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.

Do you have specific problems with Flash that you needed to visit the Adobe help pages?
Make sure that you allow the plugin-container.exe process in the firewall.

I get error message when trying to use Firefox Sync after upgrate to 5.0. The message reads: "Sync encounted an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" I am using Windows 7.0 on a stationary computer.

Simply: Firefox Sync doesn't work after upgrade to 5.0.

You can have a try, unmark the Tabs in Sync of Preferences.

Firefox Sync doesn't work for me.

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":

*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.

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.

Firefox Sync not syncing automatically

I recently set up Sync, but it does not appear to be syncing automatically. If I click the Sync button, it does indeed sync correctly, but nothing will sync unless I manually click the button. Shouldn't it be syncing automatically?

My sync will sync every 10 minutes or so if there is a network connection (this will vary from the amount being synced and how many devices there are).
However for mobile devices, Auto-Sync needs to be turned on for Firefox sync to sync automatically.

Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

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

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

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

I have synchronised bookmarks with Firefox Sync on three computers. Since saturday I get on all of them such message : Sync encountered an arror while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.
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.

Why doesn't Firefox Sync work in my home network, but at work?

Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but e.g. if I'm at my office.
The internet connection at my home is fine, I can surf the web with that very Firefox on both IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. is also working. Logging in to accounts.firefox.com also works, as does connecting Firefox to the Sync account. Only the process of syncing itself fails. On my desktop computer at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that sync runs on that server, so apparently the network path between my computer and that server is free.
Upon investigation with Wireshark, I see the successful TLS handshake, then some packets from the client that are not answered and after some time the server closes the connection (Encrypted Alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between client and server. I attach a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between server and client (The image upload here didn't work so I put it on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).
To exclude a possible misconfiguration or bad add-on, I created a clean new Firefox profile and connected it to my Firefox account, but this shows exactly the same problems.
Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone does sync in my home network.
Below, I will link two log files, one successful sync (office network) and one failed sync (home network):
Sync @ office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

Any chance you are on a DS-Lite network at home? If so, what's your ISP? The home network symptoms look a little like https://bugzil.la/1118958

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.

Lubuntu 13.10: Firefox Sync - Account set up doesn't do anything

Hello,
I've tried to set up a Firefox Sync Account, however, after filling in the formula and clicking on the Button to Finish the process the only thing it does is closing itself (the Browser itself stays open).
Any tips are appreciated.
Kind regards,
Morvarid

I've deactivated my add-ons and now it seems to work :)

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.
