I just created a new sync account on my desktop, but when I logged on my laptop, the prompt asks me to create a new account. I am sure that my user name and password are right. Both devices have Firefox 51.0.1 Laptop is Windows 10 and desktop is Windows 7.

I had this problem since last year, but only recently did I urgently need to since my bookmarks and passwords.

Thanks

Never post any personal information because an adware robot could find it, and start sending you all kinds of spam. This includes e-mail, phone, and home information.
