I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.

It should be working now. If you still see errors, please reopen this bug.

Hi,

Please also see this.

Hi!

You shouldn't need the Sync Add-on. It has been long deprecated and the Sync features are now built in the browser. If you are using the add-on that's probably the source of all your issues.

I'm not aware of any outage so please confirm that you are still hitting that error so we can investigate further in your case. But before that, try to unsync your device and sync it again.
