How do I get rid of "old" sync 'instances' from my Sync-ed group of FireFox devices?

I have been using Sync to share History, Bookmarks and Tabs for ~a yr on three devices [my main computer (an XP desktop), a rarely used laptop (Windows 7), and an Android tablet]. A couple of months ago I replaced my HARD DRIVE, requiring the creation of a new sync profile. Other issues with firefox caused me to recreate new profiles.
Now when I use sync on my tablet to access currently open tabs, I see 6 different sets of "currently open tabs". one from the tablet, one old one from the laptop and four sets of tabs from my desktop computer. Each of them is a different snapshot in time of some open tabs; only one of them is current. How can I clean this up?
Perhaps the easiest way to to just redo the Sync registration for my main and then all of my additional devices. IS there another way?
Also, is this possibly related to my main computer not "finding" Bookmarks that I have Tagged? This is most annoying; as I had begun to use Tags as a means of avoiding creating a Library employing massive hierarchy of Foldered bookmarks. This worked great for a long time; but now many tagged bookmarks are just never displayed.
Thanks in advance!

  • How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

    How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

    Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

  • How do I get rid of the iDisk icon from my desktop?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" with the latest version of Snow Leopard. My local hard drive icon was missing but thankfully I figured out how to get that back. However, I also have the blue iDisk icon on my desktop for which I have no use. How do I get rid of that icon? I trying ejecting it (Command-E) but to no avail.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Randy

    The same thing happened to me, and I finally found the answer. I thought I'd post in case others had the same problem:
    Snow Leopard has a new setting under System Preferences > MobileMe within the "iDisk" tab: there's a feature now called "iDisk Sync" that lets you create a virtual "DropBox" from your iDisk if this feature is turned on -- disabling it as a internet only drive.
    If you turn this feature off, however, your iDisk will work as expected and allow you to mount / eject it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get rid of the 1/16" space between my igoogle homepage and firefox ribbon?

    I am currently running Firefox 4 and have igoogle set as my homepage. Both with the previous version of Firefox and with the new one I have about a 1/16 inch blue gap/space between the top of my igoogle homepage and the bottom of the Firefox ribbon/header. How do I get rid of this eyesore? It is only when I am on my igoogle homepage that this is a problem. All other pages are seamless.

    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.

  • How do I get rid of the blank space at the bottom of the new Firefox menu?

    The new firefox 4 has a different menu system. IT has blank space at the bottom wiht just a plus sign that opens new tabs. I can get that from the + sign by the tabs and don't want it or the rest of the blank space on the bar. I need all the space in the main window I can get. How do I get rid of this?
    Found my own answer, disable Conduit Engine toolbar, whatever the heck that is. Why it's enabled to start with is beyond me.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

    Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • How to best get rid of old ipod?

    I have a 3rd generation ipod. It doesn't work and all I want to do is just get rid of it. I already have a new ipod so I don't want/need to trade it in. I would like to know the best way to recycle/throw away my old ipod.

    If you go to eBay and sell it, you should get some cash for it, even if its not a lot. Alternatively, you could sell it to an online store like www.ipodmods.com . They buy broken/non functional iPods from all over the world and then pay you for them! They then use the parts from your iPod to refurbish and repair other iPods.

  • HT204266 How do I get rid of recently purchased apps from the app store?

    I need to know how to get rid of the recently purchased apps because there are sooooooo many.

    First put you're finger and hold down on the app you would like to delete. It and all of the other apps would start to shake like their scared on which app you're going to delete . Tap the "X" on the app you want to get rid of and hit confirm.
    Hope this helped!

  • How do I get rid of a bar at the bottom of my screen in FireFox?

    I'm using FireFox 8.0 in Windows XP with all service packs.
    The website: www.washingtonpost.com,
    in it's major news stories, such as:
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romney-under-attack-in-final-nh-debate/2012/01/08/gIQAAOfHjP_story.html?hpid=z2#weighIn
    has started a line at the bottom of the Comments pages that it calls: @mentionmachine
    There have been howl's by readers since day one of this lines start but washington post has done nothing to get rid of it.
    Is there any way in FireFox to get rid of this stupid, line wasting "feature"?

    Thanks for the reply. I should have stated up front that am totally ignorant on programing and customizing stuff.
    I don't have a clue how to get to, find or open the file.
    I did look through all the selections on the fixfox bar at the very top of the page but didn't see anything called "chrome folder in the user profile folder".
    If it's simple for me, the "green horn" to get to please point me in the right direction.
    If it's any more complicated I'll just live with it.
    But, again thanks for your response.
