Firefox

I have two computers. One is Windows 7 and the other Windows 8.1. On the 7, I get to the point where the screen shows Welcome to Sync with a blue manage button and a small window in the right corner that says Sync Enabled: Firefox will begin syncing momentarily. And it has been that way for 10 minutes. It never indicates it is syncing.
On the Windows 8.1 computer, I cannot determine whether the sync account is the old one. There is no sync option in the menu button. When I go to Tools/Sync Now nothing happens. Under the options/sync tab there is NO option to Unlink this device.
So I can't tell if I have the old sync program and couldn't unlink if I did. Meanwhile, nothing happens on either computer when I choose Sync Now.
Sync Loss of Functionality

Before Firefox 29 I could tell my devices to copy all tabs, bookmarks, passwords,and history from Device A to Device B. THAT is what Sync used to be. Firefox 29 took away that functionality. I used to be able to flawlessly keep two other devices synced up with my main device. Now we have no control over our Sync accounts and it does nothing to Sync devices after you get the "Setup complete" graphic.
So after years of flawless Sync functionality, now all Sync does is nothing.
Mozilla took away functionality from their product. That is the issue I would like someone to address: bring back to Sync the ability to tell my devices to copy all tabs, bookmarks, passwords, and history from Device A to Device B.

Firefox's old sync was clunky but extremely useful. I can't get the new sync to work at all, which is not at all useful. Basically, I've gone to Settings > Options > Sync > Unlink this device. That displays a very large dialog box with just one very short statement on it which reads "Determining your account status ..." Apparently, that task takes a very long time indeed because I've let it sit there for two days, and it's still determining my account status. I can click OK or Cancel, and the dialog box will go away. Then, if I go back to Settings > Options > Sync, it doesn't even give me a chance to tell it I want to unlink. Instead it goes directly to the dialog box stating that it's still determining my account status.
I would very much like to be able to sync Firefox across a couple of computers. Is there any way to do that?

Hey guys, I am having quite a problem. I set up my account and didn't get the confirmation email. I tried having it resent and I tried doing a password reset. I didn't get either of those emails either. I added the domain to my safe mailers list and have checked in my junk mail folder and it is still not there. It is a hotmail account if that is relevant. Please help me out...

I cannot just get sync to start. It continuously asks to confirm the SignIn, when tried to sync. Then it keeps sending "New sign-in to Firefox" every time it asks to sign in again.
The menu-window always just shows "Reconnect to sync..." After clicking it, it opens: about:preferences#sync There is "Sign in to continue". I sign in with the correct user+pass, it sends Email "New sign-in to Firefox", and goes to about:preferences#sync There again it asks "Please sign in to reconnect user@email" and it shows a pop-up window "Sync, enabled, Firefox will begin syncing momentarily."
... and that continues over and over again, email-box is getting new "New sign-in to Firefox" every time and it annoyingly refuse to start to sync.
The syncing with that firefox-account works with Android phone and Android-tablet, but not with Firefox v50.1.0 in Fedora Linux.
No proxies are in use. No NoScript-extension. uMatrix extensions has "enable everyting from *".

Share between several platforms, dual/multiple boot

Hi here!! I review a lot of mozilla docs (out dated or without complete info), forums, googling ... about how to share firefox/thunderbird/ligthing data between platforms on dual/multiple boot system. Every user in same trouble are repeating (copy/paste) in the solution to share the SAME FULL PROFILE on all platforms. I review profile data and folders and I can see files and config data that are platform dependent; then I think that share FULL PROFILE between is not the best approach, for example Linux and Windows will produce several problems (and a lot of problems with the add-ons) In these same mozilla docs recommends to share only data and maintain custom profile for each platform, but not more info how to do it. Please can some kind advanced :) provide some info about the correct approach. Or a better tech info about how is possible the recommendation of sharing same profile between platforms without problems. Because with the current doc info, there is no way to get a clear answer (Almost I can't :~). Thx guys!

So, i've just received an email that someone "signed in to my account with Firefox 18 on 2016-06-23 15:18 UTC" Can i get info which IP/location was used while doing so ? I've already changed my password, but knowing that emails come with some delay and all you need is just a few seconds to sync all your passwords id say its a pretty bad thing..

Hello, it's me again, I keep asking this question and no one seems to know, Must be nice Mozilla dumping your whole IT support department on the community, I am sure you save lots. Anyway, since Mozilla won't return my calls, and it's been over a month, can anyone, for the love of all that is holy explain to me why I can sync on two other devices but when I try to sync from my main laptop I get "Email Was Returned" , I have double checked the spelling, so, what's preventing it from going through? Somebody has to know, since Mozilla is keeping quiet.

I am unable to login to Firefox sync on my Galaxy S8 phone, AT&T tablet, or ether of my two PC. I know what the password should be but it just will not work. I have tried to use the password reset but I have never receive any emails in my Yahoo account. I have checked this on all of my four devices. I have checked the spam, trash, all of my folders that my filter feed. I have tried to setup a new sync account with my email address to make sure an account still exists and the system tells me that that email address is already in use. I thought it might be because my Ubuntu 16.04 system stopped allowing me to update anything so I reformatted my drive and installed Lubuntu 18.04 I have read as many postings as I can find to resolve this to no avail. How can I get help to fix this?

My old laptop has my account working fine. I tried to login using my new laptop and it will not show any of my synced content.
On the old laptop , it shows all my bookmarks which is what I really need but then using all the same details to log in to the new laptop with all the right information, there is nothing that the sync brings up. There is no error to display and no content that comes up. Almost as if there is nothing to sync. I have synced from the old laptop again but it has not done anything at all.
So, password is fine, account details is fine, sync from old laptop is fine, uninstalled/reinstalled firefox done...
