How do I solve Sync problems without an error message?

The following problems do not display an error message:

  • Your Sync client isn't compatible with the data you have on the Sync server.
  • The Sync servers are having issues to handle your data.
  • The Sync servers are under a heavy load - in this case, the error will stop when the server load returns to normal.

Follow these steps in order until one of them fixes the Sync problem:

Check to see if other extensions are interfering with Firefox Sync

  1. Disable all extensions and themes except Firefox Sync.
  2. Then test for faulty extensions or themes.

For more information on how to troubleshoot extensions and themes, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Update Firefox on all your devices

To improve the Sync service, the Sync data format may be changed when the latest Firefox version is released. This means that any of your other devices which have not been updated will need to be updated in order to keep syncing. Update Firefox.

Note: After updating, you may need to connect your device again. See How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?

Reset your Sync data

In some cases where you are getting regular errors and restarting Firefox or waiting doesn’t solve the issue, you can try to reset your Sync data. In order to do so, see How do I reset my Sync data?

We generally recommend not taking this approach unless evidence suggests that it will help: there are a number of issues (such as bookmark database corruption) that will not be improved by this step.
