How do you retrieve items using Firefox Sync

I installed Sync some time ago when X-Marks said they were no longer doing it.
I have it installed and customized but can't figure out how I would retrieve my stored passwords, etc in the event I need to.
I read some of the articles on the Mozilla site but still can't figure it out.
Is there a web site for retrieval of my info as there was with X-Marks?

It doesn't work. No email is arriving.

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.

Where is documentation on How to Use Firefox sync?

I can find info on how to setup Firefox Sync. I can find NO INFORMATION on how to use it.

Hello,
First, you are using an outdated and insecure version of Firefox. It is highly recommended that you update it:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
Or download a fresh copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* (if you need a different localization): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Once you update, don't these articles contain the information you need?
* [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
* [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
* [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
* [[How do I choose what types of information to sync on Firefox?]]
* [[Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips]]
What is it you are trying to do?

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?

How do you retrieve a Collection of objects using JDBC?

How do you retrieve a Collection of objects using JDBC.
MORE INFO:
I have created a class i.e. Account class and I want to retrieve all the accounts previously created for accounts in my Mysql database..
my method would retrieve an array of Account instances in the database i.e.
public Vector retrieveAccounts();

Connection con = null;
ArrayList accounts = new ArrayList();
try{
con = DriverManager.getConnection(...);
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select * from accounts");
Resultset rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
    Account account = new Account(rs.getString(1), rs.getString(2), ...);
    accounts.add(account);
Account[] account_array = new Account[accounts.size()];
accounts.toArray(account_array);
catch (SQLException sqle) {
   sqle.printStackTrace();
finally {
if (con != null) {
    con.close();
}should pretty much to what you want, you will obviously need to change it so that, a) the SQL query is correct and b) the Account class is correct and c) the correct values are taken from the result set to create an account.

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.)

I am trying to open a website that is using Microsoft content viewer, and the page does not show. Any ideas on how to view this site using firefox. It works on IE.

I am participating in an online class whose website uses Microsoft Content Viewer to view the class content. The browser opens a new page, but nothing is there. At the top of the tab it says Microsoft Content Viewer, and nothing else. Can anyone tell me how to view my course using Firefox? I would prefer not to use IE, but it works there.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

Has anyone used Firefox Sync and Xmarks at the same time?

Firefox is my primary desktop browser. On my desktops, I use Xmarks because I use Firefox, IE and Chrome. It enables me to keep my bookmarks synced across browsers as well as use home/work profiles, etc. However, I'd like to use Firefox Sync so I can sync the bookmarks to my smartphone. Has anyone successfully tried this? I thought I'd ask before trying it myself just in case. Thanks!

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.

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.

Deleted my navigation data on a browser using Firefox Sync

Yesterday I started using a private tab in Firefox for Android, but I accidently switched to a regular tab. And an unwanted site got registered in my history and as auto-complete sugestion... I didn't find any way to remove these individual entries, I got desperate so I deleted the whole navigation data in Firefox for Android. I use Firefox Sync and I still have my old data in my laptop (it uses Ubuntu), but I tried and I can't get the old data back in Android.
I have 3 questions:
- Is is possible to delete indivual entries of history and auto-complete suggestion in Firefox for Android?
- Is it possible to get the old navigation data back in my Android device?

HI,
Yes and Yes.
# you can open a new tab and see the history list. Tap and hold the unwanted history and select "Remove"
# You would have to sync the device to the account. Also you can swipe to history on a new tab and swipe between history and history from today after is syncs to confirm if it is there.
