Syncing Firefox and Eudora

I am having issues with syncing items in a mobile user's Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profile and a user's Document/Eudora Folder.
The user gets sync errors and when I check the file on the server, they are marked as Write Only for the owner, group and everyone.
Typical files are for Firefox: cert8.db, compatibility.ini, webappsstore.sqlite, key3.db, search.sqlite.
If I try to propagate permissions (through Server Admin) on the user's home on the server, it will not change these permissions. I have to change each file's permissions individually. Then the sync error goes away.
Any ideas? Are these files getting corrupt or ??
Clients are 10.5.7 and server is 10.5.8. Had the problem on 10.5.7 server too.
Thanks.

There's no way to do it with firefox because there is no firefox web browser for the iPad.
As to exporting/importing tabs and bookmarks from firefox to mercury, you'd need to dig into how mercury works to see if they allow or support that.
You may want to experiment, because I'm not sure if the iPad has the system resources to maintain 30-60 open tabs on any browser

Since the 4.0.1 update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

G'day again, I've also lost the option of a 'Stop loading' or 'Refresh' button.

Can't sync Firefox v35 bookmarks on Windows 7 and Android 2.3.5 phone

I can't get my Windows 7 PC Firefox to Sync bookmarks with my Motorola Droid X2 phone after hours of trying. Sync has worked between these 2 devices for many months. I can't tell when it stopped working but for sure changes I made 4 hours ago aren't being sync'd right. Details:
Windows 7 PC, Firefox 35.0.1, Tools, Options, Sync, Manage, and see "Manage account", "You are signed in as <my email>". SO ALL LOOKS GOOD. Tools, Sync Now, just to be sure (I've done this several times).
Motorola Droid X2 smartphone (Android 2.3.5, ARMV7), Settings (the phone, not Firefox), Accounts, click on the Firefox icon and my email address and "Firefox_fxaccount", Configure Sync, see "Signed in as <my email>" and "Sync: enabled" and checkmarks on Bookmarks and Passwords. Back one screen to where I see "Sync Firefox", a green checkbox, and "1/29/2015 2:19 pm" (earlier today). Uncheck the box. Re-check the box. See "1/29/15 2:23 pm" (now). SO ALL LOOKS GOOD. Start Firefox version 35.0, Bookmarks, Desktop Bookmarks, Bookmarks Menu, drill down to changes made 4 hours ago, MISSING. And there are still old bookmarks here that I deleted on my PC 4 hours ago.
I have read all I can online, "old vs new Sync", restarted both the PC and phone, read about Android 2.2 and ARMV6 having support dropped this month (but I am 2.3 and ARMV7), etc. etc. etc.
Help!
Update: I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (Android 4.4.2) running Firefox 35.0 and it works fine. Its bookmarks in the problem bookmark folder agree with the PC as desired. So the problem seems to be only with the phone.
Update: Problem solved. The sync finally happened on my phone after 6 hours! I did nothing to initiate it and just finally noticed it had happened. I was monitoring https://status.services.mozilla.com/ during this whole process and the service was fine. For some reason Sync took 6 hours to make it to my phone.

My Laptop with Synced Firefox crashed and i had to do a fresh install, how can i retrieve all the synced data from the Mozilla Servers

I had set up Firefox sync on my Windows 7 Laptop which crashed and I had to reinstall windows. I used to be able to share content with my Firefox synced Android too. Is there a way i can retrieve the synced data from the Mozilla servers? I tried to set up sync on my new installation on a Mac 10.6 but when i click on Set-up Sync it asks me:
# Set-up new sync account (i already have one)
# I already have a sync account
When i select the second option it tells me to Add a device. I went in the "Sync Options" and tried the replace all data on this computer with my sync data, but nothing happened. When i try to connect from my Android it also asks me to add a device with the 3 boxes with letters in them.
So in both the cases it is asking me to "Add a device" but i cannot connect to my sync account in either case to sync data from there

Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
P.S.
If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

Synced firefox, saved firefix sync key and made format to my computer, now I can't get it synced with formated computer - what can I do to get my passwords and bookmarks back?

I synced my firefox and made format to my computer. I was hoping I can sync formated computer with my user. I even saved "firefox sync key". But now I can only make new sync and can' get my old passwords and bookmarks back. Is there any way i could get my passwords and bookmarks back?

Add that computer to the Sync service as a new device.

After syncing Firefox with my Android phone, Google calendar is not functional. It hangs on "Loading" and will not allow updates or edits. Calendar works in IE, just not Firefox on any computer. Clearing cookies and cache no help.

I synced Firefox with my Droid Razr Maxx Firefox. Now Google Calendar hangs on "Loading" and will not function. Clearing cache and cookies does not help. Works the same on any computer Firefox. But Gmail works fine and Calendar is okay under other browsers.

I lost my sync key and I don't have it; how can I access those settings? I don't find any contact us link in firefox sync site.

my netbook has broken in an accident and data on it couldn't be recovered. I have used firefox sync before this on my that netbook. Now I buy a new netbook but when I want to setup firefox sync I don't know sync key and consequently I can't access those data.
I want to know how can I solve this problem.
Regards,
Moosavy

I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines.

I forgot my Firefox Sync username and password but have the sync code. Will that allow me to recover my bookmarks? I don't have access to the original computer in sync.

You need at least the email address that you used to create that account to reset the password.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on
[email protected]

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

I set up the the sync add on and had no errors.When I sync now I get"Sync encountered an error while syncing:Firefox sync server maintenance is underway..."I have gotten this mesaage for the last 10 hours.Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup?

I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.

There was a server out last week. see below. now everything works great. thanks for the follow up.

FireFox is refusing to properly sync and I have even deleted my sync account and started over, why is this happening?

Up to a few weeks ago FireFox sync was working as expected, but then version 17 rolled out and I had auto update turned on, so all my PCs updated. Quickly I noticed that Roboform Lite didn't work in the new version so I decided to go back to version 16.0.2 on all my PCs to continue using Roboform. I'm confident this must have had some affect on FIrefox Sync, specifically the add-ons, as the bookmarks and others continued to sync properly.
I've worked on it for 3 days now and after even deleting my sync account and starting from scratch I seem to still be having the same problem. It's weird though, it will begin to sync some of my add-ons, but then stop and refuse to do anymore. I only have about 10 add-ons altogether. Other times it will remove add-ons, which is even more aggravating.
I also reset FireFox on my main computer that I had initially setup sync.
Please help me resolve this.
Mike

I believe this is a bug in the new Firefox. I'm having the same problem, and so are others on this forum. My guess is just to wait till the next update for some one the bugs to be worked out. FFA was updated recently so it could be FFA's fault

Forgot Firefox Sync username and password

I forgot my Firefox sync password and have tried to restore it, but the system keeps telling me there is no account associated with my email address. Is there a way to recover my user name and reset my password?

Cannot sync FireFox bookmarks between Mac and Android

Hi!
I do not succeed in syncing FireFox 29.0 bookmarks between my Mac (10.9.2) and the latest FF for Android on my Android phone (4.2.2)
What I did:
• Made an account on the FF-site, activated account both on Mac and Android.
• In FF prefs, both on Mac and Android, selected bookmarks for syncing.
• Synced FF actively on Mac. Blue wheel takes some time and then seems to be ready.
• Synced FF actively on Android. Both from the FF-account as within FF. States a 'most recent sync' as being done. Seems to be OK too.
• However, on Android, FF, under the tab 'bookmarks' nothing pops up. What do I do wrong?
• Also started up FF in save mode. No difference.
• Deleted my account en signed up again. No difference.
After trying everything, it looks like signing in is the problem... the sync wheel it turning forever...
Thanx!

Sync wheel turning forever there is a bug for this: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006360] and we could use the steps to reproduce this. Can you please provide an example sync log from the continual sync.
Please go to about:sync-log in your desktop connected to the android device or on the mobile device as well.
places.sqlite file may have a uri corrupted in it.
