There is no "manage account" option for sync on any of my devices, and I can't set up any new sync devices. How do I fix this?
Since none of my devices have a "manage account" selection under Sync (or Sync set up), there's no way to get or reset my recovery key. I only see "Set up Firefox sync" and "Pair a device". Everything else leads to a dead end without access to a recovery key or being able to manage the account.

Do you still have the PC / Device where you originally sey up Sync?
Hi imaigar
You first need to set up a sync account to be able to manage that account.
If you have ever used Sync before then you need to use the second button "I have an account". Otherwise you need to create a new Sync account via the first button.
If Sync is already set up on another computer then you can use the 12-character code to pair a new device and enter the code on the other computer.
Both devices need to be online at the same time if you want to pair a device with the (3x4) 12-character code.
Sync needs to be set up and working on at least one (desktop) computer, so you can enter the 12-character code, provided by the device (computer) that you want to pair, in three fields to pair a device on the computer that has a working Sync setup.
Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
- open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
- click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
- click "I Have an Account" : Connect
- click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key)
Mozilla, you are making this more difficult but making it cyclic it keeps going back without resolving the issue here. I have a Desktop which is the mail account for Firefox, when I try to ad a device it asks for the recovery key which does not show on the "setup sync" GUI at all. whats the issue here ?
When Set Up Sync shows in the menu, it means that Sync isn't set up on that computer. You need to retrieve the Recovery Key from a computer where Sync is already set up or use the Pairing feature to set up Sync.
I have the key and copied from my email which I sent from the desktop, when I enter the password and username (from the Mozilla password manager), and key it says "invalid username or password.
Can you log in to your Sync account?
- https://services.mozilla.com/ Firefox Sync » Home
- https://account.services.mozilla.com/
The point of Sync is to help users retrieve their data in case something happens to their device. As it stands, Sync is completely useless unless you already have something paired. AND at least one previously synced device still paired and able to sync.
Since the account is password protected and the connection is encrypted, there is no need to encrypt the data with the key as well. If you are really paranoid, then okay, have a hidden key saved to a device (i.e. PC), but they way it is managed is IMPOSSIBLE to use:
- An user uploads encrypted data from 1 (one) device to server.
- This user resets Firefox (for aurora/nightly, it happens often).
- The user is unable to retrieve data saved on server due to lack of key!
If the purpose is to maintain a backup and/or the same set data for several devices then I'm fairly sure most people would agree that is would be safe to assume that you should be able to get your own data back once uploaded. However, in these types of situations there is no second device to get a recovery key. Even if it is paired, it will lose sync if the settings are set for the primary client to upload and overwrite (i.e. in the case of PC and a mobile devices, PC is primary and overwrites mobile's data, mobile loses sync managment, PC client is reset, POINTLESS and USELESS sync.)
Why can't you have it simple public/private key exchange? Why do you need such a long 12digit code to pair? completely unnecessary when you think about it for a moment
The only options in this situation is to delete the data and start over! But that defeats the purpose of Syncing!
Let me reiterate: the purpose of Sync is to backup your data incase something fails (e.g. browser reset, PC OS reinstall). If you cannot retrieve the data that is backed up unless you have a second device paired, then that method of backup is POINTLESS!
Modifié le par jeois
Syncing is currently about sharing data between multiple devices and isn't meant to be used as a backup device to restore data in case of problems.
For backup you can do this locally like was required before Sync existed.
Look, of course, we can use local profile backup to save the data.
However, the way other applications have it configured, you can also use their sync to share data between computers or devices WITHOUT such a complicated pairing mechanism... so tedious to the point that it is usually USELESS because of scenarios like I just mentioned: 1) You reset your browser on PC. 2) Your mobile (which memory is sketchy anyways) loses sync also (sometimes mine loses it for some reason because of VPN or other connection issues; other times due to updates; other times moving data from card to mobile memory and vice versa)
3) No choice but to delete and start over! No way to access data uploaded. 4) Website for sync only allows you to delete data or reset password. VERY limited function. (e.g.) You can do this by pressing 1 or something sent to an AIM service bot.
What do you do with the data that is on the server? Is it not still useful inormation? I have the password, I have a (supposedly) secure connection through the browser, and I have an e-mail account to verify. Why must I go pair another device only to find my data has already been deleted? (recovery key mechanism is misleading!)
This is ridiculous, and to be honest, I find your answer disrespectful because you're obviously being condescending by giving me links to profile backup... (I've been using local backups for decades, thanks, but I don't need those links. ) I'm not asking whether or not we can save the data locally. I'm asking why is the data on the server USELESS unless one of our devices stays synced (which hasn't been difficult until lately for some odd reason).
If you want to make things difficult, then why not manually sync the data between the various devices too? Frankly, it seems like the only sure way to handle these situations because of the way Mozilla decided to maintain the SYNC configuration. Just because you CAN use it a certain way, doesn't mean there isn't a better method... just my opinion. I thought these were forums where we could give feedback and not be belittled saying we're using something incorrectly when with other apps and services you can use this feature this way.

I agree with above comments that syncing is too complex. Every situation stated above has happened to me while trying to set up sync. All I want to do is keep my bookmarks on my two laptops the same. I use the laptops for different purposes and just want them to update each other when I open up Firefox.
Réponse utile
I 100% agree with the comments from the very frustrated users on this thread. This has happened to me too many times and still there is no clear fix from Mozilla. I am starting to wonder if there is even a human being behind the replies on this forum. The responses are completely condescending.
Modifié le par kadoka66
So that's it then? No solution. I too want to sync my bookmarks with another computer but there's no 'manage account' button.
If it's not possible, why does it still say "Firefox Sync can be managed from one of your synced computers (device, data, account) or from any computer (data, account). " ???
If there is no Manage Account menu item, Sync isn't set up on that device!
There are two ways to set up Sync on 2nd and subsequent devices:
1. Use pairing with an existing device; one where Sync is already set up/
2. Use Set Up Sync from the menu.
You need three things to connect a "new device" to your Sync account.
- Username = email address you used when you first setup Sync
- Password for that account.
- Sync Key / Recovery Key
If you are missing any of those three things, you won't be able to recover your data from the Sync Server.
Thanks edmeister. The thing is, I don't have the 2nd device here. It's a pc 100 miles away which I use while i'm there once a month. I'm pretty sure when i tried last time there was no 'manage account' button either. So I'm unable to sign in on this pc after i hit 'i don't have the device with me' because i don't have a recovery key. I've tried hitting 'I have lost my other device' but nothing happens.
Dear Funksucker
You have to setup the sync again if you don't have the recovery key. The instructions for this are partially incorrect. You will not find a manage account option. Go to 'setup Firefox sync' option under SYNC tab in options. Choose the option I have an account. On the next screen choose the option 'I don't have my device with me' On the next screen click on the link 'Show me how I have lost my other device' ( this link is well hidden inside the actual text underneath the text field boxes). Doing so will allow you to setup a new recovery key.
However, this does not restore anything it only enables you to setup a new sync. No bookmarks or history or anything is backed up on the Mozilla servers, a very common misconception.
Actually, as I and others have already complained, this function is next to useless. :(
This is what I don't get. If no bookmarks or history or anything is backed up, why does it say - "You can use Firefox Sync to synchronize your bookmarks, passwords, settings, history, add-ons, and tabs with Firefox on other computers. "???
I guess you don't know since you've already complained. I'm feeling the urge to go back to Chrome!
Thanks for your help
You should avoid generating a new recovery key if there is still the possibility to get data from the other device that is synced. If you generate a new sync key then all data currently stored on the server is removed and you would have to reconnect the other device as well to use the new sync key to sync to that other device.
The "I have lost my other device" link to reset the sync key only works if you have entered the correct user name and password for an existing sync account.

Hi all,
I had been wondering for some time how to have a small lcd screen display output from a computer.
Not wanting to buy an LCD screen just for that, and wanting something cheap and small.
Recently discovered:
The digital photo keyring. (I need more italics! I need a pimp title!) Need lowdown italics for the title!
So, here we go.
Use a cheap digital photoframe as a second display for your PC
And there: hackaday.com
there also: neophob.
More importantly: Wiki. (ST2205u chip)
Keeping thing alive: Openschemes (Our Turn with the AX206 Digital Photo Frames)
There also is a linux CLI (google) (will add link to Url)
Rule of thumb, if the dpf (digital picture frame) appears as cdrom in windows, the hack is not (until further info?) hackable.
If it appears as USB you're ok.
DPF with AppoTech AX203 unsupported.
Ax206 supported.
Wiki DPF with AppoTech AX206
To distinguish from the AX203 types, the rule of thumb (if you are not able to get hold of the USB IDs, shown below) is:
- AX206 based frames are listed with 16 mbit or 32 mbit flash, capable of taking ~107 pictures or more
- Those with 8 mbit and ~130 pictures could be likely AX203
Coby is a brand which comes up.
There is a tool (Dpfmate.exe) which interacts with the DPF. EIther this tool or some code in the Dpf converts your JPG to
128x128 bmp.
More /(ideas)
I bought one. It is Ax203 I think, anyway appears as cd-rom. :/
My main (other) idea was, if one could use it as a VERY small usb stick. (have a bootloader while retaining original Dpf usage)
Ever dreamed of having a very small usb stick! ? (8mb Btw!) imho, 8MB is well sufficient for an OS.
Why on Reboot.pro
The info on the net is disparate.
Here we have people who know VID /PID, Bootloaders, memory mapping, Hex.
Rmmm, Interested?
edit: more info post11

Kris Bright is targeting trophies after signing a one-year deal with Linfield.
Bright – capped six times by New Zealand – passed a medical on Tuesday before completing his move to the Blues.
The 29-year-old is an exciting addition to the Danske Bank Premiership.
Bright arrives at Windsor Park following a spell with South African club Bidvest Wits in the ABSA Premiership.
The 6ft 2in' hitman has also had spells in Holland, Hungary, Norway, Finland, Greece, Malta and England.
"I am here to win trophies with Linfield. That's the ultimate aim," Bright said.
"Linfield are an exciting team and they scored a lot of goals last season. There will be chances to score and hopefully I can get on the end of those chances.
"It is exciting, and I can't wait to get started now. The team won 4-0 on Saturday, so they seem to be doing well. I will be patient and bide my time."
Bright admits he "knows nothing" about Irish League football, but insists he is relishing the challenge of the Danske Bank Premiership.
"I have a few mates who played in the League of Ireland, and they have obviously heard of Linfield. They told me Linfield were the main club up here," Bright added.
"I also know of David Healy and Roy Carroll, and I had seen the stadium before.
"It is a massive club with a big fan base. I hadn't even got home from my medical and I was receiving all these messages on Twitter. It was mad!"
Linfield boss Healy believes Bright will be a hit in the Irish League.
"Kris joins us from a club in South Africa and is a six-times capped New Zealand full international," Healy said.
"He's an experienced and well travelled player with an extensive CV covering clubs in Holland, Hungary, Norway, Finland, Greece and Malta, as well as Shrewsbury Town and Lincoln City in England.
"He comes to us highly rated and he's a tall, strong forward who will increase our striking options and give us something different up front."
he player's agent Lee Mudd is also excited by Bright's arrival.
"It is great for the league," Mudd said.
"Kris can score goals and I think he will be a big success in the Premiership. He just needs a run of games and people will see what he is capable of."

Publisher's Summary
In A Splendid Exchange, William J. Bernstein tells the extraordinary story of global commerce from its prehistoric origins to the myriad controversies surrounding it today. He transports listeners from ancient sailing ships that brought the silk trade from China to Rome in the second century to the rise and fall of the Portuguese monopoly in spices in the 16th; from the rush for sugar that brought the British to Jamaica in 1655 to the American trade battles of the early 20th century; from key innovations such as steam, steel, and refrigeration to the modern era of televisions from Taiwan, lettuce from Mexico, and T-shirts from China.
Along the way, Bernstein examines how our age-old dependency on trade has contributed to our planet's agricultural bounty, stimulated intellectual progress, and made us both prosperous and vulnerable. Although the impulse to trade often takes a backseat to xenophobia and war, Bernstein concludes that trade is ultimately a force for good among nations, and he argues that societies are far more successful and stable when they are involved in vigorous trade with their neighbors.
Lively, authoritative, and astonishing in scope, A Splendid Exchange is a riveting narrative that views trade and globalization not in political terms, but rather as an evolutionary process as old as war and religion - a historical constant - that will continue to foster the growth of intellectual capital, shrink the world, and propel the trajectory of the human species.
Critic Reviews
"Bernstein has given us a master's insights into the past to help us understand an issue of deep divisions in the present age." (Sara Bongiorni, author of A Year without 'Made in China')

Very interesting and Germane to Today's World
This book provides exactly what it says it does - a history of world trade from ancient to modern times. It's well written and provides a great backdrop to today's arguments over globalization. No doubt it will help you out around the water cooler. I found it very interesting to hear how the same trade issues we're dealing with today have been around for quite a long time. I also thought it was interesting that protectionism is beneficial (overall) in some circumstances (particularly, for the U.S. in the early 1800's) but not others. He explains who wins and who loses from free trade in a very clear and convincing manner. It's nice to see a little of the complexity, beyond the usual political rhetoric, surrounding these loaded issues.
The narration is good, but I recommend the audio version with a couple of caveats. First, unless you're an expert in ancient geography, I recommend that you get the book version also so you can see the maps or else look up a bunch of the names on Wikipedia. Otherwise you'll have no picture of the trade routes he's talking about. Second, it's better if you can take it in larger chunks so you don't lose track of what's going on (he goes on diversions from the main point occasionally that can be hard to track if you're listening in dribs and drabs). Overall, great book.

Five stars for text, Two stars for narration
The book is very interesting. It adds a new dimension to history, making it very personal and believable. As for the narration, the reader is frequently so mechanical that it sounds like it could be computer speech. Very disappointing.

By Joshua Kim on 10-06-12
Wonderful, sweeping economic history of the world by one of my favorite writers (Bernstein also wrote "The Birth of Plenty"). These "big" history and "big" thought books are a great antidote to the short time frames and disposable knowledge of our blogging and information overload world. Helps to have a long-term framework to understand our own material lives. Excellent counterpart to Friedman's The World is Flat.

Great book, poor narrator
This is an excellent book. I woud compare it to "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson, in the sense that it has a very widespread subject (international trade), but manages to keep it intetesting and on topic.
Unfortunately the narrator is totally detached from the story. He reads the book like a memo. I managed to ignore that and still enjoy the book, but others may prefer the printed version.

Good book, bad narrator.
I'm convinced the narrator is some kind of text-to-speech software. Listen to the sample and make sure it won't drive you up the wall before buying. I found it unlistenable.

Narrator terrible at pronunciation
Mel Foster mispronounces so many words that it is wildly irritating. He pronounced the Duke of "Albuquerque" as if his Dukedom were in New Mexico and made no attempt to pronounce any other Portuguese name as the Portuguese would. Of course, he should have looked these up before recording. He does not pronounce "mercantilism" or "bullion" properly. He pronounces Edinburgh "Edinburg". Perhaps most annoying of all to me personnaly, since he did it in another book too (Vienna 1914, which he rendered unlistenable with his mispronunciations), was that he pronounces the Earl of Castlereagh's name the Earl of "Castleraw". It's the Earl of "Castleray". Shelly wrote after the Peterloo Massacre: "I met Murder on the way - He had a mask like Castlereagh."
Surely there is someone at Tantor who oversees the recording of each audio book and is responsible for making sure that words are pronounced correctly, even if the narrator cannot be bothered to do so?
As for the book itself it was quite interesting, if somewhat disorganized and repetitious at points. If you're not as fussy as I am about narrators' being ignorant about the pronunciation of English words and being too lazy to look foreign words up, you should enjoy the book. That's why I gave it three stars - on the narration alone I would give it none.

Better to buy the print version
i found it tremendously difficult to envision what the author tried to convey without a visual reference to go along with the narrative. I am sure it is a good book when you can actually see all the geographical references this book constantly makes.

Great book, would be nice to be better narrated
After 17 hrs of listening, I have to say I learned a lot from this book. The content is really good, begins with ancient trade between Han Chinese and Roman, and ends with 20th century trades with some economic theoretical analysis. Majority of the book is storytelling, so it's fairly easy for non-economy specialists. It provides ample of evidence on why trade is so important, how much it influenced the world from ancient time to recent, and how protectionism influenced the trade and the world as well.
Although the book has only one focus, which is international trade, it does present studies on both sides for and against trades. I personally do not perceive this book as promoting either propaganda.
I gave this book a 4-star rating. If I can rate on the content, it probably deserves a 5-star, but there are plenty of space for the narrator to improve the overall experience, especially in the first 2/3 of the book. That being said, although the narrator could have done better, the book remains comprehensible as it is currently narrated.

A little like a college lecture on econ history
What did you like best about A Splendid Exchange? What did you like least?
The section on the ancient Silk Road is interesting. I'm
not sure a book like this lends itself to Audible.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The traders who brought silk, narcotics, spices and other valuables
from the Orient to Europe thru the centuries.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He drones - little enthusiasm.
Was A Splendid Exchange worth the listening time?
If you are already interested in the area - yes.

Narrator sounds like a computer generated voice
Is there anything you would change about this book?
It is a shame that such a well written book is read by such an awful narrator. It sounds like this book is read by a computer generated voice with unexplained pauses and lack of emotion.
Would you be willing to try another one of Mel Foster's performances?
Could you see A Splendid Exchange being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Very information book but not movie material.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AGIO, +3.44%, a leader in the fields of cancer metabolism and rare genetic disorders of metabolism, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to AG-221 for the treatment of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) that harbor an isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) mutation. AG-221 is a first-in-class, oral, selective, potent IDH2 mutant inhibitor being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies.
"We believe this designation is an important recognition by the FDA of the nonclinical and clinical data reported to date and the potential for AG-221 to address a significant unmet need for patients diagnosed with AML," said Chris Bowden, M.D., chief medical officer of Agios. "We remain on track to initiate the planned expansion cohorts for patients with IDH2 mutant positive AML and other IDH2 mutant positive hematologic malignancies in the second half of this year. We are committed to working with our partner Celgene Corporation to get this medicine to patients as soon as possible."
The Fast Track Drug Development Program was established under the FDA Modernization Act of 1997. The program is designed to facilitate frequent interactions with the FDA review team to expedite clinical development and submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for medicines with the potential to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and address unmet medical needs. Specifically, Fast Track designation facilitates meetings to discuss all aspects of development to support approval. It also provides the opportunity to submit sections of an NDA on a rolling basis as data become available. This permits the FDA to review portions of the NDA as they are received instead of waiting for the entire NDA submission.
AML is a cancer of blood and bone marrow characterized by rapid disease progression, and is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults. AML incidence significantly increases with age, and according to the American Cancer Society the median age is 66. Less than 10 percent of U.S. patients are eligible for bone marrow transplant, and the vast majority of patients do not respond to chemotherapy and progress to relapsed or refractory AML. The five-year survival rate for AML is approximately 20 to 25 percent. AML prevalence is estimated to be approximately 115,000 to 160,000 patients worldwide, with approximately 20 percent of patients carrying an IDH mutation.
