Could you elaborate on when you are receiving this error and when it occurs?

hello vee, this is most likely an issue on the server side at the moment & nothing wrong on your particular installation/account. it's probably best to just sit this one out - sorry for the inconvenience...

If it isnt disrupting how you use sync/ Firefox Accounts, I wouldn't worry about it.

Nothing special. One day I just open Firefox and this error occur. I just use Firefox to browse the web. I did not use Firefox account to do anything, just for sync.
