Firefox will NOT sync since adding password integration add-on for my macs. Is there a plan to resolve this conflict? Once I uncheck password sync works.

I continue to obtain a sync error with unknown error. After spend a few hours online and troubleshooting, I determined by un-checking password sync, no errors were received. I added the add-on for Mac password integration and can only conclude that adding this feature has conflicted with my sync. Does anyone know of any issues or are there fixes already in place I am unaware. I am at that point to return to Safari for my macs due to this and other issues I have been having with Firefox. Thanks.

Hi KevMB,
Thank you for your question. I would recommend you try the new Firefox Sync, however currently it is available in beta starting Thursday.
If the device is already authenticated and is syncs automatically, then the password does not have to be added every time. I do not understand how the Mac password integration works as you describe it to.
If you are talking about choosing to sync stored passwords across devices please select any duplicates that may be stored in the profile under the preferences.
[[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] and[[Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips]] are good references for more help.

  • Firefox will not open using my icon. i have to right click than click open. how can i fix this?

    my desk top icon for firefox will not start firefox when i click on it. i now have to right click and than click open.

    Try to create a new desktop shortcut for the Firefox program by going to the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and use the right-click context menu (Send to > Desktop) on the Firefox.exe file.

  • Firefox will not remember web site passwords

    I have set the security option to remember passwords. I have also set the web site to remember passwords. I still have to log in to my home page every time I open Firefox.
    The home page is www.symbaloo.com.
    Internet Explorer remembers it without issue.
    Thanks.

    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically and won't offer to store new passwords.

  • Firefox will not sync on new laptop though it does sign in to sync

    I bought a new laptop and downloaded firefox. I then signed in to sync. All seemed ok and the message popped up that it would syn momentarily. It does not sync anything even though it shows as signed in. I have rebooted the browser and pc and tried every thing I can imagine. I even signed the old laptop out of firefox syn just in case that was the issue. Please help.

    It says: Setup Complete
    Your data is now being encrypted and uploaded in the background. You can close this tab and continue using Firefox.
    The old laptop has version 33.1.1 - it is up to date.

  • Firefox will not open in Vista SP2 after installing software for a Brother MFC printer.

    I have 7 computer network. All the machines are running Vista SP2. I recently purchased a Brother MFC 9325cw, and installed the printer/scanner drivers as well as a program called scansoft paperport on each of the machines individually.
    I left out the some of the bulkier aspects of the driver package, namely the brother control center because it seems to eat up a lot ram at start up.
    Since I have installed the printer driver on my computers, several of them will not open firefox.
    I have tried re-installing firefox on one machine so far to no avail.
    Next I will try to re-install the brother software. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

  • Firefox will not display my photo website properly nor play the music from it on my new computer. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on those.

    Just set up a new PC and downloaded Firefox. It will not display my Zenfolio Photo website correctly nor will it play the music that accompanies the main page slideshow. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on them. All are Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Note that there is nothing wrong with setting Flash to "Ask to Activate" and click the Lego block icon on the Navigation Toolbar to activate the Flash plugin when needed.
    You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have once you have installed the plugin and checked the setting in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"

  • Firefox will not load any website, it just tries until it times out, is there a security setting either inside or outside of Firefox that might be causing this to happen?

    Firefox was operating normally until I ran a virus scan. I have tried everything I can think of. The computer is connected to the internet because other applications are working and even updated from Microsoft are downloading. I am running XP. Everything else seems to be working as it should.

    I've cleared cache, I do not use a proxy.. The problem occurs both running Firefox normally AND in safe-mode.. As I said earlier in this thread, this laptop is used almost exclusively at starbucks/mcdonalds hotspots.. One thing I've noticed is that when I'm at a starbucks which has google wifi vs the old attwifi, I often do not get any "splashpage", and am immediately connected to the internet, in which case FF comes up perfectly normally, and I don't have to use Chrome to "check the box"... Its pretty darned annoying.. Since this occurs in safe-mode, where, as I understand it, there are NO addins loaded, this has got to be FF itself demanding access to the internet prior to it fully starting.. As I also said earlier, when I start FF just after booting the system, I see FF as a zombie process when I do a "ps -xua" (this is Debian/testing/64bit). Once I have internet access, apparently that zombie process becomes non-zombie (is that even possible??)

  • Firefox will not sync between home computer and laptop

    I recently got a used laptop. after i cleaned it my first order of business was to install Firefox. I already use Firefox on my home computer and have been using the sync feature since it came out. I installed the newest version of Firefox onto both computers (33.1.1) and deleted my old sync account and made a brand new one. I then linked the new laptop using the new account. I log in, and a pop up appears saying "your sync will start shortly" yet NOTHING happens. Both computers are running the newest versions of Firefox and both are logged into the NEW sync account I made today (11/23/14) Why isn't it syncing. Ive scoured the internet all day to try to figure this out but all I've been pointed to his the Firefox FAQ page, which doesn't help me at all

    Hi ThatOneColt,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that after setting up the new sync account that nothing from the two computers are syncing. When you did a new clean reinstall on the old laptop, was the old profile preserved?
    If not, it is possible to further investigate any error messages if you turn on the logs: * How do I turn on sync logs:
    # Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
    # Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
    # Logs and error messages will be located here
    Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not run since it says I will have to close it first. Further I am unable to set my homepage settings to the required one by me.

    My homepage switched to a website I do not wish. I am unable to get my desired homepage back by using the menu. Later on Mozilla won't even run. he message I get that it should be closed first. Whilst the program is closed.

  • Firefox will not prompt to remember password even though the box is checked to remeber them; also I am not in the private browing mode.

    I go to Tools > Options > Security and check "remember passwords" but after visiting another site and enter a password there is no prompt to remember then when I go back to Tool > Options > Security, the box is unchecked. Any suggestions.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Firefox will not sync bookmarks and tabs? It's set up I just can't sync and I need to leave I'd like my laptop sync'd.

    I set up sync yesterday. It worked. But I've added stuff today and cannot get it to sync again.

    Sorry for the poor English. I don't know what happened there, but I can assure you I'm literate.

  • Firefox will not open since the latest apple upgrade. how to fix?

    When I click the icon the address bar appears but the screen does not change. I then click the icon and hold and open a new page still the screen does not change.

    Hello jacm, please try to download and install a new fresh firefox version, follow the next steps:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • Firefox will not open at all on macbook pro and then crashes mac entirely.

    My firefox wont open when I've clicked the icon, though there is a little blue light underneath it. I've installed and re-installed it and still not working. When I do click the icon in the dock my entire macbook freezes and I have to manually restart it. I'm afraid my knowledge of stuff like this is exceedingly limited, I've read through numerous problem solving posts but I just don't understand the instructions others have given. This has previously happened to my firefox and i renamed the .exe(?) file and that made it work but I can't remember how I did it/can't find the post that helped me. I'm sorry to be so basic but I don't know anymore and want my browser working again!

    You won't want Firefox to be a .exe file, thats for windows. Make sure its extension is .app. You can do this by going to Finder>Applications>Firefox>the right click and click the "Get Info" button. Then, about halfway down will be the file name with the extension. Change it to Firefox.app if it is not already like that.
    Also, you can check out this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-keeps-crashing-startup support article] if this doesn't help.
    Have a great day!!

  • Firefox will not open a bookmark in a new tab even though it is set in tools to do this.

    I had problems yesterday and "Norton" logged into my machine. Today when I click on a bookmark, it opens in the same tab.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
