Hi,

I used since a long time FF on W$ Seven to surf. I have a long list of bookmarks. I'd like to come back to an ubuntu session for my daily surf and i want to sync my W7's FF settings with the newly installed Ubuntu's FF. But it don't work. W7 use FF 29.0.4 and Ubuntu use FF 30.0. On W7, i selected in the settings menu the option "erase all others settings session and use this session settings for all others FF sessions". On ubuntu, the sync session is correctly connected, but none import apply. these version of FF don't contains an option for "reset all settings and import settings from default profiles". If i go in the options of the sync settings, i only can disconnect, change password, or delete account.

what should i do?

Thanks

"On W7, i selected in the settings menu the option "erase all others settings session and use this session settings for all others FF sessions"." Sounds like the earlier version of Sync, used in Firefox 28 and older.
