| _Go to your Owncloud installation <https://myowncloud/remote.php/mozilla_sync> and accept the SSL Certificate | |
| _Open about:config | |
| _Create: services.sync.username <string> the value should be a hash not the username itself. (You only need the hash if the | |
| sync was setup with a pre FF29, if you start from scratch the string doesn't matter) | |
| You can look this up in an older browser or in the logs of your Owncloud server!! | |
| _Go to: Preferences -> Sync -> Setup Firefox sync (you should see the old UI now) | |
| 'I Have an Account' | |
| 'I don't have the device with me' | |
| 'Account' - again use the hash NOT the actual username! | |
| 'Password' - ... | |
| 'Server' - https://myowncloud/remote.php/mozilla_sync/ | |
| 'Recovery Key' - Get the right key from an older browser, you can find it in the sync settings | |
| If nothing happens on the 'Next' button, restart your browser and start over. |
