Firefox v33.1 Android: sync login fails

I installed the latest version of Firefox, v33.1 on my Nexus 7 (2nd Gen, 2013) running Android 4.4.4. I tried to set up Firefox sync. I have sync successfully established on my desktop & notebook. When I try to login to Sync on the Nexus 7 I get a message: Invalid email or password.
I tried several solutions:
First I reset my Firefox sync password on my desktop successfully. Then I changed the Firefox sync password on my notebook successfully. But the Nexus 7 Firefox sync login attempt still fails with the same message.
Then I uninstalled Firefox from the Nexus, rebooted, reinstalled Firefox, sync login still fails.
Any ideas?
thanks, sbi108

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I believe I am using the new servers. I updated when the new servers were introduced.
My login was created using my desktop Firefox browser and managed from the browser and does not require a key of any sort. I just use my email address as the account name and my password to setup sync on my laptop.
How do I confirm that I am using the new Sync servers?
thanks, sbi108

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Sync always fails on Aurora on Android, but set up works fine

I have had Aurora on my desktop for a long time, with Sync set up and working.
I recently got a new phone and decided to install Firefox for Android. I first installed Firefox Beta, but then decided to switch to Aurora (to match my desktop), after removing the beta and restarting the phone.
I am able to set up Sync successfully, but it never manages to actually perform an actual sync operation. It ''always'' says 'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly'. My desktop Aurora is unaffected.
Additionally, when I check my Sync account on the management site (account.services.mozilla.com), some of the options are broken: Clear your Sync data and Request a quota increase give me dinosaur-treadmill-escape errors with IDs like 7269f5afb481c69cfd5b3d66fc623401
Update: seems to have been solved via help in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779190 :)

I only have one copy of Firefox installed, Aurora.
I originally installed Beta, but removed it completely before installing Aurora. Sync failed with the Beta, which was part of the reason for switching to Aurora match my desktop set up (in case that helped).
I've set up and removed Sync accounts, and updated Aurora several times - but with no change in Sync's failures.
Today, I removed Aurora again, restarted the phone and reinstalled it. Set up Sync again. It *still* fails. Sync sets up fine, but the actual sync operation never successfully completes.

How do I set the "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" in Firefox for Android?

Due to the security concerns from Heartbleed and Steve Gibson's excellent coverage on certification revocation, I have set "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" on my desktop Firefox and now want to do the same on Firefox for Android. I cannot find anything in the settings menu to allow this. Is it done through about:config and if so, what is the setting name there?

hello mcvickerp, in about:config you can switch the setting "security.OCSP.require" to true.

How to remove Sync login button from Firefox Start Menu

Tried Sync in the past and didn't like it.
The presence of the button adds to clutter I would rather do without.
So, is there a way to get rid of Sync login button from Firefox Start Menu ?
Regards, etc.

If you use userChrome.css then you need to create and chrome folder and the userChrome.css within this folder.
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line

MAPI login failed: Cannot sync DM with Torch anymore

I have updated DM software to OS 6.0 Bundle 2949
When i try to synch, i get the following error
MAPI login failed: please run outlook with profile "outlook" selected and try again
I have the correct outlook profile selected. I could synch my Torch with earlier versions on BB DM software
I have downloaded a new version of DM from the BB website.
Nothing seems to correct this problem
Any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got it to fucntion by doing the following (Win7 OS):
1. Go to control panel and uninstall the BB 7.0 desktop software. Suggest you save/backup whats on your BB just for grins.
2. Download a copy. I found one at website http://www.4shared.com/get/9kFYRX-p/blackberry_desktop_software_61.html
3. I downloaded 6.1.0.35 which works fine with my Bold 9650.
4. Once downloaded, I installed the older version, adjusted the settings and it worked fine again.
Good luck.

Firefox for android doesn't load all my passwords and corrupts bookmarks

Firefox for Android doesn't load all my passwords on my tablet (Lenovo).
Also, syncing corrupts my bookmarks on my desktop and laptop by inserting bookmarks which I have deleted days ago..
It syncs through all three devices and I know that it syncs because when I sync from my desktop, all three devices have the same time-stamp of when they synced.
It seems as though, if you have two usernames/passwords for the same login address, such as 2 Gmails - there is no dropdown which shows both emails/passwords from which to choose from.
This is all very frustrating, especially when I'm out and only have my tablet and I need to login somewhere when I'm with a client, and I can't login because Firefox/Android doesn't show my login info or the bookmark that I need is not there, because my bookmarks are corrupted after a sync.
I have lost clients because of this.

Hi modularbase.
I understand that there are some issues with sync between three devices. Specifically, there is an issue with corrupt bookmarks and passwords that are not stored.
Please make sure these settings are set:
* [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]] * [[Usernames and passwords are not saved]]
* [[Using Master Password on Firefox for Android]]- the password manager addon for mobile devices may benefit in this situation.
However on mobile, specifically for Gmail signin, accounts.google.com can store a few mail accounts, however you would have to add an account by clicking on "Sign in with a different account". In Firefox, passwords are stored by website in the password manager.

How to exctract/backup a client certificate from Firefox for Android similar to question #1000240 but for the latest Firefox Beta for Android?

As in #1000240 and in #1032181, I've installed a StartSSL login certificate in my Firefox for Android and having a problem with extracting/backuping it to use with another device/browser.
I'm using the latest Firefox Beta for Android (35.0) at present; the Android version is 4.1.2, my phone model is Sony LT26i (Xperia S), so neither of the aforementioned questions asked at the Mozilla Support website do not contain any solution to the given problem.
Any chance to recover the certificate?
P. S. I haven't rooted my device; if getting a root is the only possible way to recover the certificate, I may consider doing so.

You can try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/ If that does not retrieve the file then see below.
If you know the name and path of the file you can get it using run-as function of adb. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18471780/android-adb-retrieve-database-using-run-as
If you end up down here you'll need root to be able to navigate the file system. I don't know the file name, though it is likely in your profile folder which can be determined by visiting about:cache in the Firefox address bar. It will be similar to /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/$RANDOM.default/

SUP and SQL login failed

Hi,
Been racking my brain about this one, searched online (including here) but haven't found a solution yet. My scenario is: SCCM 2012 R2 and SQL 2012 (with databases CM_SCM and SUSDB, instance name is MSSQLSERVER) installed on the same server. SCCM will only
be used to build servers using TS. I'm using SCCM as a SUP to do offline servicing of the wim files. This setup was working up to several weeks ago (don't know exactly when it stopped) and since, whenever I do a software update sync, I get
'Sync failed: WSUS server not configured. Please refer to WCM.log for configuration error details.. Source: CWSyncMgr::DoSync'.
Checking the WCM.log I get the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$'.~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow(SoapException soapException)~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccessProxy.ExecuteSPGetConfiguration()~~
at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateServerConfiguration.Load()~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.ClassFactory.CreateWellKnownType(Type type, Object[] args)~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.ClassFactory.CreateInstance(Type
type, Object[] args)~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateServer.GetConfiguration()~~ at Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.WSUS.WSUSServer.SetUpstreamServerSettings(Boolean SyncFromMicrosoftUpdate, Boolean ReplicaServer, String

If I then check the SQL Server log, I have (over and over again) the error:
Login failed for user "DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$". Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <local machine>] - Error 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5
According to http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/01/14/sql-server-v-next-denali-additional-states-for-error-18456.aspx , state 5 indicates (as the error msg mentions) that the login doesn't exist, however in the SQL server it does exist
and is also present under both DBs\Security\Users.
There was no SPN set for the service account I created when setting the server up (in this case sccmsql), I've now set it manually to MSSQLSvc/FQDN:1433, as mentioned in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427336.aspx#BKMK_ManageSPNforDBSrv
, but without any luck.
Thanks in advance for reading this.

Dan,
Remove the SUP role. Remove WSUS and delete the SUSDB. Reboot the site server and reinstall WSUS and SUP. It'll recreate all the required permissions as part of the install.

SqlException was caught: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

Hi,
I have deployed an On-Premise SharePoint solution with event receiver to update external SQLDB. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to create a SharePoint 2013 project on the same machine where SharePoint 2013 server is running. I was able to create
new items, but unable to update/delete. My event were fired accordingly however got choked on sqlConnectionlOpen() when attempting to update/delete with the following exception:
SqlException was caught: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Why would SharePoint uses SharePoint web application account my admin created to create and assumes NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON account for update\delete? Any idea how to fix?
Appreciate your help.

I'm new to SharePoint development. I'm not familiar with SharePoint object model. Do I need to use it for working with external data? I used SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
block like you have suggested and is now working fine for both update/delete =)
My project is to develop a SharePoint site to work off external SQL DB. I tried BCS approach to work with external data but that didn't allow workflow/task feature.
Besides, there is no delete event where I can manually sync with external data when an item gets deleted when using SharePoint 2013 Designer. So using event receiver with SharePoint solution in VS2013 is the solution. Now that I am able to
propagate changes to external data store on item events, the new challenge is how do I over come SharePoint deployment conflict resolution (default? enforcement?) as each publish automatically deletes existing items in my lists and recreate? In another word,
I'm trying to replicate SharePoint list to external data store each transaction to keep them sync. Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox does not sync the bookmarks icons. Why?

Firefox does not sync the bookmarks icons. Why?

Having the same problem. Uninstall and reinstall did not help. Is there any progress on this? I'm using the latest android OS, and sync is working just fine on my other devices. The android phone is syncing my tabs but not my bookmarks.

How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? (instead of the "awesome screen")

How do I set a "normal" home-page in Firefox for Android? I don't want the homepage to be the "awesome screen" (which I personally don't find to be very awesome - way too much going on in one page for a small smartphone screen).
I just want a regular home page that I can set myself. For example, in Firefox for my personal laptop, I've set my homepage Google.com. In Firefox on my work computer, I've set my homepage to our company intranet login. I really prefer and need this flexibility in setting my home page.
In Firefox for Android, if I go into Settings/Customize/Homepage , the only options I see for changing the home page is to de-select certain items on the "awesome screen". There's no option to set a URL address for a normal homepage. If I de-select/hide all the items on the awesome screen, I simply get a blank home page (no web page, just a prompt telling me to enter a URL address).
The other major browsers for Android allow me to set a "normal" home page. Firefox is my favorite browser for my laptop. I wish I could get it to work normally for Android. :( :( :(

hello betsy, at the moment such a feature is not implemented in firefox, but as a workaround you can add a bookmark to a site to the homescreen of your phone, which should have the same effect: [[Use bookmarks on Firefox for Android to keep track of your favorite websites]]

Firefox doesn't detect text field on flash content in the Firefox for Android browser

Using the latest Firefox for Android from Google PlayStore as of 04/19/2013.
Installed Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.54).
Logged in with my account on www.chatango.com, which is a pure flash based site.
I can't type into the text field because the keypad doesn't popup when clicked on the field.

No, you have to click on "Login" and get in with your credentials. And then try sending someone a message. You won't be given a keypad to type with when you click on the input field. Why are you trying to do "Create A Public Group"? That wasn't what I meant when I wrote "Logged in with my account".

Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan:
Thanks for the developer tools feature request
This is a user support forum not a developer tools forum therefore I am locking this thread.
Please file your developer tools feature request on the developer tools uservoice at:
