how do I setup sync on Firefox with an exisiting account? When I do "I already have a Sync account", I get a sync key. When I go to my Android it has another Sync key but they can not be edited!

I had to re-install Firefox 4...was installing Ubuntu 10.10 and the bookmarks, history and many buttons quit working in Firefox. I eventually uninstalled Ubuntu and then uninstalled Firefox. I am hoping my bookmarks are on the Sync server. I see how to sync it to my computer but the keys are a problem as previously stated.

Thanks...my problem was using the right key. I forgot about the one I had saved when I created the account.
