How to Correctly Setup Firefox Sync #630

Open Grogglex opened 7 years ago

Grogglex commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

I'm sure there's an earlier issue about this but I can't seem to find it. I'm having an issue wherein every time I restart Firefox it disconnects my sync. I thought I setup my KeePass before syncing and I always ensure KeePass is running before I start Firefox.

So I'm wondering what is the proper procedure for having Firefox Sync work across devices with KeePass (on Windows and Linux). Is it too late to fix this? Do I need to delete my sync account and start afresh? Thanks!

I do not experience this. I'm still connected with Firefox Sync after quitting. What versions are you using?

Can you explain how you set up your sync? What operating systems are you synching with? Windows and Linux?-- Sent from Yandex.Mail for mobile5:35 PM, June 13, 2017, Matthew Mahnke notifications@github.com:I do not experience this. I'm still connected with Firefox Sync after quitting.

To setup Firefox Sync, I simply signed in. I didn't do anything special. However, I did notice that there was a yellow warning/error message (which I didn't read, probably something about needing to sign-in again since I was signed out) after initiallly setting up FF Sync; then I signed in again and everthing's working without issue.

I believe my FF Sync was synced with Windows hosts at one point, but it's Linux only now (i.e., one computer).

Hi i have the same problem, i unchecked the internal firefox password sync and using keepass, i have my firefox sync credentials saved in keepass, but i dont know which url to use for the credentials since firefox sync is an offline url like : about:accounts?action=reauth&entrypoint=menupanel and there is no working detection for it. is this maybe the problem?

Update: I have been disconnected yesterday, and thus had to reconnect. My password was not auto-filled either. But that may have to do with the set URL even though it's set to about:accounts?
