I have already got Firefox Home sync'd on my iphone from my old PC, but my old PC has been whiped. Now I want to set up my sync account on my new pc and retain all the bookmarks from my account. How do I do this?
Right, first I had a PC then sync'd my bookmarks to my iphone...Now my PC has died. I have a new PC and wish to sync my bookmarks back to my new PC.. But I cant seem to do this because the sync process on my new pc asks me to 'add a new device' which I dont want to do... So I click 'I dont have the device with me' and even then I can't get a sync key because there is no way to find it on the iphone app. I have looked back through my emails to see if I was ever sent one by email, but I can't find it.
SO basicly it looks like I am going to loose all my bookmarks that I want to transfer onto my new pc. Unless I manualy add in the bookmarks from my phone onto the new PC on firefox and create a new sync account?

You are totally right. Without the Sync Key you can't restore the previous account in your computer. The phone versions of Android don't store it.
I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway. My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion. My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc. But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same. Any suggestions?
Hey, my only solution for my original problem is to manualy transfer the bookmarks by typing in the web addresses onto my firefox on my pc one by one and saving them! Takes forever. But then at least you can create a new sync account for the future when the pc/mac decides to die or infact the iphone 5 comes out! I recon Firefox should release a brower app for ios!!
