I recently switched to Firefox from Chrome. I imported all the bookmarks and passwords from Chrome into Firefox on Windows.

Next, I installed it on Linux and later on Android. The sync is not working properly that is what I noticed. Basically I have all the data on my Windows PC Firefox. It is not syncing between other devices, that will be my notebook running Linux and my Android Phone.

I read other similar question son the forum and did a Google search as well. I already did re-install a few times to no avail.

Here is the log from "about:sync-log" : https://paste.ee/p/5e57H

How do I fix this?

What do you see in your Firefox Account in Connected Services? see screenshots My account syncs with no issue on all platforms. On the Windows pc, sign out the devices that are not syncing. Then go to those devices and sign back into sync. I assume on your Windows pc you have all the sync options checked and on the other devices.
