Where is documentation on How to Use Firefox sync?

I can find info on how to setup Firefox Sync. I can find NO INFORMATION on how to use it.

Hello,
First, you are using an outdated and insecure version of Firefox. It is highly recommended that you update it:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
Or download a fresh copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* (if you need a different localization): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Once you update, don't these articles contain the information you need?
* [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
* [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
* [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
* [[How do I choose what types of information to sync on Firefox?]]
* [[Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips]]
What is it you are trying to do?

How secure is Firefox Sync on Android

First, let me summarize how I understand the current security concept of Firefox4Linux, as some of the documents I read may be old:
L1) During sync setup Firefox4Linux creates recovery key, encrypt all passwords, bookmarks, ... using this recovery key and upload them to the server[1].
L2) Passwords are encrypted only by using the recovery key, (not by master password)[2].
L3) When pairing J-PAKE (Password Authenticated Key Exchange by Juggling) is used to securely transfer the recovery key[3].
L4) On Firefox4Linux master password is used to encrypt the Recovery Key. Based on my own observation as it is not possible to view Recovery Key without entering the master password at least once.
This all seems to me reasonably secure and there should be no leakage of recovery key without compromising Master password. Now regarding my findings for Firefox4Android:
A1) Firefox4Android stops syncing passwords when master password is used[4].
A2) Based on my observations Firefox4Android continue to sync bookmarks, tabs, ... even when it is still asking for master password and I am not providing it.
A3) Based on A1 and A2 it looks like that, recovery key is not encrypted using master password.
A4) Based on A3 anybody who gets physical access to the Android device, can get recovery key, setup synchronization on PC and obtain all the passwords!
Please let me know, if I missed something. As it looks to me, using synchronization on Firefox4Android is not secure even if you use Master Password.
Currently I see possible workaround for this issue:
1) Disable master password on Firefox4Android
2) Setup synchronization
3) Let passwords, bookmarks, synchronize
4) Disable synchronization (deleting synchronization account should delete recovery key)
5) Enable master password
Only security issue with this workaround may be, that recovery key may be readable from the NAND flash for a while, because of the wear-leveling techniques. Possible workaround for this, would be generating new recovery key, after performing each synchronization with Android.

I would need a help, how to use Firefox Sync safely on Android devices, without that crazy workaround. I believe I am not the only person having this problem and somebody has find out something more straight forward.

Where I can find documentations on how to use MyComponse API ?

Where I can find documentation on how to use MyComponse API ?
Any example ?
Thanks

not 100% sure at which point the callout to BEFOREPROCESSCOMPOSE is done, but during the process logs phase, the data in the CVR$ tables is copied into the clg$ tables, and the cvr$ table dml flags cleared
unles the query is very complex/long running why not join the clg$ tables (only have the data that has changed, so smaller than the cvr$ tables, to your base tables for determining if relevant within the MyCompose needCompose method?
an example from one of our MyCompose classes is
public int needCompose(Connection conn, String clientid) throws Throwable{
boolean baseDirty = false;
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = null;
int rowCount = 0;
int fetchCount = 0;
ResultSet rows;
// log user
// sql = "INSERT INTO qpub_log (TIMESTMP,message) "
// + " values (sysdate, '" + clientid + " assd' )";
// rowCount += st.executeUpdate(sql);
// need to compose if there are any relevant changes to assessment details FOR
// TIR / SOLO assessments
// Inspection history checklists
// PIJ marking sheets
// INSSI
// Risk Assessment)
// also changes to (in case of underlying alterations causing data to be withdrawn)
// STATUS_LOGS
// ROLE_ASSGNTS
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "ASSESSMENT_DETAILS")){
return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.YES;
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "STATUS_LOGS")){
sql = "SELECT count(clg.context_key) "

rows.next();

if (fetchCount != 0) {

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

Add another computer
Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
Enter your account email address
Enter your password
Enter your Recovery Key
Then click Next
You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

Can anyone help?

Is there any documentation on how to use JDBC in ALBPM?

I'm trying to connect to a DB using DriverManager class.
1) I've defined an externalResource of type SQL Database.
2) When I execute the following code:
//externalResourceURL is the URL of the SQL Database external resource created in 1), same for user and password
con as java.sql.Connection = DriverManager.getConnection(arg1=externalResourceURL, arg2=user, arg3=password)
3) I get the following error: This driver is locked for use with embedded applications.
Is there any tutorial or documentation on how to use JDBC in ALBPM?
Thanks in advance

I don't know of any documentation off hand... but what are you trying to do? I haven't needed to to make a connection using the DriverClass....
If you aren't using dynamicSQL... you can just catalog the database, and make direct sql calls (not recommended)... but if you catalog it, then just an INSERT command works... or UPDATE... etc
logMessage "Starting insert."
INSERT INTO MYTABLE(id, name) VALUES ("2", "kevin");
logMessage "Finished insert."Check out the studio help under SQL Keywords for more info on that...

Where to locate and how to use the filter thershould to binarized image

Good morning friends. I am using
Labview with VDM and let me know where to locate and how to use the
filter thershould. Also that parameters used to binarized image captured
via webcam and display it in black and white.
Thank you very
much.

Is the image that you are getting a RGB one? Use color plane extraction and then use a binary threshold to convert it into a binary image. You can also directly use a color threshold and convert a rgb (color) image to a binary image.

I have no idea how to use Firefox. I used to have Internet Explorer 7 but am unable to connect to it anymore. How do I use Firefox? I know how to use a computer, somewhat, but am not as savy as I'd like to be. I will appreciate your help.

You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.

It's impossible to make certain modification to the content on your iPod if it is not connected to a computer. In fact, just about the only thing you can do from the iPod is rate your music.
If you want complete control, just tell the iPod to manage music manually and you can move things in and delete them as you please.
The reason the iPod works like this is pretty simple, Apple figures that allowing the user to delete music from the iPod all willy-nilly would make the iPod more complex, and therefore more confusing.
But honestly, do you need to delete the podcasts from your iPod RIGHT AFTER you've listened to them? What's the deal with the urgent need to make more space? Unless you're doing transfers from a camera (and I seriously doubt you are) you can just delete them the next time you plug the iPod into your computer.

I am a new Mac user and I bought Pages and have no Idea where it is or how to use it?

I am a new Mac user and I bought the Pages APP and have no Idea where it is or how to use it? If I go into Iwork and click Pages it shows 3 documents that I have creates. THe only option I have is to download it. Then If I click it it opend in an app called Preview.
It is in me apps folder in Itunes. I expected it to be an app in my computer.

Pages for IOS and Pages for OSX are 2 different programs, buying one doesn't get you the other, go to the App Store (not iTunes) on your Mac and buy it.

Can I use Firefox Sync on a public computer, as I did with Xmarks?

I am going to miss Xmarks. How can I use Firefox Sync when I go to an internet cafe?

Sync doesn't allow this because the data is encrypted by the client — in order to provide web access we'd need to be able to read your data (or hand it over to the FBI!) and we don't want to do that.

Use Firefox Sync to store bookmarks in the cloud?

Can I setup Firefox Sync even if I only have one device? If so, can I use Firefox Sync to backup my bookmarks to the cloud (instead of using a third-party extension?) I'm guessing that Sync stores bookmarks in the cloud because how else would it be able to merge bookmarks with another device (e.g., a phone)?

Sync does indeed store the data you choose to Sync in the cloud.
Because you need to retain a lengthy unique code in order to recover that data from a different installation of Firefox, many users find it not to be a good method of backup because that Recovery Key was lost in a hard drive crash or reformat. Make sure you store the key in a safe location outside of your computer along with your username and password.
If you end up choosing to use a different cloud backup service such as Crashplan or Carbonite, you can point it to your bookmarkbackups folder so you have a number of files for potential recovery. To get the full path to that hidden folder, the easiest way is to access it from within Firefox.
You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Double-click bookmarkbackups. You should see numerous files that are date and time coded. You can click after the folder name in the address bar to select and copy the path. (This is based on Windows 7, but I assume Windows 8.1 is similar from the desktop side.)

Has anyone used Firefox Sync and Xmarks at the same time?

Firefox is my primary desktop browser. On my desktops, I use Xmarks because I use Firefox, IE and Chrome. It enables me to keep my bookmarks synced across browsers as well as use home/work profiles, etc. However, I'd like to use Firefox Sync so I can sync the bookmarks to my smartphone. Has anyone successfully tried this? I thought I'd ask before trying it myself just in case. Thanks!

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.
