I have a newly setup computer and I logged into my firefox account and verified it. The sync started and I have bookmarks and passwords, however none of my addons have transferred, having a quick look through the log, it says the transfer was vetoed?

Hi, the info supplied shows here as you do not have any Extensions.

You do not speak of another computer/phone/laptop/pad your syncing to.

It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of these article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.

Sync should be working to "populate" a new computer.

This form software absolutely mangles the formatting of the sync error logs line breaks, making it very hard to follow what's going on. And doing a "Find" on this page for veto shows nothing within the error log text.

Until Sept 1 this website is available for posting sync error logs in a manner that is readable for those of us who may not have the best eyesight.

https://pastebin.mozilla.org/

Once pasted there select "a month" for retention and then once you have submitted your paste give us the UR: for your paste there.

Actually the log stops at the part that deals with the addons, so there is not much to tell.

thanks for your reply. mozilla paste gave me this error as I posted the latest sync log, which was larger than the rest :- Query failure: Data too long for column 'code' at row 1

I posted at github as it's being discontinued anyways:- https://gist.github.com/johntucke/62595afcf40c7fd6c748b79630c4d7ff

As previously stated, it's just my addons that didn't sync, as everything else did fine, thankyou

That looks like an older Sync log (initial sync from about 15 min. earlier) and doesn't have Addons data.

The log you posted on githup looks OK to me.

Can you post a log where you notice this 'veto' issue?
