sync key error
after Re-Installing windows 7 i clicked on sync setup from the menu
user name and pass is correct but the sync key shows error "Wrong Key"
why is that? the key is not generated,... i've changed it the time i created in and used it for over a year now every time i re-install windows or ff i put it and it's working so it's not wrong!!!!!!!!!
now what,.. i want my bookmark data and passwords back

Make sure that you are using the exact key without any space at the end.
Unfortunately, if you did change that Key or the one that you have copied is not exactly the one that was used to encrypt your data, you can not recover it and you will need to set up Firefox Sync again.
It's always a good idea to back up your profile before reinstalling the OS. Firefox Sync is not designed as a back-up service.
Sorry about it.
