Sync Sign In Failure - Hangs at sign in, never resolves

I cannot sign in. Fails both at work and at home. I have changed passwords 3 times. The confirmation emails work just fine. My cloud servers are up and functioning normally. After I enter my password and hit enter, the sign-in process never finishes. I get a progress message saying "Working..." that never goes away. See the attached screenshot.

I've disabled all the plug-ins except for LastPass, which I use for storing usernames and passwords. I've restarted my browser several times. I've rebooted both my PC at home and my PC at work.

Any ideas?

Below is the my most recent sync-error log.

Hi eloveng,

Is one of your Firefox profile settings "Never Remember History" ? In order to confirm if you are affected by this bug, bug 1319904, please toggle that preference or temporarily disable syncing history on your next Firefox session.

Let's see, it is Jan 21, 2017 - the last post was Nov 28, 2016 - So "SOON" means more than 2 MONTHS. Not in my book.

Maybe I figured out what the "bug" is..........a lack of communication. It seems that, for some reason, when I manually signed in on my new computer instead of letting Lastpass do it, I go an email confirmation that I had to verify. After that it is good. When I went back to my desktop and tried logging in there I got the "working" message as it was trying to login. I guess what that "working" message really means is NOT that it is working to login, but rather that sync is ALREADY working on the computer. who knows.............?
