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.

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.

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.)

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?

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem.

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.

Firefox sync worked fine until I upgraded Firefox to version 5.0.1, then all my bookmarks added since I started use Firefox sync dissapeared

Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 all bookmarks I added since I started use Firefox Sync dissapeared, only old bookmarks remain. Before upgrade syncing worked fine.

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

Hard reset by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake lock button (BUtton on the bottom of your display, button you use to turn the screen black) hold them both down for 15 seconds till you see the apple reappear

I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
1. Don't apply the update.
2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

My daughter has entered the wrong passcode too many times, it is now disabled. When I connect to iTunes, it will not let me go any further until I enter the correct passcode. I no longer get the option to do this, all I get is iPOD disabled. Help
