Hi I love Firefox over Chrome! However, one thing that really bugs me that Chrome has over Firefox is that it is a lot more difficult to sign in and sync all my bookmarks, extensions, etc.

With chrome, all I need is my email address and password, and BAM everything is synced. With firefox, however, I need the same info, PLUS a long key that I am not willing to memorize!

I hope you guys can implement a simpler solution. I know you guys do it as a security measure, but maybe it can be simplified with a security question?

Thanks guys keep it up, I would like to use Firefox mobile someday too!

You only need to log into Sync when each device is initially set up, after that the system is designed to automatically connect to the servers as needed. Plus, the Sync Key is saved with your passwords under the chrome://weave domain.Other than making a backup of that "key" there's no need to remember it for daily use.
