Impossible to create a Firefox Sync account - captcha is "parked domain"

Hi,
I'm trying to create a Firefox Sync account, and cannot find a way to display the captcha part of the registration process. The area is empty when I don't use my company's proxy, and if I use it, I see that the missing part is an iframe from http://www.misc.com/1.0/captcha.html, which is a parked domain for sale ...
Here are some screenshots of what I see :

Any idea how to solve my problem ?
Thanks

Firefox Sync Account Deleted and unable to create new

My Firefox sync was working fine, until my Firefox for Android, started acting up, and I had to reinstall it. When I tried to set up sync again, it asked for a recovery key, which I didn't have (I know, I'm sorry). Getting the data is not a big deal for me, as my desktop Firefox is still alive and well, so this is where I didn my big mistake. I deleted my sync account. Now I am unable to create a new sync account using that email address, as Sync says, Account already in use. I have deleted it and confirmed in the web portal where it says username/email was not recognised. Please help. I need to set this up. I am reluctant to use a different email account, as all my details are tied in with this one, and I have been using this forever.
Firefox Version: 17
Firefox for Android Version: I don't know, but the latest one, as of 28/11

That's the problem. I have deleted the account and hence am not able to access it anymore. I tried resetting and it says account does not exist. But when I try to create a new sync account it says account already exists. All I want is to be able to create a new sync account using the same email

When creating sync account, CAPTCHA bugged, account locked

I downloaded the Sync Add-On for FF 3.6.13 (Win Vista 32-bit), and went through the setup wizard to create a new sync account on the 'official' sync server.
The wizard got to a screen where there was a heading to the effect of "Prove you are not a robot", at which point I suppose a CAPTCHA was *supposed* to load, but it NEVER DID. So, since I couldn't enter the CAPTCHA, because it never loaded, and I couldn't proceed, I canceled the setup wizard, and tried to start over.
But, now my account seems to be locked. I can't create a new account with the same email address, can't reset the password, and can't login to Sync.
How do I get my account unlocked?

Ok, I got this figured out. I had tried doing the "create account" again, but it was complaining that the 'new password cannot be the same as the current password', which, when creating a 'new' account doesn't seem to make much sense. *However*, I was able to get it to proceed with creating a new account if I just entered a brand new password.
When I got to the CAPTCHA screen again, it again had a basically empty window, but this time I waited longer (a minute or two), and *eventually* the CAPTCHA loaded.
If the CAPTHCA is taking a long time to load, you need to give users some sort of feedback in the User Interface that it's still trying to load the CAPTCHA. It just looks like a broken interface, from a user perspective.

I deleted my Firefox Sync account at one point, but would like to create a new one using the same email address. Is this possible?

I had a Firefox Sync account a while back on an email address and then I deleted it. Now I want to use Firefox Sync again. I had forgotten that I deleted my account, but after trying to send password reset emails to that address and failing to receive them I can only conclude that the email is still on record in Firefox Sync, even if the account has been deleted.
Is it possible for me to set up a new account using this email address? Trying to set it up through Firefox tells me that the email address is in use, when from my point of view it is not.

Strangely enough, sending the email from account.services.mozilla.com did the trick this time! Thanks.

Error during firefox sync account creation, do I need to make a new email now?

So I tried to make a firefox sync account years ago when it was first made, but I messed something up and never got the email confirmation to finish creating the account. I said "Forget this!" and went to do something else.
Yesterday I wanted to sync my desktop firefox with my new laptop, and tried to make a firefox sync account. I used my new primary email address, entered the account information and captcha in, and started the creation. The verification stage was taking a very long time, so I thought I had entered the captcha incorrectly, so I tried entering the captcha again.
That caused the verification to fail, and now I have another email address in firefox sync limbo. Is there anything I can do? I'm running out of email addresses! :\

hello, you could try if a reset email is sent to your account when you use https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot

When I try to create a new sync account using my email address, the response says it's alreay in use. I imagine this is a relic of my old foxmarks account. Is there a way to release that email account from the old version, or to reover the password?

I've gotten an iPhone, and downloaded the Firefox browser to it, and I'd like to sync the browsers between my iMac and iPhone. When I enter my email to create a new sync account, I'm told that it's already in use, but there's no option to retrieve my password.
Any idea how to get around this?

Try the options at https://services.mozilla.com/ and see if you can't recover the password.

Deleted my firefox sync account and now can't get back in.

I recently upgraded to firefox 12 which appeared to break my firefox sync and would not allow me to re-pair my PC or any other devices to my account. In order to try fix the problem, I decided to delete my account. Having done this, I created a new sync account from firefox on my PC using the same email address as I had used in my previously deleted sync account.
This appeared to work alright and so I tried to pair my iPhone (using firefox home) to this new sync account. I used the passcode firefox home gave me and according to firefox on my PC, the sync was successful. However, a minute late, my iPhone came up with the error message "Login Failure: Unable to communicate with server (503)".
I then tried to log in to the firefox sync website with my email address, (https://account.services.mozilla.com/), and got the message "We were unable to log you in". I then clicked on the Forget your password link and entered my email address and got another error message "Unable to locate account. Please check username"!
It would appear that deleting my account and creating a new one with the same email address has stuff everything up? I don't want to have to use a different email address.

Yes, I was thinking it could have just been a glitch in the system.

I delete my Firefox Sync account. I cannot use my regular email address. How can I get it to accept my regular email address?

I delete my Firefox Sync account by mistake. I cannot use my regular email address to create an account for syncing with my iphone and ipad.. How can I get it to accept my regular email address?

Did you really delete that Sync account?
Does it work if you ask for a new password?

What if I have 2 firefox sync accounts?

What if I have 2 separate firefox sync accounts from different computers? If I log out of one and try to log on the other on the same computer, it says it will merge the 2. How does that work?

Hi mmqb817,
This means that the profile that you are attaching to the second account will be merged with the profile that you are logging into. If you wish to maintain two different accounts, to avoid this, you may need to create a new profile.
All the selected synced parts of the profile (ie. passwords, bookmarks) will be merged in the cloud then sync down to the newly attached profile.

I cannot create a new sync account on my desktop because it tells me that my email address is invalid: how do I correct this?

I am trying to create a new sync account, but my email address is rejected as an "invalid address": what must i do to overcome that?

Hi,
One reason could be that the email address is already registered. You can check that by typing a few extra characters. If the email is already registered you can '''Connect''' to that, otherwise you may have to register with another account.

Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

After reinstalling firefox I can no longer use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account, with the same e-mail as my old account.
After some research I was able to find this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ in which I can login with my old account.
My problem now is that I want to retrieve the information that I had in my old sync and I can't find any way to do it.
Also, because I was experiencing severe performance problems using firefox, I deleted some folders in my machine related to Firefox (after uninstalling) including what seemed to be the profile location for firefox.
What is really important for me is: How do I retrieve my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?
Thanks,
V

hello, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.
in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox 28 version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account (with username, password & recovery key) and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

How do I enter multiple email addresses for a Firefox Sync account?

How do I enter my multiple email addresses for one Firefox Sync account?

Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

Cannot generate a Key. Manage Account menu doesn't show up even after following Help articles. Correct username, e-mail and password. I already have a Firefox Sync Account but cannot Add a Device. No way to Sync due to no Key.

I cannot generate a Key to Sync between two computers. Manage Account menu doesn't show under Options > Sync > Firefox Sync Setup > I already have a Firefox Sync Account > I don't have the Device with me. No Sync Key no matter how hard I tried.

Yes I did. '''''I solved this issue last night.''''' First I had to Clear My Sync Data, then Yes I Already Have a Sync Account [enter User, Password] and only then the Key appeared in its proper field. Went to the 2nd computer and wrote down the Key after I Already Have a Sync Account. The bottleneck was to enter into Mozilla server after resetting pass and user, and then, clear data.

When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync.
