I never mentioned cables at all ever. I clearly already have a Firefox sync account since I'm here saying my account isn't working the way it did last week. This in no way addresses my issue. You legitimately didn't read my question at all. you just saw the word sync and cut pasted from FAQ and everyone can see that.
