Sync now works (finally) but toolbar icons out of order every time: new info at end.

EDIT: THis part was solved; see last post.
Hi, I'm running FF 27.0.1 on a Win 8.1 desktop; and a Vista Laptop; plus the latest FF mobile on my Android phone (S4)
Suddenly, nothing syncs. Now, the Win 8.1 desktop is new. I set it up. I migrated all my settings by pairing with my laptop. All was well. It worked! Suddenly, it just sort of stopped working.
As a test, I created a bookmark for Time Magazine on my Laptop. It does not appear on the desktop nor the phone, no matter how many times that I sync. The desktop, indeed, says it hasn't sync'd since 2-15, even though I keep telling it to sync. I then created a bookmark for a YouTube video on the desktop. That doesn't appear on either of the other devices. I checked the phone--and somehow sync was turned OFF. I turned it back on. And sync'd. No change.
--I unpaired the laptop and went through the pairing sequence again, using the desktop as the master. No change
--I "reset" sync on each machine by choosing to "merge sync" data. No change.
I saw another recent thread on this recommending some file deletions. I'm reluctant to start deleting things without knowing the consequence of what is lost, and also, of course, that solution may not apply to me.
So, any help appreciated.

Ok, I give up....if anyone has any ideas, please advise.
At this point, FF seems to take it as its mission in life to constantly rearrange my toolbar bookmark icons.
I don't know what else I can possibly do.
First, I deleted my sync account entirely. Started again with my new desktop and gradually added my other devices (laptop, tablet, android phone.)
Every time I go to the laptop, things are out of order. I don't much care because that's what used to happen in the past, too. I could never solve it.
But I rearrange things anyway, hoping sync will be right on the desktop. It never is. I wake up the next morning, open the desktop and all the icons are rearranged in random order yet again.
Next, I figured maybe it was the phone causing a problem. I deleted sync account from the phone!
Next, I made sure to rearrange all toolbar icons properly on the desktop and the "reset sync" so that desktop data replaces ALL OTHER DEVICES.
I reestablished a sync account on the phone and let the phone sync. I watched the desktop toolbar icons rearrange themselves out of order as I watched.
I give up. What can be done about this problem? THere's not much point having a toolbar of bookmarks if a 5-7 of them are always (the same 5-7, btw...if that's significant) scattered about at random with no alphabetical order and I can never find them.
This has been a long standing problem. Now that it is screwing up my desktop constantly, I just am ready to throw it through the window.

Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alpha order every time I reboot Firefox. Can I do anything to get sync to maintain the order I have arranged them in? Xmars never changed my specified order

Firefox 3.6.11
Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alphabetical order.
Every time I reorganize them the way I want. They return to alpha order the next time I bring Firefox up.
Very annoying.
Sync should leave the organization of my bookmarks alone. Only ensure that all bookmarks are present on all machines but do not reorganize for me.
Is there a fix for this?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window

I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.

i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

Deleted Colour Setting in Bridge, but Photoshop wants to Colour Manage every time I open a file.

I installed a Colour Setting in Bridge as per a printer's instructions. After I did this, every time I open something in Ps, It asks if it can colour manage the file and gives a few options. I deleted a Creative Suite Colour Setting from finder Bridge, but Photoshop still generates the popup every time. This interferes with Scripts in Ps and it's very annoying.

Deleting something in Bridge certainly won't help.

Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X.

Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime on Mac ? The present version simply doesn't work. It shows me no "Contacts'. Infact once I click Next after I login, nothing at all happens. The video works fine though, I can see ,myself. But I have used Facetime a couple of times in the past from this same MAC.
Hence I wanna know if there's a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime. Infact it doesn't even allow me to uninstall Facetime , every time I try it says, 'your Mac OS X needs Facetime'. PLEASE HELP !!!

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.
