New Android fails to sync properly

Hi. I have Firefox Account for a few years. I have had 1 Linux laptop and 2 Android smartphones with Firefox as primary browers for 2 years. I just bought Samsung A52s and transfered (almost) everything with Smart Switch. Later I saw Firefox was not allowed access to memory (if that is important). When I tried to log into firefox account and sync (since all the existing local data was ignored o_O , email and pass were accepted and Firefox started syncing. Then it stopped with time of last sync "never" Clicking on Sync now did not help. After I kill the app and try to sync again, it starts syncing with result either "never" or 01 jan 1970 (if I remember corectly). Only thing synced are home screen history or what ever you call it, most used URL. I tried wiping Firefox local data but that does not help either.

Ah, yes, when Firefox tries to auto sync, it says "Syncing" but arrows icong is not animated, does not rotate. While I typed this Firefox tried to sync and then crashed the app.

And sending tab from older Android Firefox to this one fails, does not reach new phone Firefox.

I tried reinstalling Firefox on Android (11), I made sure Firefox is allowed to access memory, I even installed Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly and all 3 fail to sync with same symptoms. History gets synced, and Home page, but nothing else, no passwords, no bookmarks and no open pages. Is there a way to activate debug so I can see where is fails?
