Firefox Sync disconnects after every OS boot

more options

Hi,

I'm having a problem with Firefox Sync. When I started Firefox Sync it said disconnected, I logged in, exited the browser and reopened the browser and Firefox Sync was still working.

But when I shutdown, or restart the operating system, Firefox Sync gives an error that it has been disconnected, forcing me to log in again.

I have tried uninstalling, deleting all profiles in the %appdata% folder of the operating system and reinstalling but still the same error.

Hope someone will help me! Thank you!

Firefox uses the Password Manager (logins.json in the Firefox profile folder) to store the credentials to login to Sync, so if Firefox isn't able to log in then it sounds that logins.json is cleared or at least the chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry in this file. This chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry is hidden from about:logins so you won't see it listed there, only a direct inspection of logins.json shows it. You can try to keep a copy of logins.json and check whether it has changed. Other possible causes are a problem with prefs.js of files in the weave folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

I have tried deleting all the `chrome://FirefoxAccounts` records and then logging in to sync again but it doesn't work! After restarting windows, Firefox Sync still disconnects!

Assuming you have connected the same Sync account on both your mobile and desktop copies of Firefox: In Firefox on your desktop device: Go into the Settings menu and select Firefox Account. Tap on Synchronise now

In case of issues with Sync you can try this:

Disconnect from Sync and Reconnect to Sync again. You can disconnect from Sync by clicking the e-mail address in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list or go to "Options/Preferences -> Sync".

Delete the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder and delete the Weave folder (Sync was formerly named Weave) with Firefox closed.

Remove an existing chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry in the Firefox Password Manager.

If that isn't enough then delete the prefs.js files to reset all prefs and maybe also delete the compatibility.ini file to reinitialize the profile.

Delete and re-create the Firefox account or change the Sync password.


You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

I logged out firefox from my account, deleted files signedInUser.json, Weave folder, prefs.js and compatibility.ini

Delete all chrome://FirefoxAccounts records in password manager

Delete the Firefox Sync account and create a new account with a new password. But when I restart the OS, everything still disconnects and I still have to manually log in again!
