Keazen oplossing

It can take some time before the first sync has finished.

You can check out these about: pages via the location bar:

  • about:sync-log
  • about:sync-progress
  • about:sync-tabs

Hi cor-el and thank you for hide my information didn't realize was public forum.

I am not sure exactly what happen, but when i logged into sync i left it default what to sync. After a long time maybe 30 minutes and sync circle arrows never budge i re-boot both machines and launched Firefox both machines and verify sync was logged in. Waited some time still nothing. Just saw your email. About:sync-log was a weird message (sorry not remember) but i get feeling not started yet was sitting on win8 machine. Tried about sync progress and brought up embedded image that was successful.

I went to xp machine 2 things happened not sure which order but think as follows: 1. Tried about:sync-progress 2. Dialog pop up for sync to ask what i wanted synced.. I already specify that durning initial setup as i initially created sync account here.

Now syncing is working and bookmarks starting to appear on win8 machine. There is a ton of data maybe some 10 yrs of bookmarks. I know for sure more than 6 or 7.

I'll keep ticket open just incase quick tab things don't appear of have problem with some of the syncing. Will verify everything tomorrow sometime and post a new update.

I have a history of design networks and software quality assurance / build engineer / and some api development. This experience was pretty bumpy but im used to being in the loop too with a lot more detail :)

Thank you again for all the help

Manually launching about:sync-progress, fixed the issue of since not starting.
