I tried to upload my Firefox data to the sync server but may have made a mistake in the verification box. The tools menu has "sync now as its only sync option but nothing happens when this is selected.

Can you access your sync account?

When I attempt to access these sites my login is refused although the uid and password are correct. Thus I can get nowhere.
