I am trying to set up my Firefox iphone app and need to enable sync on my macbook (running Lion); however, while trying to save the key, the one that we are warned is not recoverable, FF quit 'unexpectedly' and my key is now lost in cyberspace. I cannot login because I don't have the key, but my account is half made so cannot re- use my email address to start again. I am stuck in my own version of Catch 22.

Hi Erica,

If your Macbook is properly configured already you can access Preferences and then Sync tab. From there, click on the Manage Account drop down and select Recovery Key.
