How do I use Firefox sync on my Android device with both Aurora and Release?

I have both Aurora and Release installed on my Android phone. I have set up a New Sync account on my desktop. I can log in to it with Release, and it syncs great.
However, my Aurora build keeps popping a "could not sign in" notification. If I touch the notification, it takes me to sync settings. I try to log in (same username and password), but it says "Could not sign in".
if I look in my Android settings, I have two "accounts" - one for Release and one for Aurora - and _both_ claim that they most recently synced 5 minutes ago! But I made an update to my bookmarks on desktop 10 minutes ago, and it's appeared in Release but not in Aurora. So the Aurora "last sync time" seems to be a lie.
The reason I'm on SUMO is that I don't know if this is a supported configuration. I remember with old sync there were some rules about whether you could have multiple copies of Firefox on the same device. Is this a supported configuration? If so, should I file a bug or have I missed something here?

HI Snickers,
There is an option to sync tabs. About:sync-tabs works on the desktop and can see the tabs from that device however this feature is not available for the mobile device. However from an active sync the current sessions are visible from the desktop page.
In order to restore a session you may be able to restore the session if it crashed. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026370#answer-644109 With these instructions]

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items.

How do I use Firefox Sync data from my Android phone to restore data to my desktop browser?

I was attempting to cull some history, Firefox became non-responsive and had to be force closed. When it was re-opened, all my tabs which are typically restored were missing and I did not have the option to restore the session. According to sync on my Android, the last update there was about an hour ago, which would have been before issue with the desktop browser. How can I restore my info from my phone, ensuring it is not overwritten by the lack of data now on my desktop version?

How do I use Firefox OS on my Android Phone?

I am MTV Volt by Swipe Telecom which runs on android platform.
I want to use Firefox OS on my mobile. How can I do this?

Hi jashankhalsa,
Firefox OS is an entire operating system. The only way to run Firefox OS is to purchase a device that comes with it, or manually porting it to a specific device - which can brick your phone and is only advised for advanced users.
However, you can download and run the Firefox browser that is available for Android in Google's Play store. =)

When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?

How can I pair Firefox browser intalled on Android tablet with my TV?

My TV is connected to my home network internet through Smart Hub on Samsung Blu-ray. The Smart Hub has its own browser which is very slow and can not be paired with my Android tablet. I could pair YouTube with YouTube/pair though ! I tried to download FF, but the Smart Hub won't do it?
In short, how can I run the internet from my laptop or Android tablet ?
Thank you in advance for you help.

Hello Philipp, thank you very much for your response and help. Yes, definitely I will read the documentation of my device manufacturer...
I hope I will be able to figure this out.
Have a blessed day,
Samir

If I lost my mobile, how can I deactivate firefox sync on it... without it?

I have Firefox Sync running on my laptop, my desktop and on my smartphone too. If someone stole my phone... how can I stop Firefox Sync only on that device, from my laptop or desktop? I only know how to disable firefox sync on the device I want to disable. But if the device is not with me anymore... What should I do? If I stop using Firefox Sync on my desktop, my laptop will not sync anymore..

You'll need to change your Sync password and then reconnect things using the new password. For more detail, read here:

Can I use Firefox Sync on a public computer, as I did with Xmarks?

I am going to miss Xmarks. How can I use Firefox Sync when I go to an internet cafe?

Sync doesn't allow this because the data is encrypted by the client — in order to provide web access we'd need to be able to read your data (or hand it over to the FBI!) and we don't want to do that.

Add another computer
Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
Enter your account email address
Enter your password
Enter your Recovery Key
Then click Next
You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

Can anyone help?

I use Firefox Sync at home. I just set it up on my Work Computer. I've completely different Info on both these computers. How is it managed?. Will i lose anything on any computer?. I've named the computers differently.

I have firefox sync setup in my laptop with firefox 3.6. I am migrating to a new laptop with firefox 4. How to import the synced entries from my old browser?

I have been using Sync plugin with my Firefox 3.6 installation. Now I am moving to a new laptop with Firefox 4. How do I import the synced entries from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4?

Hi!
You have 2 options. If you decide to use Firefox Sync to do it, follow the instructions described here: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]
The other option is to do it manually. To do so, you need to migrate the profile. Follow this steps: [[Backing up your information]]

Use Firefox Sync to store bookmarks in the cloud?

Can I setup Firefox Sync even if I only have one device? If so, can I use Firefox Sync to backup my bookmarks to the cloud (instead of using a third-party extension?) I'm guessing that Sync stores bookmarks in the cloud because how else would it be able to merge bookmarks with another device (e.g., a phone)?

Sync does indeed store the data you choose to Sync in the cloud.
Because you need to retain a lengthy unique code in order to recover that data from a different installation of Firefox, many users find it not to be a good method of backup because that Recovery Key was lost in a hard drive crash or reformat. Make sure you store the key in a safe location outside of your computer along with your username and password.
If you end up choosing to use a different cloud backup service such as Crashplan or Carbonite, you can point it to your bookmarkbackups folder so you have a number of files for potential recovery. To get the full path to that hidden folder, the easiest way is to access it from within Firefox.
You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Double-click bookmarkbackups. You should see numerous files that are date and time coded. You can click after the folder name in the address bar to select and copy the path. (This is based on Windows 7, but I assume Windows 8.1 is similar from the desktop side.)

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.
