I have had to re-install all Apps on my Android device. I cannot sync Firefox because Firefox has lost my sync account - it cannot find my email address, never mind the password. So if I set up a new account, how do I use the sync key?

HI Thursdaycat, Thank you for your question. I understand that the sync account is not working in Firefox for Android.

Currently in version 29, there is no sync key. Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more will explain how to update to the new sync.
