How synchronized data is encrypted? Is it protected from Mozilla admins' access (only user has decryption key)? Or is there only client-server encryption? If synchronized data is accessible in the unencrypted form by people who have access to Mozilla servers, could you implement end-to-end encryption?

Hi

I recommend you have a read of this blog entry that will help explain this better than I can.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

There are other things that need attention.

The System Details List shows that you have multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
