Keep your Firefox in Sync
The page on this:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync?esab=a&s=Keep+your+Firefox+in+Sync&r=7&as=s
is lame.
It does not state, let alone clarify, whether the sync is one way or two way.
In other words. Does this sync my primary firefox use, on my primary computer, with other devices, so that they see what I have done on my primary computer (what I want)
OR
Does it sync what I do on either device with the other?
OR
Can you choose which of these happens?
NOTHING of this is mentioned on the page.
AND there is no link to further information or settings.
I guess I will stick with XMarks (in which all this is clearly stated)
(To add to my disapointment here, there is no option to select to ensure being notified of responses!?)
Sorry, the Firefox Sync service isn't available for new signups for the Sync service on versions of Firefox prior to Firefox 29, the latest release. Sync is available to current users of Sync, who have older versions of Firefox for a few more months - but my guess is that by the time Firefox 33 is out and the new ESR version is completely released, that compatibility period will end. Also, all device have be using the "old" or new version of Sync; once a Firefox Account is updated to the new Sync version it won;t connect to devices still using the old Sync version.
As far as what Sync actually "synchronizes", the various types of data are user selectable per device - but overall the goal is to have all Firefox installations be a mirror of the other installations. Certain types of data sync ''(like tab and browsing history)'' is truncated on mobile devices, though.

How do i get rid of the keep your firefox happy screen?
Think the question says it all. How do I get of the "Keep your Firefox happy" screen? I just want my home page to open when I start Firefox up but nothing I do stops both from opening when I launch Firefox.
hello jack322, maybe the solution is similar to the steps described in [[Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix]].

I am trying to sign up to something but there is only a short window so was going to ask a friend to sign in at the same time using my account to try to sign up (with my password being saved into my firefox account)
Hi. Yes, you can use Sync on multiple devices at the same time. I use it to keep my bookmarks in sync across my desktop and Android versions of Firefox.

When Firefox upgrades you usually get the page that says "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date". Then that's it, until the next upgrade. I keep getting this EVERYDAY, along with the homepage I have bookmarked. I don't need to see this everyday & I see no way to disable it. It comes up even though I have updates and "Check that Firefox is your browser" disabled.
Hi,
Try this: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox|Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] .

I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and I want to sync it with a different PC but I get the message your device is synced with another PC. How do I resolve this issue? I don't have the previous PC.
I want to sync it with a different PC
On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer. -
I uninstalled Firefox from my computer, then I reinstalled it and tried to run it, but this message appeared, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" and Firefox does not open at all.
hello davidrusso71, press windows-key+R on your computer and open ''%appdata%\Mozilla\'' - an explorer window should come up, in there rename the folder labelled "Firefox" to something like oldFirefox. on the next start of firefox this should lead to a new profile being created...
you might want to import some of your old data into the new profile afterwards: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] -
Firefox won't open for me. I keep getting the errors listed below:
"your firefox profile cannot be loaded. . It may be missing or inaccessible."
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."
Nothing is running. I've killed all the firefox processes, restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled.
What can I do?
Thanks
KrisDid you delete the profiles.ini file?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app? When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.
The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone. -
All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

When I set my Firefox to open to my home page, the next day doesn't keep the settings, and when I open a new tab, the 9 click links aren't there. I have reset twice and have no toolbars, but it repeats.
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Hope this helps!

Setting up your iPhone to sync with 1and1 Exchange Server.
_+*You *must have* iPhone firmware version 2.0 and higher to sync to Exchange Services+.*
iPhone and 1and1 exchange work amazingly well. Most folks out there are still using the IMAP side of the 1and1 Exchange service. *"THIS IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONING EXCHAHGE"*! Here is how to really set up your phone to sync Mail, Calendars, and Contacts with 1and1 Exchange accounts.
From your home screen:
1: Go to the settings control panel on your iphone.
2: Touch the "*Mail, Contacts, Calendars*" tab.
3: Touch the "*Add Account...*" tab.
4: Touch the "*Microsoft Exchange*" tab.
A screen asking you to "*Enter your Exchange account information*" will appear.
5: type your email address attached to your 1and1.com exchange account.
ex. "[email protected]"
6: type your domainusername. Your 1and1 username is one that is assigned to you by 1and1.
the username must be typed out in this manner: exchangee123456789
*If you already know your 1and1 Exchange Username then skip to step 7.*
Your 1and1 username starts with an "e" and its followed by nine numbers (ex.: e123456789). If you do not know this username you have to go to your Administrator panel at the 1and1 site,(Here is the URL to the admin page. *http://admin.1and1.com*).At the prompt enter your customer number *which is located on your monthly 1and1 invoice* followed by your password. if you have never seen this control panel you will have to sign in and get a password to access this area. Once in the Admin area under the packages tab click the url labled "*1&1 Microsoft Exchange*". You will now be in the *Administration Tab*. Now under the *communications tool* section click the URL labeled *"Microsoft® Exchange Account Overview"*. You will now see a list of the exchange usernames in that exchange package. Find your username and either print out the page or write the number down.
7: type your 1and1 exchange account password.
8: type a description that best corresponds with your 1and1 exchange account. As a suggestion you should type a description that makes your account stand out. "*ex. 1and1 exchange account*" (this will be helpful later in distinguishing what calendars come from which account if you are syncing multiple calendars.)
9: touch the "Next" button at the top right of the screen.
iPhone will connect with the 1and1 exchange server and authenticate your account. If the authentication fails check one of your entries then try again.
10: once iPhone authenticates your account a field called "Server" will appear between the "Email" and "Username" fields. Enter "exchange.1and1.com" into this field.
11: touch the "Next" button at the top right of the screen.
12: Select which part of the Exchange Services you would like sync with your iPhone.
ie. *Mail, Contacts, or Calendars*. (Simply slide the on or off switch next to the service you either wish to sync or exclude.)
13: once you have chosen your services touch the "Save" button at the top right of the screen.
iPhone will once again contact the 1and1 Exchange server. You will be returned to the mail settings screen.
You are now done
If you don't have any contacts on your iPhone just go look at your address book now. If you chose to sync your address book all of your contacts have populated themselves into your iPhone contacts tab.
AWESOME
Welcome to Exchange on the iPhone!
Some thing to try to verify your Exchange account.
1: Create a Calendar or Address book entree in your iPhone. Now watch it appear on your Outlook account.
2: Tell a friend with Outlook to invite you to a calendar event. You will receive an invitation right there on your iPhone screen.
Have fun and enjoy your new iPhone.
+*I would like to thank all of the folks at Apple Computer for their time and efforts in making the iPhone the coolest phone/PDA/game console/business tool in the planet!*+

Message was edited by: Angel BanchsUnless Apple decides to license ActiveSync from MS, this will not happen.
Apple hasn't done so since OS X was first released for whatever the reason or reasons and although always/never should not be used, I'm not sure how likely this is.
I venture to say that Apple is well aware that the iPhone is limited to business use as is - at least for those with an Exchange account - with a company or IT department not willing to enable IMAP account access for email accounts. Initially, the iPhone was not designed nor intended for the enterprise/business market as is a Blackberry, Palm or Windows Mobile device. It is obvious from the commercials that the focus - at the present time anyway, is as a consumer device. The iPhone/iPod Touch SDK scheduled to be released on March 6 may change this but what will come out of the SDK and when is unknown at this point.
If you need to access your Exchange account with the iPhone and your company and IT department refuses to enable IMAP account access, there are no workarounds for this. There are ways to make accessing an IMAP account secure by requiring SSL for the incoming and outgoing mail servers and the iPhone also supports VPN - virtual private network access which is secure.
Other than that and you don't want to keep the iPhone for personal use, it is probably best to return it and wait until after the SDK is released to see what may turn up. -
Keep Orange Firefox Menu Button in Fullscreen
When I use Firefox in Fullscreen it get rid of the Orange Firefox menu button how can I keep the menu button in fullscreen
If you want to keep the Firefox menu button then your only option is to maximize the window.<br />
That should place the menu bar and tab bar in the title bar.
It is possible to have the menu bar showing in addition of the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar if you hover the mouse to the top with code in the userChrome.css file.<br />
This only works if the menu bar is visible in normal mode (View > Toolbars / Firefox > Options)
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

I do not understand what more information you require. I have downloaded Firefox 4 four times, but Firefox keeps telling me that I am using an outdated Firefox!
Please do the following.<br><br>
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop.<br><br>
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.
