I'm trying to resync my newly set-up Firefox on Mac OS X. Somehow it never occured to me, that i'd have to save the key.

So is there a way, as stated in the title, to restore my Sync key from the mobile device, without deleting all of my Bookmarks etc?

thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry to read that. Unfortunately, because of security reasons, there's no way to retrieve your Sync key from any mobile device. That's why it's really important to keep a secure back up of it.

The only remaining option at this stage is to save your bookmarks on the phone and manually migrate them to your computer. Once you have done this, reset your account.
