Synchronizing Firefox

I love Firefox. I have been using it since Firefox 2.0. However, I haven't use synchronization because what I don't really need to synchronize all. What I need is synchronizing bookmarks only, and Xmarks do a very good job on that, plus, Xmarks synchronizes bookmarks between browsers. That's what I exactly need.

Months ago, I bought my first smart phone, Xperia pro. I start to use phone surfing websites. The biggest problem is the bookmarks on desktop were not available when I'm using phone. I did a little search on Google and it showed nothing about it until Chrome and Firefox for Android launched. I love these two browsers. I use Firefox the most, but I still use chrome a lot. These two browsers can both help me get my bookmarks on my phone because the bookmarks are exactly the same between Firefox and Chrome thanks to Xmarks. I tried Chrome at first because I'm a huge Google fan, but Chrome is too large. The phone kept showing "low space" which is really annoying. That's why I turn to Firefox.

Synchronization of Firefox is not the same with Chrome. Chrome synchronizes with Google account, but Firefox uses "pair devices" instead of account. The next following is showing how to synchronize Firefox between phone and desktop.

1. Launch Firefox on Android and press the menu bottom, choose "Settings" and "Snyc". Then, you'll see three code.



2. Launch Firefox on your computer and go to "Option" and "Sync". Select "Pair a device" and then you'll see three input boxes.

3. Entering the code on phone and press Next, and your Firefox is synchronizing.


4. Finally, you can see the successful connection on both phone and desktop.

A trip to Lie Ying Jian at Mei Ling


Lie Ying Jian means a tip of falcon, which is located in Mei Ling of Nansi, Tainan, Taiwan. It is named so because it looks like an eagle standing on the top of the mountain, and it is one of the most amazing scenes that I’ve ever seen in my life. I had heard so many people recommending this place as a best site in Tainan so I went there in a lovely afternoon.
