Firefox sync stopped working for me about 48h ago. I can login from any device correctly but upon attempting to sync nothing happens. I have tried signing out, reinstalling the android app, a new profile in the PC browser. This is the latest log I got after atempting to sync.

I'm also having this issue with iphone and PC browser synching. I went into the App Store to see what's going on and it looks like the only change was the app updating. The synch is no longer working for any of the types of items I usually synch: bookmarks, open tabs, etc.

This issue happened to me over the weekend as well (I posted about it here) and in my research I found people who'd had something similar happen before and it just started syncing normally again after 2-3 days. Some sort of server/connection issue, apparently.

However, after much troubleshooting, I saw that someone had simply deleted their account and created a new one, so I tried that. Takes only a few minutes and you can use the same email address on the new account, with no delay. Worked like a charm.

Can confirm this works, not ideal but problem fixed for now. Thanks for the answer.
