Title: Firefox Sync Suck?
Post by: Diver4242 on October 12, 2012, 10:01:38 AM

I can't get Firefox Sync working between my N7 and laptop (Sony Vaio Win 7). I get it set up on the N7 and see the codes. Then on the laptop, I enter the codes, which causes then N7 to go into waiting for other device mode, so it sees something. Then on the laptop it takes me to the account screen and when I press 'I have an account' it does nothing. If I press 'setup a new account' it opens the screen, takes the info, and just goes away. I have FF 16.01 and just got the new FF beta push on my N7, so I'm up to date. I've been trying it since I got the N7.

Each browser has its short comings when it comes to mobile. Bookmarks out of order, no flash etc. I use Chrome unless I need Flash. In that case I use Puffin.

Well all of my bookmarks and other stuff are in Firefox and that's what I use/know, and in order to get this function I'd have to switch to Chrome on all my machines (laptop, etc) so no thanks!

I made the change to chrome because of the efficient sync.  Haven't looked back.
