Firefox won't sync passwords between computers

Hello,
I recently got a new desktop computer and would like to move my Firefox data from my laptop. Using sync, I have successfully transferred my bookmarks. However, my passwords are not syncing.
I do not have a master password enabled and I have clicked the option to sync passwords on both devices. When I use the Options menu to view my saved passwords on both computers, I can definitely see that the many passwords I have saved on the laptop have not made it over to the desktop. I have tried restarting Firefox on both devices. I do also have the latest version of Firefox on both.

and what really pissed me off was he said that he would make sure that all my information would copy and paste over to the new firefox.. yeah NOT, I'm having to go back and add all my tabs/websites. what I do love about Firefox is the pinning of tabs and remembers passwords/information. again Thanks

  • HT1631 How  can I share and sync passwords between  iMac and iPad

    I'm in password ****!!!!  My memory is not what I once was and managing passwords on my iMac and iPad is making me crazy.  The iMac is the home planet at work for the iPad and it use it all day... the iPad is my device of choice when at home. 
    The value of a strong password cannot be understated in these times!!!!
    Is there an easy way to sync passwords between the two.  I find I spend way to much time  resetting passwords because I simply cannot remember them.
    Again... and again... and again... is the story of my life.
    Help
    mike

    The following may help:
    If you are using Safari on both devices and you have iOS 7.0.3 or later on the iPad and OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later on the Mac, iCloud Keychain may be what you want: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    There are other options available with 3rd party software. Two popular ones are https://lastpass.com and https://agilebits.com/onepassword

  • Firefox Home not syncing passwords

    I've installed Firefox Sync on my home desktop and Firefox Home on my iPod Touch.
    Selected "sync everything" and now on my iPod I have all my bookmarks and tabs correctly synced.
    However when I go to a bookmark which on my desktop automatically remembers the username/password, on the iPod the page loads but none of the password fields have been automatically entered.
    Obviously something isn't syncing correctly, but the help system offers no advice on how to solve the problem.
    I've tried refreshing everything, closing and opening the app (on desktop and iPod) but still no success.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Sorry, the current version of Firefox Home for iPhone/iPod does not sync passwords. It only syncs tabs, bookmarks, and history.
    You can sync passwords in Firefox on your Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, and in Firefox for Maemo and Android phones.

  • How do you sync files between computers

    I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.

    Hello AshleyRiverman,
    It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Sync Mail Between Computers

    I am running 2 macs. I have one problem...is there any way that I can have my mail sync on both computers without .mac ... It can be quite a pain having to check then delete the mail on one computer, and then come on my other computer and have to delete all the same messages. Again, I would not like to have to subscribe to .mac ... I know it is a great program from mac, but the fees can be a pain, so if there is any way to do this, I would thank you!!!!
    Thank You.

    Hi.
    With .Mac mail, it allows you to run it as a IMAP mail, which stores everything on the mail server.
    That is the kind of mail you probably looking for, to "sync" between two or more macs, you basically access your entire mail account, which is on a mail server, via an email program like Mail or Entourage.
    So if you do not wish to subscribe to .Mac, then you would have to look for another mail account, that supports IMAP.
    Incidently, if you are looking for a free email account, and don't mind accessing it fromt the web, (i.e. web-based mail) then there are a lot for you to choose from: GMail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail
    Cheers

  • Firefox won't sync to my Android device, even though I have logged in (to the new Sync), and unlinked and relinked my phone and PC multiple times. Help?

    Pretty much just what the question says. I got a new phone, logged into sync on Android, and my phone will not populate the information that it should from my sync account. I am running the new sync, am updated to the current version on both platforms, have all the appropriate boxes checked, and have tried logging out and then back in again, multiple times, in attempt to reset the sync to populate the information. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When you say 'Sync' do you mean to the cloud?
    I suspect there is some issue were space used is being reported incorrectly.
    My iPad mini only has a 97Mb file to sync to cloud (I don't try to sync much of it), I have 2.2 free space in the cloud, and it won't sync. I've also noticed that some games like Fieldrunners won't save games, nor will the Drawing Pad app save pics my kids create. All of these issues seem related to how the iPad views it's own use of space.
    Getting close to wiping the thing and starting again. Even an OS upgrade to 8.1.1 hasn't helped.

  • How do you sync tabs between computers with Mozilla Firefox Sync?

    I have some groups of tabs. Can I sync these groups to my new PC?
    When synchronization is complete, nothing changes and the group is not synchronized!

    Hi bendorzx,
    You can sync tabs, but I am not sure about groups.
    There is a bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011357] that could use some more information on this.
    Cheers!

  • Firefox won't forget passwords on restart in v. 23

    I recently allowed my XP SP3 computer to upgrade from v16 to v23 (most recent beta version that Firefox forces you to have). Now, all passwords are remembered despite what I have set for them.
    In all previous versions, if I did not choose to Remember Password, then Firefox would not - I did not have to set an exception. On restart, I would just have to log in again. Now after having upgraded, I cannot get Firefox to stop remembering my passwords after restart. I have cleared all cookies and cache. I have even set the exception, but it still just logs me in to my gmail and facebook.
    What is wrong with the newer versions of Firefox that you can't just chose to not remember the passwords and it won't?

    Sorry - I accidentally chose your answer as the solution, when I don't think it is. While what you say makes sense, I never had this problem with older versions. Once you restart Firefox, it is supposed to start a new session, even if you open the previous tabs from the last one. That is what is going wrong in this version. I should be able to restart FF, and it start a new session with previous tabs, but maybe it is not starting a new session.

  • Syncing documents between computers?

    When I had MobileMe, I used my iDisk to move files back and forth between my home and work computers.  I've just "upgraded" to iCloud, and based on what I'm reading, it looks like iCloud only lets you keep documents in sync if they're produced in Apple's own document suite (Pages, Keynote, Numbers).  Is that correct?  Is there no way in iCloud to sync other documents?
    Thanks in advance!

    Never mind, I've figured it out.  Apparently now I can use my Time Capsule as a self-hosted iDisk equivalent, which seems to work just as well as iDisk did.

  • Firefox won't sync.

    Hello. I just bought a new computer and am using the latest version of Firefox. I logged in to sync to transfer all of my bookmarks and passwords, but so far nothing has transferred and it has been two days. I've logged out and back in to sync and nothing has happened. I do get a confirmation saying that sync will transfer momentarily, but then nothing happens beyond that.
    Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

  • Is it possible to sync catalogs between computers?

         I would like to sync PSE 10 catalogs (over my homegroup network) between my desktop computer (Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit) and my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit), similar to the syncing between a computer and the photoshop.com website.  Is that possible?

    If you're talking about synching the photos, and the photos are on the computers, the answer is "No" because the catalog keeps the location information keyed to the drive ID.
    If you want to store the photos on a network storage device that's common to both computers, it can be done.  See this FAQ:

  • Firefox won't save passwords; reminder option does not come up... on two different PCs in two different homes.

    Both PCs: XP PRO SP3; Seagate Barracuda HDs, routine environment for both, no games, Microsoft Office, Quicken, stuff like that. One is an ABIT 2.2 GHz clone; other is Compaq EVO 1.7GHz DT.... boring, boring, boring but both 3.50+ FF installations do same thing - Won't offer to save logons and PWs. Have done ALL, repeat ALL the usual TOOLS|OPTIONS stuff. Nothing, NADA, ZIP. Please help - suspect registry? - ABSOLUTELY!

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"

  • .Mac failing to sync Contacts between computers--what do I need to Copy?

    I have two computers syncing everyhting via .Mac but today after making a lot of changes on one (the Quad), the Powerbook is blowing up with the following statement (which I see is not an uncommon error after reading a lot of post):
    .Mac Sync Notice
    An inconsistency was detected on .Mac for your Contacts data. You may want to reset .Mac from a computer with good data.
    I have tried following the .Mac support ideas:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc9.html
    The 'Reset Sync History" did not change the error.
    So now, I am thinking of going back to the old fashion way and just manually copy the file from my Quad over. Other than AddressBook.Data in Library/Application Support/AddressBook do I need to copy anything else to get back to a steady state????
    PB 17 1.33 GHZ & 12 1GHZ & new Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I manually copied over entire Address file and then reset Quad first to overcopy .Mac and then PC to reset to .Mac.
    Had to do it twice, but eventually I was able to get it to work again.

  • SAVING ISSUES!!! Firefox won't save passwords, won't ask to save them. I've used this for 2 years +. I know where the settings are. New comp, Windows 7, Ffx 4. Prompted to save the password 5 times and stopped

    The settings are all correct. New machine. Only has the operating system and Firefox. No conflicting programs. It did 5 then stopped. Nothing has been added or changed since downloading FF.

    Same issue here. I am '''NOT '''running in Private Browsing mode.
    This may be an issue related to other add-ons, or not. I tried the remember-password bookmarklet with one site and it Worked! But when I looked in the saved passwords, the new userid and password were not there. I waited a few minutes and looked again, and mysteriously, it was there. Perhaps a caching issue. Exceptions box is empty.
    I think this in an important issue that must be tracked and not assumed is always an operator-error.

  • Podcasts simply won't sync correctly between mac

    and iPhone 6. They sync randomly. I get old episodes I've already played, and not the new ones I haven't played. I've followed every instruction on the apple support site, and it simply doesn't work. It's very frustrating. So I have to go back to using my five year old iPod to listen to podcasts, because it will actually sync the unplayed episodes from my mac when I connect it. I'd like to just carry the iPhone and not the podcast, but the software has made that impossible. I love the iPhone, but the podcasts app may be the worst piece of software I've ever encountered. Would be nice if Apple would fix it, but I've seen complaints about this all over the forums, and Apple seems uninterested in addressing the problem.
    I've spent too long today trying to make it work. No use spending good time after bad. The software simply is a piece of.....you know. Too bad. Sadly, there don't seem to be many great alternatives out there.
    How hard can it be to have a setting where your podcasts on your phone and mac simply sync to each other? Of course, that is what it says it does, but it doesn't even come close to actually doing that. I keep looking for some third party work around, but haven't found that either. Apple has long advertised that things "just work" right out of the box. That used to be true. I hope they get back to that.

    I found an answer in another thread that solved the problem very easily.  Just needed to change the date range for the reminders under settings to All Reminders. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4318462?start=0&tstart=0
