Why firefox sync does not restore password after a sync ?

I work on 2 computers, one at home and one at work.
I created firefox account from home.
Each time when at work I configure sync then click "I don't have device with me" + enter my firefox sync key.
Then I browse many websites at work + enter passwords + launch "synchronize now".
Then the following day I come back at work + click "I don't have device with me" + enter my firefox sync key. + launch "synchronize now" => All bookmarks are restored but not passwords (no password textboxes and login textboxes are filled automatically).
Why?
Thanks

<blockquote>
Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5 for Windows. After update from 33.1.1 Sync stops working, does not automatically login (Reconnect to Sync is showed instead of the Sync account name). Reconnecting to sync only works for the current session (restarting Firefox disables auto login). No error logs on wave\logs directory.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.

  • ITunes does not recognize password after removal of corrupt backup file

    I removed a corrupt backup file of my iPhone 4 from iTunes and now it does not recognize my password anymore. The password is correct, as I wrote it down when I set it up and have used it before. Any thoughts? This must be some kind of flaw in iTunes or iOS for iPhone.
    iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect.  The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot.  This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
    BTW, I do have other choices.  I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
    Cheers,

  • Why weblogic server does not activate changes after bounce?

    Hi All,
    We are working with weblogic server 10.
    When ever changes are made in console, saved and activated , everthing seems fine.
    Once the server is bounced , last change which was made before bounce does not reflect in the console. All the changes before the last change looks good. Can someone please guide me in this?

    Your changes should be written into your domain's config directory tree ( config/jdbc would hold the various jdbc pool definitions ).
    Does your host / OS have some sort of delayed disk write?
    Also, when you activate your change in the console, you should be able to see the changes in the config directory's files on the admin server's host

  • Why "firefox -help" does not show "-profile" option though it is supported

    I was trying to open a profile on another hard disk partiton on multiboot machine. I was trying to fild the option with firefox -help. But there was no mention of opening a profile by specifying path to profile. I had to dig out this link:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Starting_Firefox_or_Thunderbird_with_a_specified_profile
    and the method is specified under "Bypassing the Profile Manager" section. Why is this not documented. are there any issues in using this method.
    I am using Firefox version 23

    Per one of the main Firefox developers in many Bug reports related to "Profiles" and the Profile Manager, expecially concerning Requests for Enhancement:
    ''' "The profile manager is not designed for "simple home users", who should normally never see it." '''
    '''" Public opinion doesn't really matter, it's a design decision that has been made." '''
    Thus many of the features of "playing with" Profiles isn't ducumented as well here at SUMO as you might find in the non-official MozillaZine KnowledgeBase and in their support fora. If you look carefully at the MozillaZine KB you'll find much documentation for older versions of Firefox and from long before this forum was started in 2008 ''(or was it 2007 ?)''.
    Please see this thread - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2249039 - and also view the 3 threads that I hyperlinked at the end of that article. There's a wealth of direct user suggestions contained in those four MozillaZine Builds support threads regarding "playing with" Profiles.

  • HT1212 I have done the steps under the alternatively and it will does not restore and after a few minutes goes back to the page that the ipod is disabled page.  Now how can I get past this?

    Need help resetting ipod touch?  I have followed all the directions and still it goes back to ipod is disabled connect to iTunes.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Firefox download does not start, even after multiple reloads.

    On a Windows 7 laptop (HP) that's a year and a half old, Firefox refuses to download, despite multiple refreshes of the website. This CAN'T be the only time this has ever happened in the whole history of the internet. I know, I was there when mozilla was a beta test.

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

    After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
    I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

    i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
    <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
    screenX="4"
    screenY="4"
    width="1008"
    height="461"
    sizemode="Normal" />
    i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

    Same thing happens when i click restart.
    No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

    Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
    You can see the crash reports in this folder:
    "C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
    See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

    Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
    I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
    Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
    I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
    I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
    Thanks.

    Hi moose53,
    Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

    See if this fixes things.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
