Hello,

If I remember correctly, there were a few relevant threads in
October 2015 :

   Someone needs to port the code. SeaMonkey is a volunteer project, so it
   needs someone to volunteer for doing this porting.



Regards.

That might have been the basis for my response up thread . The work 
was done for Syncing on FF but lack of labour on SM meant the required 
work had not been done . yet!!

Hi Walt!

I tried that but still did not work (getting the older browsers and re-Sync). 
Looks like I will have to wait until they make Sync with SeaMonkey compatible 
with Firefox Sync. I somehow cannot link into Sync with SeaMonkey anymore. Even 
with older versions.  Give me error messages whenever I put in any of the 2 
email addresses I have used.

Until then, however, if I change computers, I will be really in trouble given 
that I need much of data to be stored on SeaMonkey Sync the new one to come 
maybe soon  I cannot access the old data previously stored.

I didn't think Sync worked between different programs (i.e FF and SM)! I
thought it was just to allow you to sync the FF on your Desktop computer
with FF on your Laptop computer, for example! :-(

Hi Daniel!

In the past, it was possible to sync the two browsers on the same computer. 
That was the old sync system.

The problem seems to be that I cannot link into the new sync system for as long as sea 
monkey is asking me for a "recovery key" that was needed with the old sync 
system.

I can link in to the new sync system - that now requires only an email and 
password - with Firefox, but cannot do so with Sea Monkey.

Pierre


Known issue.


You cannot set up a new Sync account or pair a device anymore (bug 998807). 
Workaround: Use an older version of SeaMonkey for such tasks for now.

SeaMonkey is not a Mozilla product. There is only Firefox.

If you follow the meeting notes Mozilla has graciously given SeaMonkey 
"official permission to**use the Firefox FxA 2.0 sync servers"*.

Hi Daniel!

In the past, it was possible to sync the two browsers on the same computer. 
That was the old sync system.

The problem seems to be that I cannot link into the new sync system for as long 
as sea monkey is asking me for a "recovery key" that was needed with the old 
sync system.

I can link in to the new sync system - that now requires only an email and
