Firefox sync doesn't appear in options at all

Hi, I clicked on 'Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data' option in 'manage account > sync reset'. and canceled the process before it end. but everything has already deleted.
So I went to 'Sync' tab in the options but I found it like this http://i.imgur.com/cCtCO.png
I deleted Firefox using Revo Uninstaller to completely delete it, And reinstalled it but nothing change the sync tab wont appear normally! I even go back to a restore point but it's the same!!
Note: When I click on 'Firefox > set up sync..." and choose 'I have an account' it appears like this http://i.imgur.com/IVpI9.png
What that's mean? I want to sync THIS computer not another one!
Any idea how to bring the sync back? thank you :)

Did you try the default theme?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear. What do I do?

So, I bought the iPod shuffle and when I plug it into my mac, the option of syncing doesn't appear. What do I do?

Does the Shuffle appear ini Tunes at all? If not try using a different USB port and double checking to make sure the other end of the syncing cable is firmly seated in the Shuffle.

Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on OS X 10.5).

For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.2 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox Sync Doesn't Sync Addons

I have sync setup on my computer with everything checked. Then i paired my laptop to my main computer with sync. but now whenever i sync my computers it doesn't update my laptops addons and then uninstall addons on my main computer.
any ideas?

Did you enable the Add-on sync on all devices? Add-on Sync is disabled by default so if you haven't then you'll need to enable it on each device.
''Firefox > Options > In the Sync My section, check the box next to add-ons on each of your computers

I want to sync mail on a few computers but Firefox sync does not appear in the tools menu. Do I need to download and install syncing tool? Thanx

Also, bear in mind, please that at home I use Mac and in the office Win 7. I'd like to be able to sync my emails on both computers and my netbook which I use when travelling.
Thanx
Dean

Firefox doesn't do email, thus Firefox Sync has no features for email.
If you are accessing your email thru Firefox, you are using web mail. By default most email portals keep your email until you delete it. You should be able to access your email from anywhere - not device dependent.

Firefox sync doesn't sync across computers

I have set up firefox sync across home and work computers, but the info is not synching.. passwords, bookmars, history.. nothing. In the options->synch tab everything is ok.. green tickmarks in front of everything, yet it is not synching..
Any ideas?
Also.. is there any way to manually force the data to sync? Like in xmarks?

When you create a new Profile you need to '''Set Up Sync''' in that new Profile.

Sync does not appear in options window

downloaded Firefoxsetup.3.6.10 from Mozilla Firefox Sync webpage. Twice Installed > restart Firefox > opens as normal NO other message. Sync is NOT in "options" window. Windows XP SP3 up to date. Was 3.6.10 before instal. How do I instal Sync?

Sync isn't built in to Firefox 3.6 versions, but it will be part of Firefox 4.
Install the Firefox Sync extension in Firefox 3.6:

Firefox Sync doesn't work for me.

<pre>Locking duplicate thread.

It says, "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action".
Is there a way for me to find anymore details about this error so i can post it here? Everytime i try to sync, it asks me to setup and account or use existing account. So i always use the existing account and i have to input my username, password, and recovery key every time. How can i make Firefox sync remember my information for my profile?

Try to delete the current sync account and set up a new account in case something is wrong with the account you currently use.

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 cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Firefox sync doesn't work third day on none of my computers

Of course - no synchronising happens.
I use Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 (updated on Monday from 7.0.0).

There have been problems reported with Sync.

Firefox Sync doesn't recognize my version of Firefox, won't install

Whenever I try to install Firefox Sync, it tells me "You are currently using Firefox 3.0.13," won't install, and suggests that I upgrade. However, I'm using Firefox 3.6.10, so I don't know how to resolve this. (Yes I tried downloading and installing the upgrade... this is still the result.) Any ideas?

Awesome suggestiont. Your solution worked perfectly and it was a breeze. Thanks!!

Firefox Sync multiplied my bookmarks and I have all the bokkmarks several times

Hello,
After setting up bookmark Sync all bookmarks became multiplied several times , so I have on the bookmark toolbar every bookmark hundred times and I am not able to delete them.

This might be due to using multiple sync services on your profile (Icloud and Firefox Sync) Please disable one of them for this not to happen again.
And in order to repair the damage if you do not have a back up from before this happened:

Firefox Sync doesn't sync bookmarks between smartphone and tablet.Works fine between desktop and mobiles.

I have a desktop,smartphone and tablet.They all have the latest FX35.They are all signed in and connected to Sync.Sync is the latest version and it works with email and password, instead of pins.On all devices, Sync is configured to sync all items(bookmarks,tabs etc).
When I enabled Sync on smartphone and tablet, they got my desktop's bookmarks without a problem.They appear in a folder named desktop bookmarks.All the changes reflect properly between smartphone-desktop and tablet-desktop, but, the bookmarks do not sync between smartphone-tablet.
When I open a tab on the smartphone, after a while it appear on tablet's Synced Tabs page.Vice verse is true also.So at least some syncing exists between smartphone-tablet.
Is it possible to create a bookmark on smartphone and have it appear on the tablet and vice verse,just like the synced tabs work ? I tried deleting the sync account and creating a new one, but I still don't see my smartphone's bookmarks on the tablet.
It would be even better if there was an option to choose which device can override another device's bookmarks.I don't really need desktop bookmarks on smartphone, but I'm too scared to delete them.I'm afraid it will also delete them from desktop... ?
Thanks.

HI GeorgePeterson:
So "new" aka "Firefox Accounts based sync" syncs desktop<->tablet and desktop<->phone but not phone<->tablet. Hmmm I actually have tested this S5<->Nexus 5<->desktop (Mac) and it worked.
soooo the big question :-)
# What desktop OS version (e.g. Mac OS X 10.10, 10.8, Windows (Windows 7, 8), Ubutuntu crafty codger ), what tablet and OS version(e.g. Nexus 7 2013, Android 5 Lollipop), what phone (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.2)
I will re-test too!
Cheers!

Firefox sync doesn't automatically sync on exit.

This was a great feature of xmarks, and while I understand the two are not the same, it would be excellent if it could be set to sync automatically on exit if that's what I want.

Yes! Make an option to sync on exit. It's frustrating not to see a page you've just bookmarked before exiting Firefox on another computer.

Firefox Sync doesn't save all my browser history it only seems to save a few entrieswhen I sync to a new profile

I don't know if only saves after a certain amount of time if does is there a work around to this.

The history can be quite large, normally around 100,000 pages as you can see in the places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages pref on the about:config page.
It would take quite some time and a lot of storage space on the Sync server and it would affect Firefox's performance to sync that much data.
That is why the amount of history that is shared is limited.
You could copy the places.sqlite file to other devices to have all the history and if necessary restore the bookmarks from compressed .jsonlz4 backup.
