I've created a Sync account on Desktop and logged in on Android. When I go to settings and click "Synchronize" or "Sync Now" or however it's called in English version of the app it says "Synchronizing..." for a second, then goes back to showing "Synchronize" with "Last sync: never" under it. The options for what to sync are grayed out. "Logged in as" correctly shows my email. about:sync-tabs on desktop shows nothing.

FF Versions are up to date: Android: 38.0.5 PC: 38.1.0 esr

Chosen solution

1. Delete completely the application firefox of your mobile.

2. Install the latest version of firefox : 39.0 (you can get here : https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/ you can "Refresh firefox")

3. Now you just have firefox on desktop, conect with Sync, synchronize.

4. Re-install the latest of firefox app version via Google Play

Thank you! For some reason the update feature in Settings was telling me that there are no updates available. Simply updating via Google Play has solved the problem.
