Firefox Sync recovery key is lost. No solution on the net works. Help

I have a FF sync account. I purchased a tablet. I want to sync the tablet. During the process I am asked to provide a recovery key which I do not have.
Every solution I find on the Internet is either two years old or the steps (Tools/Options/Synch/Manage Account) are no longer valid as Manage Account is not under Sync any longer.
I either need to find my recovery key, delete the account so I can get a new key, or stop wasting my time and take this process to a different browser.
Can anyone help without pointing to the same web pages I've been to countless times?

Forget it. I created a new account. Let my old junk clog up the system.

Where can I enter my Firefox sync recovery key?

Where can I enter my Firefox sync recovery key?

hello, you could try this "hack" to get a new firefox version to connect to an old sync account:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere in that page & create a new string preference named '''services.sync.username'''with a value like '''fake'''.
afterwards you should be able to connect to the old account through the firefox options > sync panel. if this worked and you could import your data successfully, please migrate to the new sync afterwards: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

How to obtain Sync Recovery Key from Android Firefox?

Desktop sync is broken and instructs to obtain "Your Recovery Key" from a working device. Only working device is Android Firefox. What is the magic incantation to get Firefox (v21 beta) on Android to reveal the needed sync Recovery Key?

You can use:
*Android OS > Settings > Accounts > Firefox Sync > Pair a new Device
This will give you a 12-character pairing key the you can enter in the desktop computer.
You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

SCCM 2012 Recover "User State Recovery Key" after Deletion Policy has removed the key

I have a computer that was upgraded from Windows XP to 7 using SCCM 2012. The user's info was captured and restored, but found out a month later that some Outlook Archives are corrupt.
I had this happen before on a different user, but found out right away and was able to recover the User State Recovery Key and restore the files.
I have looked under Assets and Compliance, User State Migration, but the computer is not listed anymore.
I have done a file restore of the USMT.MIG file from three weeks ago, but can not extract the users files without the User State Recovery Key.
I have looked through the SQL tables and have only found the StateEncryptDecryptKey in the StateMigration table which will not work.
Environment:
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 SCCM 2012 Server
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 SQL 2012 Server
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wendell

It worked! Thank you Jason!
I restored the server's Storage Folder from "State Migration Point" (USMT Folder) from the same date as the SQL database was restored from. Shut the SCCM server down while doing the SQL restore. Turned on the Server and was able
to pull out the User State Recovery Key.
Then reverted back by shutting down the SCCM server and restoring SQL database back to previous backup taken before starting.
Only issue I'm getting now is that SMS_EN_ADSERVICE_MONITOR has a warning
8400 Enrollment Point AD Service Control failed to read and configure the registry keys necessary for this component.
With checking everything out to make sure no issues have arised. I looked through the log adctrl.log and found some more errors about Failed to create instance of ADService Managed Component. error = -2147024809
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wendell

Forgot recovery key and lost device

I no longer use any Apple products but still want to go on my Apple ID account to change some settings.
Unfortunately for me I have lost the SIM card that had the number linked to my account and I have also misplaced my recovery keys so I literally cannot access my account.
Can anybody please help me?!

You need your Apple ID and password to login to make changes. if you forgot those go here: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid

Why must I repeatedly enter my master password after installing Firefox Sync and is there a setting to eliminate the need to do this?

Ever since I installed Firefox Sync I am repeatedly required by a pop-up box to enter my master password in whichever of my PCs I am using at the time. That is very annoying and I don't understand why the password is required after initial setup since the Firefox Sync Key is supposed to be unique.

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:

Synced iphone with my macbook pro, can find the voice memos, help!!

i synced my iphone with my macbook pro, checked the voice memos option and after syncing was complete (it backed up iphone in the process), i didn't see any new playlist called voice memos on my itunes!! did i lose my voice memos? where did they go? i didn't delete anything from either the phone or the computer.TIA!! on the phone, i don't see the memos too!! anyone has any idea?

iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
To Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3. Select the Music tab.
4. Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

Since updating to firefox 9 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work - help, please and thank you!

since updating to firefox 09 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work. How do I fix this, please? I have a Gateway laptop. This has never happened before with other updates.
Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for your link - unfortunately it is totally beyond my skills to understand or correct the bug as posted. I can find the touchpad icon and right click to open the options and that's about my speed. If this is a bug should I uninstall Firefox 9? Thanks so much...

When I designate Firefox as my default browser, my desktop links to the net won't open. However, if I subsequently designate Internet Exp as default browser, everything works again. What can I do to keep Firefox as my default browser?

This is all I know.

Sometimes Windows gives you weird error messages when you click a link in another program or double-click a desktop shortcut. These messages usually occur only when Firefox was closed and has to be launched before the link can be loaded. Is that what you're getting? This occurs when Firefox's registry settings get crossed up, as described in this article: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].
If that isn't it, what happens exactly?

Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
why didn't you reply?
