Where can I enter my Firefox sync recovery key?

hello, you could try this "hack" to get a new firefox version to connect to an old sync account:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere in that page & create a new string preference named '''services.sync.username'''with a value like '''fake'''.
afterwards you should be able to connect to the old account through the firefox options > sync panel. if this worked and you could import your data successfully, please migrate to the new sync afterwards: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

  • Firefox Sync recovery key is lost. No solution on the net works. Help

    I have a FF sync account. I purchased a tablet. I want to sync the tablet. During the process I am asked to provide a recovery key which I do not have.
    Every solution I find on the Internet is either two years old or the steps (Tools/Options/Synch/Manage Account) are no longer valid as Manage Account is not under Sync any longer.
    I either need to find my recovery key, delete the account so I can get a new key, or stop wasting my time and take this process to a different browser.
    Can anyone help without pointing to the same web pages I've been to countless times?

    Forget it. I created a new account. Let my old junk clog up the system.

  • How to obtain Sync Recovery Key from Android Firefox?

    Desktop sync is broken and instructs to obtain "Your Recovery Key" from a working device. Only working device is Android Firefox. What is the magic incantation to get Firefox (v21 beta) on Android to reveal the needed sync Recovery Key?

    You can use:
    *Android OS > Settings > Accounts > Firefox Sync > Pair a new Device
    This will give you a 12-character pairing key the you can enter in the desktop computer.
    You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

  • TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

    where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

    Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

  • I can't enter the firefox key from my old computer.

    I just bought a new computer and I have a Firefox key from my old computer. How do I enter it? (This is a very basic question and I'm quite surprised that it's not easier to set up. Thanks)

    Is it the key to your Sync account?
    This article has the steps for accessing a Sync account using that key (sometimes called the recovery key): [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]] (skip down to the "Add another computer" section). Does that work?

  • I can't sign into Firefox Sync on my Android phone, but I can sign in on the computer. On the mobile device it says that the password/user name is wrong.

    I am unable to sign into Firefox Sync on my Samsung Galaxy S4, using the exact same password and user name that I successfully sign in on the desktop computer. On the mobile device, I get a message stating that either the user name or password is incorrect. I want to be able to sync Firefox on the computer with Firefox on the phone, especially for the bookmarks, but I'm unable to do so even following the directions in the How-To video.

    Hi pitbulllady
    I would suggest a) resetting the password on desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information#w_iaove-forgotten-my-sync-password-ae-how-do-i-reset-it_2 and then b) trying again on your Android phone or tablet
    If the above doesn't help and since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:
    # What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
    # What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
    # What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! including the steps in the video you followed)
    Cheers!

  • Where can I download the Firefox 64bits version Dutch (win 7)

    I use Firefox 8 and every where on the Dutch websites I can read that this version is in 32bits and 64 bits, so with my version I cannot see which version I use, so where can I download the real 64bit version in Dutch ofcouse from Firefox. I don't use e-mail on my PC, so the whole Mozilla is for my no solution.

    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • Can I sign into Firefox sync on new computer and retrieve bookmarks even if old hard drive is destroyed?

    My computer crashed & the hard drive's information cannot be retrieved. When I get a new hard drive put into this computer, can I simply download Firefox, sign into sync & automatically retrieve my old bookmarks? Do I need to alter any account sync settings before doing this?

    Did you go through the steps at [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]? If not, you are using the old version of sync and are out of luck. If you did, you are on the new version and you have a good chance of being able to log in and download your data.

  • Can't Login to Firefox Sync on my Computer but I can Login in Firefox Home on my iPhone

    I had Firefox 4 beta installed along side firefox 3.6 before firefox 4 was released. After firefox 4 was released, I uninstalled the beta (ensuring not to delete my prefrences when uninstalling).
    Then I started up firefox 3.6 and I noticed that all my settings had vanished (but the addons were still there) and I was logged out of firefox sync. So with the confidence in mind that I had all my settings backed up to the firefox sync server, I attempted loging into firefox sync.
    It accepted my User Name and Password entries but for some strange reason, it refused to accept my key entry; which was in the older versions called the secret phrase entry (so I still had my secret phrase as the key). Attempted loggin into the latest version of FirefoxSync home on my iPhone and it worked as expected, plus it showed the correct number of bookmarks and history infos.
    Why isn't firefox sync accepting my sync key, aka secret phrase? I 99% doubt this but could it be getting blocked by some entries in my "host" file as I recall adding tonnes of adblocking entries to it; preventing my computer from wasting bandwidth loading them.
    BTW I attempted loggin into this firefox sync site and it kept showing me that it couldn't log me in :( Or is the site not meant for viewing what's stored on the server?

  • Can't generate a new 2FA recovery key

    I'm trying to create a new recovery key and each time I press the activate button I just get taken to an error page.
    http://i.imgur.com/5hc4hCt.png
    Called Apple support and they don't know what's going on. I'm not even sure they really understood what I was saying, I just got the standard "have you tried turning it off and on again".
    Any ideas where to go from here? I'm going to have to disable 2FA if I can't get a new recovery key.

    Youshould set these fields in order to generate a new spool order:
      itcpo-tdnewid = 'X'.
      itcpo-tddataset = 'test'.
      itcpo-tddelete = space. "'X'.
      itcpo-tdpreview = space.
      itcpo-tdimmed = space.
