Never post any personal information because an adware robot could find it, and start sending you all kinds of spam. This includes e-mail, phone, and home information.

Please remove that information from your post.


I called for more help.

OK. I tested the steps you posted above and it works for me.

Are you able to login to Sync via you primary Sync account because this procedure doesn't work unless you are logged on to Sync?

  • Options/Preferences -> Firefox Account

Note that you may have to refresh the Firefox Account page (F5).
