New firefox sync does not send verification email. I'm locked out.

Once I installed the FirefoxDeveloperEdition, I tried to sync my datas, but noticed it didn't work.
I dug a little and found there is a brand new Firefox Sync (maybe trying an old Firefox Sync account could notify the user it cannot add any new device).
So I followed the support article in order to migrate and disabled my old Firefox Sync first. Then I tried to register a new account, and I'm stuck at the email verification step. I click on the “send verification email” but I don't receive anything.
Now I cannot sync anything for two days, and can't figure what's wrong. I use the same email as this “mozilla support account”. I forgot my password so I did request for a password modification and received the email. Everything seems to work so far. Except for Firefox Sync.
Did I miss something ?

Hi CoryMH and loranger,
If I read that currently you have reset your password and have successfully reset the password of the old sync, however there is no evidence of the new account syncing in the FirefoxDeveloperEdition because the verification email is never sent.
So I tested this with an account I know that already exists and it did not detect the account right away:
I submitted the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1097781
But please try to remove the account from the Developer's edition and add it one more time and go to about:accounts.
Does it sync on the second try without the verification email?

  • Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

    I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

    Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

  • I want to sync mail on a few computers but Firefox sync does not appear in the tools menu. Do I need to download and install syncing tool? Thanx

    Also, bear in mind, please that at home I use Mac and in the office Win 7. I'd like to be able to sync my emails on both computers and my netbook which I use when travelling.
    Thanx
    Dean

    Firefox doesn't do email, thus Firefox Sync has no features for email.
    If you are accessing your email thru Firefox, you are using web mail. By default most email portals keep your email until you delete it. You should be able to access your email from anywhere - not device dependent.

  • Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections Timer Job does not send notification Email when the Site is created

    Hello Everyone,
    My problem is:
    The Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections job does not send a Notification Email when the Eval Site is created. I only get a notification E-Mail that mention that a Upgrade Evaluation Site Colletion is requested and then after 27 Days that the Evla
    Site will be deleted in three Days.
    My Enviroment:
    SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 on Windows Server 2012
    Exchange 2010 SP3
    I hope someone can help.
    best regards
    domschi

    Hi domschi,
    As I understand, you didn’t receive email generated from Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections timer job. While you might receive email generated from Delete Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections.
    When you request an evaluation site collection, the request is added to a Timer job
     which runs once a day. You will receive an e-mail message when the upgrade evaluation site is available. This might take up to 24 hours. The message includes a link to the evaluation site. Upgrade evaluation site collections are set to automatically
    expire (after 30 days by default).
    Please go to CA > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions, locate issue timer job and click Run Now. Then go to Job History and check if the issue job failed to run.
    Also, please check if the email are received by Exchange Hub server.

  • For some reason, mypassword on my iPhone does not work and a I am locked out.  Any idea on how to resolve?

    For some reason my passwrod on my iPhone is not working and now I am locked out.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Firefox Sync does not preserve any GUI or search settings

    The sync function is supposed to store and restore all of your data. It does fine with add-ons and themes, but none of the GUI changes made to Firefox are preserved. Everything done in the "Customize" menu is left behind, along with any toolbars. Search preferences are also not transferred.
    Please tell me there is a solution to this - I do not want to have to switch back to Chrome.

    I saw that in the other thread about this issue as well, and did not try it, because it was reported not to work.
    I had to create a new boolean - that entry isn't one of the defaults in about:config. I set it to 'true', and Sync started syncing. I waited until it finished, rebooted to my other copy of Windows, and uninstalled its copy of Firefox and deleted %APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox to get rid of my preferences and profiles.
    I reinstalled Firefox, logged into Sync, and waited for it to sync. The UI is still the default, it's exactly the same as it was without that preference set. I even tried it all again, creating that preference before logging into Sync. The GUI was, again, not changed at all.
    That value does not exist by default, and it does nothing, unfortunately.
    So, the report was correct. That tip is no good.

  • Why firefox sync does not restore password after a sync ?

    I work on 2 computers, one at home and one at work.
    I created firefox account from home.
    Each time when at work I configure sync then click "I don't have device with me" + enter my firefox sync key.
    Then I browse many websites at work + enter passwords + launch "synchronize now".
    Then the following day I come back at work + click "I don't have device with me" + enter my firefox sync key. + launch "synchronize now" => All bookmarks are restored but not passwords (no password textboxes and login textboxes are filled automatically).
    Why?
    Thanks

  • Firefox sync does not replace my local data with server data

    I reformatted my laptop and re-installed Firefox 3.6 and also the add-on. I manage to setup firefox sync and chose the option to erase local data and replaced with server's data. to my dismay, my bookmarks are not synced.

    If you didn't make a backup of the Sync key before reinstalling Windows then you can't access your sync account to sync your data to the new installation.
    If you reset your sync key and generated a new sync key then that causes your data to be removed from the sync server and can't be accessed anymore.

  • New Firefox version does not work with my Viroshop storefront.

    Every product page visited now says the item is in the cart. This does not happen in IE or on my iPad, and did not happen in previously installed Firefox versions.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • On two computers with ubuntu 12.04 & firefox 15, firefox sync does not work

    I have three computers that all use ubuntu 12.05 and firefox 15.0
    I cant nake firefox sync work, although in eralier days it was flawless. I cant figure out whether the syncing up or syncing down is the problem. Is there any way of knowing what is in the contents of the sync cloud?
    I have tried all the remedies posted on the firefox sync site

    It is NOT officially recommended to use outdated versions of Firefox, as they will be insecure. (Obviously many users will be able to make their own decisions on the risks and consequences, but others looking for quick fixes may read this thread later)
    * [[Install an older version of Firefox]] Note that includes links to the ftp downloads of Mozilla builds of previous versions of Firefox.
    On Windows : - Just google it :P
    * [[Install Firefox on Windows]]
    * also on Windows as an additional version some may consider Firerfox Portable, as an easy install http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable (No need to manually set up multiple profiles)
    Also note there is the option of using Mozilla builds on Linux
    * [[Install Firefox on Linux]] (IIRC last time I tried it on 64 bit Linux Mozilla tried to install 32bit Firefox so I used a ftp download)
    I do not have multiple machines available to test sync, but I would have expected to see reports if Firefox 15 was failing on all Linux installs. Are posts appearing on forums for particular Disto's

  • My send email vi does not send the email out

    I am trying to send an email notification and using labview's example vi to send. In the server response everything looks great. It also says "Queued mail for delivery", but I dont' get any email back.
    I am sending the email to myself, and also tried sending to other people, but it just doesn;t work. Are there any issues with the server authenticity?

    Are you using the 'E-Mail Notification.vi' example? This example creates
    a return address based on the server response. Can you try replacing
    the generated return address with the email address you are sending to?
    Don't know for certain whether that will make a difference with your
    mail server. I think the servers we had trouble with were some flavor
    of microsoft; they bounced messages from [unknown user]@[mailserver].
    What mailserver?

  • Firefox Sync does not sync usernames or passwords to my iPad

    I set up Firefox Home on my Desktop and it syncs all bookmarks to my iPad which is perfect.
    However, when using my iPad and Firefox Home, I select a book mark which resolves to an online location as it should but ... non of my login information is pre-populated such as usernames or passwords. Isn't this supposed to be the correct behavior? Did I misunderstand the value of Firefox Sync?

    Thanks for your response. What is stated about Firefox Home is:
    "Firefox Home is a free application that works with Firefox Sync to give you instant access to your Firefox desktop history, open tabs and bookmarks on your iPhone or iPod Touch.".
    I guess where Firefox Home falls short is it doesn't provide username and password support on the iphone or ipad ... ?
