I restored the password from the Firefox Sync and data is not synchronized.

I reinstalled Windows and downloaded Firefox, but have forgotten the password synchronization. Successfully restoring it, I connected to my account. But synchronization has not occurred. Other synchronized devices are not available. Can I somehow recover the data?

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Why must I repeatedly enter my master password after installing Firefox Sync and is there a setting to eliminate the need to do this?

Ever since I installed Firefox Sync I am repeatedly required by a pop-up box to enter my master password in whichever of my PCs I am using at the time. That is very annoying and I don't understand why the password is required after initial setup since the Firefox Sync Key is supposed to be unique.

I am running windows 7. We updated firefox and it would no longer open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from firefox website. I click on the firefox icon and it will not open. Help please

It installs and I attempted to launch the browser and it never starts. I tried to uninstall, but it says firefox is running. I restart my computer and uninstall and try again. It still will not open after install is complete. Why won't it ever open up? Help please!

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

How to restore the default time and date?

HI i have encountered with a problem very i have got in screen, one date field and input field TEXT Field name i have give as the <tablename-<tablefield>> like ZFIR-DATES reason giving name like this is i want to save the date in a table ZFIR when i click save. When i am clicking save date is storeing but the problem is date is not displaying defaultly.....on the screen
codeing part..
DATE(10) TYPE C.
before output screen no 100
DATE = SY-DATUM.
Thks

The format of the variable on the screen needs to be the same as the global definition - if it's a date field on the screen then you should have something like
data:
g_date like sy-datum. "naming convention g = global
and g_date on your screen as a date-type field, then in your PAI where you store ZFIR
ZFIR-DATES = g_date.

How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?

I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks.
Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

I am trying to install the Firefox Sync add-on on my desktopin order to install Firefox on my ipod touch 4g but I can't locate the link to create an ID, password & secret phrase.Where is this ?

This is the instruction email i recd:
Greetings!
Follow these five steps to set up Firefox Home and get access to your desktop Firefox history, bookmarks and even your open tabs on your iPhone:
1.
Install the free Firefox Sync add-on on your desktop.
Firefox Home uses the sync capabilities from the Firefox Sync add-on to access your Firefox browser information and securely send it to your iPhone.
2.
Once Firefox restarts, follow the prompts to create an account with both a password and a Secret Phrase.
Firefox Home uses your Secret Phrase to locally encrypt and protect your information.
3.
Firefox Sync will now begin securely synchronizing your data with our service. This initial synchronization may take up to 20 minutes.
Firefox Sync will only work if you are not in Private Browsing mode. Once your initial synchronization is complete, you'll see a Last Update time in the Tools > Sync menu.
4.
To complete the setup, on your iPhone enter your account, password and Secret Phrase in the field provided and tap 'Done' on the keypad.
If you're having trouble logging in, click here for help.
5.
Once complete you will be able to access your desktop bookmarks, history, and open tabs on your iPhone.
If your data is not showing up, click here for help.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

I set up the firefox sync from my computer to my ipad. can I use this acct somehow to get info from my ipad that i lost?

i lost my ipad. i have a sync acct with firefox from my desktop to my ipad 2. how do i retrieve info from my ipad using the firefox sync that i set up

Hi!
Unfortunately the communication with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) is only in one direction: data from your computers will go to your iPad but not the other way around.
That's a limitation of Firefox Home.

Restoring saved password from deteled sync password

to my narrow knowledge that I deliberately remove synced password on my PC, so now on my laptop also gone. Luckily I have a backup portable firefox and in hope of restoring previous saved password.
But everytime I started a backup portable firefox it start to sync and my saved password instantly gone (deleted).
It does what it suppose to do, no mistake. But what I want is to restore my Saved Password from backup, overwrite deleted password in sync server. And finally my password are available in sync server.
Please advice.
Regards.

I'm not trying to backup anything, instead I'm trying to restore my saved password from backup firefox portable.
But everytime I Started my backup firefox portable (with saved password still intact in it) and connected to sync server, It start to delete every last password in it. (Because I previously delete password from sync server from firefox browser from the PC)
What I need is sync server to stop deleting my password or even restoring it with my backup firefox portable.

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

How many users are registered for using the firefox sync server?

I'm working on a german wikipedia article about "Firefox Sync" and I need more information about the current usage and the historical development of this feature - number of registered users for the Sync Server at Mozilla - would be nice to have numbers for 2011, 2012, and current usage.
If possible, it would be also useful to know how many german speaking users are using the sync service.
Where are your Sync Servers located (US, Europe, Asia)?
What kind of systems and platforms are supported?
Is there a current documentation about the importance of the Firefox Sync Service, that I may reference?

thanks for your fast reply,
your URL to the page with the ideas of the new PiCL service shows in the remark about the usability of the "Firefox Sync" some hints about the usage of the current sync service "only 1% of our users have actually done so" - so I will use that as reference.
But it would be nicer to have some public message - for example: a mozilla blog entry - from the mozilla services group about the number of registered Sync Server User - and also about performance and reliabilty.
But if that is private information only, you can close this problem.

I have downloaded the Firefox Sync add on but when I select "add a device" it launces a help page which tells me to click "add a device" - endless circle!

I have downloaded the Firefox Sync add on but when I select "add a device" it launces a help page which tells me to click "add a device" which is an endless circle!
Any advice appreciated

Sorry about that. The help pages have been updated for the new "Add a device" process in Firefox 4, but the add-on for Firefox 3.6 is still using an older, different process.
You can download the Firefox 4 release candidate here and use the new "easy setup" process described in the help pages: http://firefox.com/rc
Or if you prefer to stick with Firefox 3.6, then instead of clicking "Add a device" on your computer, press the "Connect" button on your phone or other device, then click on "I am not near my computer..." and enter your email address, password, and sync key. (If you don't know your sync key, see [[Where can I find my Firefox Sync Key?]])

A few days ago(after a system restore) the firefox 15.0.1 crashes every time i opened(in a few secondes or in 1-2 minutes)

a few days (after a system restore )the firefox 15.0.1 chrashing and freezing every time i open it.in a safe mode i dont have any problem ,but i cant find if blame any addon or anything else.im unistalling and reinstall the update or older version(14 ,15.0)but the problem remain.what can i do?i have win 7 ultimate

If the problems arose after a restore from a Windows restore point you may need to resort to reinstalling Firefox, as sometimes Windows restores have been known to break Firefox.
Security software including Firewalls is another problem that can slow Firefox or cause it not to work. You need to ensure the security software recognises the current version of Firefox (Again I wonder if a Windows restore may have affected this also.)
* [[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
*also see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
If you are getting crashes are you able to provide the Crash IDs for a couple of recent crashes.
* see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]] they can be found by navigating to about:crashes
Also see
* [[Firefox does not work - Common fixes to get you back up and running]]
*[[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
Apparently you say there is no problem in Safe Mode, if so try Firefox with Hardware Acceleration off, if that helps then instead of leaving it off look at your graphics drivers.
* see [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration]]_turn-off-hardware-acceleration
* maybe your graphics driver rolled back on the restore, and needs reinstalling see [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
