Just noticed that I haven't had a successful sync for 2-3 weeks now, see the following sync log. Any ideas?

hello, can you reach the https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5 url when you try to access it manually?

I can reach https://token.services.mozilla.com/1.0/sync/1.5; the response is {"status": "error", "errors": [{"location": "body", "name": "", "description": "Unauthorized"}]}

ok, that looks alright - can you try to create a new profile for testing purposes and see if you can sync successfully there? (this would be to determine if it's a problem with the network or the individual configuration)

Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles

If I create a new profile, and connect it to the same Firefox account, the bookmarks etc show up (probably missing recent changes).
