I cannot sync my account on all my devices so I can't port bookmarks to new phone. The syncing process starts but then fails.
I just installed Lineage OS 15.1 on a new phone and tried to sync my bookmarks. Even though the account did get connected successfully the syncing doesn't go through. I subsequently noticed that all my devices have not managed to sync passwords during the last week. (Hovering above the sync button on firefox@Linux says last sync Mar 12). But if I click to manage my account all accounts appear to have synced recently (because I have been trying to).
I looked at about:sync-log (can only access from Linux) and I get the messages below (among a bigger wall of text): __________________________________________________________________________________________

There is a network error message in there but I know my network is working because I am able to log in to my account using the browser as well as from clicking manage account from preferences. I also got this bug in safe mode so it's not because of the addons, here are the safe mode logs:

Additionally when I go to log in at https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/accounts/ the webpage automatically finds my account and shows relevant information so again I don't think there's something wrong with my network.
P.S. I am in safe more when creating this bug report and adding Troubleshooting information.

The solution to the problem was to create a new firefox account and sync all my devices through it - which worked. I don't know what happened and my account suddenly couldn't sync :( I 'll have to delete the old one now.

Thank you for the reply. I don't have antivirus or firewall installed at all on my computer or mobile phone. Moreover the issue affects all my devices !! From different networks (wifi + 3G ).

Hello, I have checked those information. Unfortunately they don't say anything about how to troubleshoot the sync process once something doesn't work as it should - like in this case. I am following the proper steps when trying to sync my devices.
Moreover in the new lineageos phone the sync fails and the options to define what to sync and what not never get un-greyed_out.
