Hello. I'm using the latest version of Firefox (11.0), I'm on Windows Vista 32bit.

When I try to set up Firefox Sync (I already have an account from a previous attempt at using Firefox/Firefox Sync), the "I Have An Account"-button just won't respond. I have no wish to set up a new account using another email address (of course, Firefox Sync tells me the address is already in use when I try to "Create New Account"). What could be the cause of this? Is it my system or is something wrong with the code?

Hi,

Please check if this happens in a new profile. If it's okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).
