Why doesn't Firefox Sync include favicons?

Mozilla are you planning to support favicons for Firefox Sync?

It's in the roadmap and almost ready to be launched: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sync/FxSync/FaviconSync

  • Why doesn't Firefox Sync work in my home network, but at work?

    Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but e.g. if I'm at my office.
    The internet connection at my home is fine, I can surf the web with that very Firefox on both IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. is also working. Logging in to accounts.firefox.com also works, as does connecting Firefox to the Sync account. Only the process of syncing itself fails. On my desktop computer at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that sync runs on that server, so apparently the network path between my computer and that server is free.
    Upon investigation with Wireshark, I see the successful TLS handshake, then some packets from the client that are not answered and after some time the server closes the connection (Encrypted Alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between client and server. I attach a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between server and client (The image upload here didn't work so I put it on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).
    To exclude a possible misconfiguration or bad add-on, I created a clean new Firefox profile and connected it to my Firefox account, but this shows exactly the same problems.
    Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone does sync in my home network.
    Below, I will link two log files, one successful sync (office network) and one failed sync (home network):
    Sync @ office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
    Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

    Any chance you are on a DS-Lite network at home? If so, what's your ISP? The home network symptoms look a little like https://bugzil.la/1118958

  • Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

    For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

    Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
    So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
    Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
    If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

  • HT1766 Why doesn't Overdrive sync my iPhone to iPad?

    Why doesn't Overdrive sync to my iPhone and iPad? 

    Can you be a little more explicit about what you are trying to do, and what happens when you try? As stated, that isn't much to go on.

  • Why doesn't Firefox see that I have Flash loaded on my computer?

    I have Flash 10.1.102.64 loaded on my computer and I can watch youtube videos on Windows IE. I just loaded Firefox 3.0.5 and when I try to watch a youtube video, it tells me I need to install Flash. Why doesn't it see Flash? Do I need to do something first?

    Is "Allow Plugins" checked?
    If it is, follow the illustrated instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084 to do a complete "clean install".

  • Why doesn't Firefox have an ADM/ADMX GPO file?

    I've been using Firefox for years, and it's always been my favorite browser. But working in our environment we push Firefox to our users, but we have no control of the software. Things we want to do are; allow pop-ups, disable auto-update, enable certain plug-ins and a few other settings we want configured.
    Why is this never tackled by the Firefox development group? I've seen 3rd party ADM\ADMX but they only last for a version and won't work again.
    Why won't Firefox do this for the business users? It's been brought up time and again.

    hello jlindemann25, discussion and support about enterprise deployment is out of the scope of this forum unfortunately. you'll get a better response if you take this issue to the Enterprise User Working Group mailinglist.

  • Why won't Firefox Sync add data to a new profile?

    I have been following the advice on [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=sync this] article. It has told me to make a new profile and set up my Sync account on that profile.
    I have done all of this, and I have followed all of the steps correctly. However, the new profile will not download all of my data from the server. Why is this?
    I am using the latest nightly of Firefox 4 (2011-01-08).

    Thanks but perhaps I didn't explain the problem well.
    I was on the Google page, and put in the item I was searching for, clicked search and got a page or many pages of potential sites that would fit my query. But if I clicked on one of the sites, I couldn't click back to the Google page, the back arrow was gray. It doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally. Guess it's just a problem with some sites.

  • Why doesn't Firefox completely uninstall ?

    Why does Firefox 22 on a Mac Os not completely uninstall? when I remove the application on the Mac by dragging the application to the garbage and then reinstall, my book marks are still present. Why? All applications should completely uninstall but Firefox does not and it has done this since version 13.
    I am aware of the procedure to manual remove the files but this doesn't make sense as if you can manually remove files it should be automated.

    Firefox stores your user data and settings (called your ''profile'') in a separate location from the program. Mac doesn't provide an easy way to remove your profile but you can do it manually. See these articles for details:
    * [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
    *[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

  • Why doesn't Wifi Sync work after updating ITUNE?

    Hello, I updated my Itune to 11.1.4.62 version.
    After updating, WIFI sync doesn't work anymore. I have to connect the cable to my laptop to sync it. Before this upgrade it was working fine.
    Now, I have Iphone 5. I run Windows 7.
    I did all the recommended trouble shooting.
    I disconnected the model and router and reconnected again.
    On Summary page the Wifi Sync is CHECKED
    I ran the diagnostic, but obviously it says iphone is not detected.
    I reseted my iphone.
    It still doesn't work.
    How can I solve this matter and why does Apple have so many irrtating problems like this?

    The passcode screen shows as usual but when I enter the passcode it says the passcode is invalid. This is the same passcode I have had for over a year, so I am sure I entered it correctly.  I stopped trying before the phone was disabled though.
    I've seen other similar posts but they mostly say connect it to my computer, start itunes, then restore. I haven't synced with itunes in a long time, not sure restoring it would be a good idea.  I back up to iCloud much more frequently but can't remember for sure when I last did that either.  I'm afraid of losing stuff in the process of restoring it.

  • Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

    1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

    One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

  • Why doesn't firefox have a "print" button in the tool bar and why can't I add attachments to my emails MOST of the time. It only works rarely?? Frustrating!

    I cannot find an add on as a print button for the firefox toolbar. Almost every time I want to print, I have to copy and then open a document and paste it there to be able to print it.
    Also, each time I want to add an attachment to an email, it rarely lets me. I have to open internet explorer and go through my email that way to be able to add attachments.

    1. File > Print <br />
    2. There is a '''Print''' button in the Customize palette for the Toolbars. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
    Considering that Firefox doesn't do email, that problem is probably caused by your webmail portal software not being totally compatible with Firefox. If you tell which webmail service you use maybe another user who is familiar with that service can help you.

  • Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?

    I want a new tab ope for each app. I am using so I can just click on the tab, and continue to work on that app. I "Don't" want to use the "History" and then wait for it to "Reload" that tab!! I want my tabs all open until I close them. Also, why isn't there an"X" in the current tba to be able to close it??

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.<br />
    That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.<br />
    For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu.<br />
    Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
    Some extensions that you can look at:
    * Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/62581
    * Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
    * Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

  • Why doesn't FIREFOX provide guidance for reverting back to 3.6.17?

    Don't like Firefox 4, want to revert back to what I previously had, but I'm not technically "adept." Why aren't we provided with simple, accurate step-by-step directions from FIREFOX on how to revert?

    Hi Stan,
    Firefox 4's lack of support for Billeo is our fault. While Billeo for Firefox 4 on Windows is ready for download from www.billeo.com, we're still working on the Mac version.
    We apologize for the delay. Please email [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]] and let us know you want to be notified as soon as our Browser App is ready for FF4 on Mac.
    Thanks and regards,
    The Billeo Support Team
