Firefox Sync not working again!

Hello.
At a time when the sharing or sync'ing of information is so important, the current Firefox sync service is a disgraceful shambles. What makes this even worse, is your continuing refusal to get it properly sorted.
As appears obvious from your Twitter feed, this has been going on since April 2013.
Yet you expect mobile devices to adopt Firefox OS. Yet you can't even manage your current sync structure reliably.
Chrome's sync'ing works easily and fine between my laptop and Android devices. It is also much simpler to set up.
I find it hard to believe that you fail to prevent Firefox's slide. Enough daydreaming about new solutions, until you sort out the current mess called Sync.

I have the same problem! For a long time Firefox is not synchronized at all! Please amend your this problem without this feature in Firefox Mobile for me is useless.

  • Firefox sync not working on fresh Ubuntu install

    Fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit with a fresh install of Firefox 25. Firefox Sync setup worked flawlessly, except for the fact that it isn't working. I'm not encountering any errors, and when I tell it to sync the process appears to complete fine. However I never get my sync'ed data. Sync has been working flawlessly on my two other Windows boxes and my three Android devices and they seem to test fine. Oddly enough (and I'm not looking for support on it here, just mentioning) I'm having the same issue with a fresh install of Chrome as well. Any suggestions?

    Please disregard. Got it working. No idea how.

  • Firefox sync not working with android 4.0 (ice cream sandwich)

    Okay i'll try to explain this as best as i can. Over the weekend i installed the new android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich...before hand firefox sync (from my desktop to my cell phone) was working fine. I could see all of my bookmarks and all of my history. However, once i installed the new OS i was unable to see any of my information! When i go into the sync and accounts page on my android i see my FF sync account and i have told it to sync a number of times...but it still doesn't work! Also, on the main page of the FF app on my android there is no account information at the bottom on the page like there was pre 4.0 install. Is there anything i can do to fix the problem? Or will i have to re-add the account when I get back home from being out of town?

    Hard to say. Most of my experience has been with the Thunderbolt and I don't know anything about the Stratosphere. Part of it will probably depend on the manufacturer, Verizon and what phone you have. Some manufacturers get updates out faster than others. Then Verizon may hold on to it until they test it, which may not matter much judging by the Thunderbolt releases. And also, some phones will get it before others. Which phones come before others may not make sense to anyone except the manufacturer and Verizon and maybe not them. Sometimes it seems more like a lottery. I'm only guessing that the newer, dual core phones will probably get it first since I think ICS is suppose to run better on them. I could be wrong, and often am, but I'm not expecting the Bolt to get it, but I've retired mine anyway.
    Verizon will usually put out a notice when it's planning on releasing an upgrade for your phone and if you follow any Android forums, most of them will post it also, so it's not usually a secret. . The last updates the Bolt got were pushed to us if we didn't download it first. The only way not to get it seemed to be if you happened to be watching when it started so you could stop it, but since you have to sleep sometime, eventually you'd get it whether you wanted it or not. Not sure if that will be the case with ICS though.
    They might surprise us and get it out this month, or as AZSALUKI said, 2-3 months. You can hope for sooner, but expecting later will decrease your stress levels.

  • Firefox sync not working correctly

    I set up sync and used my favorite gmail address (sun-).
    It seems I should have used the gmail address I set up my google/gmail account with ( allu-)
    Now it seems I have sync on my computer, and my tablet, but I'm not sure. I know this sounds weird, but when I have sync set up on my computer, and I go to pair a device (my tablet) I have sync numbers in both my computer, and my tablet, and I am unable to erase the 3 boxes to add in numbers to either device.
    I still would like to add my android phone, but I would like to fix this problem.
    I guess what I would like to do is delete/uninstall my 'sync' account so I can start new with my google/gmail account (allu-).
    I thought i did this, but the same thing came up, numbers in both sync set up pages on my computer, and tablet.
    So maybe I have this entirely wrong, and I need to look at it from another perspective, but whatever reason, it is becoming frustrating because I need this, want this, and can't make it happen. So I would like, no need some help with this, so I can coordinate all my devices with Firefox.
    I am thinking this is possible with what I read, but like I said I am definitely missing something, or I have made some mistake, that can't be fixed, because that is what I seem to have done. HELP

    That seemed to work. I have not tried to sync my other devices yet, but I am hopeful.
    It almost looks like you are saying the Aurora version 28 is a version to switch to, when it is released.
    Will I be notified by Mozzila when this comes out?
    I know I might be taking advantage of you with these questions, but it is hard to find good answers without spending lots of time searching here, there and everywhere, so to speak.
    So one more question, how come my password saving has stopped. It worked in the past but as of late, it sporadically asked me if I want to say updated passwords, and then it doesn't. I have a few sites, that use to have there passwords saved, and now I get nothing, very frustrating.
    So is there anything I can do to get my passwords back.
    I have switched from Ice Dragon when that didn't do well with passwords, then tried Chrome, I liked that as well, but then I realized that wasn't doing as good as Firefox did for me, so now I am back to Firefox, and that is not working very well either
    Thank you for what you do.................................

    Are you using the first method? Where the Firefox server is the authenticating server and the hosted server is your own?

  • Firefox Sync not working with weave server behind password protected proxy

    Since the sync is moved from firefox to Android, I'm completely unable to sync my bookmarks with my personal weave server. The server is internal, but accessible via a proxy with a username/password for all internal sites. Last working version was 10.0.5, all newer versions have this problem. I've just reinstalled the ancient version, as I now need the bookmarks. First syncing in 10.0.5 and then upgrading to anything newer makes all previous synced data unavailable. BTW the newef versions will let you add other devices to the same sync account (on the internal server), but it just complete refuses to collect any data at all from the server. (I don't even see any attempts in the logging of the proxy server)
    I'm unable to get debug info, as I don't have a google account (don't trust them) and can't run SDK or other non-standard tools on my company phone.
    The phone in question is a Samsung Galaxy S2, latest software version (Android 4.04) Is there a way to get firefox doing the sync? (As Android just can't handle this)

  • Firefox sync not working

    It did work but doesn't now...what is the deal? Using Firefox 4.01 and it is frustrating since I use three different computers and it is very important to keep them in sync...

    Hey there,
    Apologies for this issue, sounds very irritating :/ As the vast majority of us are volunteers, including me, we don't have any access whatsoever to the servers for security reasons. Therefore, I've flagged this up for a member of Mozilla staff or someone who can help you better to follow it up - they should get back to you on this thread soon.
    Sorry for the inconvenience!

    I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    When iam using jdownloader for dowload, the firefox did not work at any page, as like`` there in no internet conexion?``

    you need to check whether '''jdownloader''' is compatible with the Firefox version you are using.
    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extension section -> check the Status of '''jdownloader''' extension -> if '''an update''' is available for this add-on then install the update -> Restart Firefox and check again check the compatibility -> if it is '''GREYED with Exclamation mark''' then it is incompatible with Firefox
    Try using this extension to force compatibility.

  • Firefox history not working after restoring profile from backup

    Hi,
    My Firefox profile was inadvertently deleted when I uninstalled Waterfox. I had a backup of all profile data from the day before, and restored that. Am running Windows 7, so restored Users > Username > AppData > Local > Mozilla and Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Mozilla.
    Since the restore, Firefox history no longer works - all past history is gone, and worse, no history of new browsing is created. Cookies and saved passwords were restored and are working correctly.
    Any idea on how I can get Firefox history to work again?
    Thanks!

    Sounds that the copy of places.sqlite that you restored is corrupted.

    I had already re booted, but I rebooted again, the phone, router, comp (iMac)
    I changed the name of my phone, I had a lot of hope riding on that idea, it sounded good, but (sigh) no go!

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    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 files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
