am happy to hear that the virus scan cleared most of the issues. In order to get the tabs back from the last session you can click sessionrestore on the home page. [[How do I restore my tabs from last time?]] may be helpful, however if you have restarted Firefox since the tabs may no longer be there.
    This add on allows session restore called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager]

  • TS1702 An app has disappeared from my ipad, how do I get it back on when syncing did not do it?

    I downloaded the cooking light app but it has disappeared from my ipad, how do I get back?  I have already tried syncing did not work.

    Use your iPad's Search screen to locate it. If it's truly no longer present, then just download it from the App Store again.

  • I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

    I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

    I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

    Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation.

  • My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.
