Another good reason for Google Chrome... I had a similar experience, only I didn't have a USB key. I was to have a new PC in my office the next day (with the old one still on line for a few more days, so I thought), and I found FF Sync...
Next morning, SURPRISE! - the mother board on my POS 390 blew when I went to power it on. I could mount the drive on the new PC, but I never could get what was in FF Sync. (I did work with FF recovery tools for "backup/restore"-like functions and got most of them back.) From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 3:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: making Firefox Sync work without another device I had all my bookmarks saved into Firefox Sync, which ran on my laptop and also from the portable edition on my USB key. Due to unexplained events, both my laptop and USB key were wiped, so neither of these have Firefox on them any more. So how do I get my bookmarks back from Firefox Sync? If you load Firefox up, you can't sync without a code from another device, and if you generate a new recovery key all your data is removed! Anyone come across this issue and worked out a way around it, or should I get straight on to Mozilla?

I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most certainly be hung, drawn and quartered. I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an opinion-expressing service.
