recently, my firefox can not connect to the sync server. I had already entered the right username, password and the recovery-key but it shows cannot connect to the server. Lots of my private and important information is on the sync server. Need any helps!

I will recommend you to take a look to the Sync logs and open a bug if this keep happening. This blogpost explains how: https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/

Let me know if that helps. Ibai

log end---------------------------------------

it implies there is an HTTPS certificate error. I think it maybe caused by the google agent proxy. I will close the google agent and test again.

I follow up it if there is something wrong after i closed the google agent.
