Firefox 3.6.13 is on 2 XP computers, in home and in office. Both have Sync 1.6.1 with the same settings and same key. One works ok, but another fails to update every time. Tried with all add-ons but Sync disabled, did not help. Un/reinstalled Sync, did not help. Follows log file.

I am seeing the exact same symptoms as described above - two XP systems with FireFox 3.6.13 and Sync 1.6.1, but only one system will sync . Below is the info from about:sync-log from the broken machine.

Thanks…

Update: I was able to resolve this problem by the following steps:

1. open Sync Preferences and uncheck all checkboxes but one 2. perform update. It performed successfully. 3. open Preferences and check another checkbox in addition

Repeat steps 2-3 until all checkboxes are checked. In the end, I had them all checked like in the beginning, and it updated successfully, no more error.

Thank you, vrapp!!! Your fix worked for me. From what I can tell, I think the history engine was the hang-up... I had 5000 entries to sync and it took quite a while, relatively, compared to a usual sync that only partially worked. (Before, I'd get bookmarks synced and other things, but got an error and the process was over quickly... this took some time to sync up the histories.)

Ah, it appears I have spoken too quickly. It did work, but now I'm having the same issue again. It wasn't the history section, though... it's a password sync fail. Perhaps it's intermittent?

I just thought it was the history section due to the time it took to upload, but it appears when you unsync and re-sync history, it does a full upload regardless of whether it was properly synced before or not.

Here's the error in the log:

Yes, same here. It looks like showing the success after disabling/reenabling is yet another bug. It never actually synchronized the passwords.

I suggest you join the bug report thread at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614984 and add your vote for importance. So far it wasn't addressed, but maybe more votes will make it.

RESOLVED (for me at least :)) )

After update of Firefox Sync it set's up a default "Computer name", which happened to be same on all of my three computers, something alike: <user name> on Windows NT5.1

Therefore there was a conflict as the server doesn't recognize computer as unique entity.

As soon as I gave unique name to my computers (Tools --> Sync ---> Preferences ---> Computer Name) sync started to work as a charm :)))

Hope this will help to you to...

Kind regards, Nenad

nenad -- tried changing the name to no avail. My names were different to begin with, though.

vrapp -- excellent suggestion. I've voted on the bug and submitted the relevant portion of the log.
