I have Sync set up on Firefox 27.0 on my Windows 7 machine and I want to Sync with Aurora 29.0a2 on my Kindle tablet.

In Aurora on the Kindle I select "Settings -> Sync" then tap "Get Started" tap "Already have an account? Sign in". When I enter my email and password to set up Sync on the Kindle, I get an error message stating: "Invalid email or password". I know my credentials are entered correctly.

Are the Sync systems different between Firefox and Aurora? How can I get this to work?

Thanks for any assistance.

Chosen solution

While not actually resolving the problem, my solution was to uninstall Aurora and I was able to find the apk for FireFox 27.0 for Android and load it on the Kindle. When selecting the Sync option under settings in the mobile version of Firefox, I was presented with an authentication key to enter into my Firefox on the Windows 7 machine. The sync seems to have occurred.
