Ubuntu

Firefox sync

Asked by Larry D Buege

I have 2 PC's running Windows 7 and both have Firefox as the default browser. I have created an account with Firefox and can log into my account on either PC with the same credentials. I have also ser up sync and was hoping to use this to update all of my Firefox settings in LLOS 5. I seem to recall being able to do this in LLOS 4.8. However when I try to login to my Firefox account using the same credentials, I get "unknown account". I have tried this many times and continue to get the error. Both versions of LLOS use Ubuntu as the base OS,

Linux Lite isn't supported by the Ubuntu community or Canonical in any way. Linux Lite's support community is entirely separate from Ubuntu's.

I suggest you post on the Linux Lite forum here:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php

None of the "Ubuntu based" distributions are supported here. There are distribution agnostic forums on the Web but this isn't one of them.

It's the rule of the forum here. Your disappointment is irrelevant. If you post on the Linux Lite forum where your distribution is supported then you may get a reply. I even went the extra yard and got you the URL to save you searching.

I mentioned that I already posted there. I also posted on Mozilla's
support forum and have heard noth from them either.
