Firefox repeatedly signs out of mozilla account

I have Firefox 146.01 on 2 windows computers (windows 10 and 11), and on a samsung android phone. I have several extensions (eg uBlock) and I use ExpressVPN.

My mozilla account has a display name and primary email which I verified, and account recovery key enabled. There's no secondary email, no two-step authentication using a third party app. I can readily log the browser back into my mozilla account by entering the password and emailed 6-digit confirmation code, but then it logs me back out within an hour. Each of my 3 devices logs me out repeatedly.

In the address bar I type about:sync-log, and I was able to find the below lines in separate areas of several logs: DEBUG Status.login: success.login => error.login.reason.no_username DEBUG Status.login: error.login.reason.no_username => error.login.reason.no_username ERROR FxA rejecting with error UNVERIFIED_ACCOUNT, details: undefined ERROR Background refresh of initial profile failed: Error: UNVERIFIED_ACCOUNT(resource://gre/modules/FxAccounts.sys.mjs:1669:18) JS Stack trace: _error@FxAccounts.sys.mjs:1669:18 withSessionToken@FxAccounts.sys.mjs:876:18 ERROR Sync encountered a login error DEBUG Exception calling WrappedLock: Error: Login failed: error.login.reason.account(resource://services-sync/service.sys.mjs:1053:15) JS Stack trace: onNotify@service.sys.mjs:1053:15

Based on the above lines, can someone help me figure out why firefox/mozilla keeps signing me out?

Thanks so much

Hi

Were you sent an account verification email when you set up your Firefox Account?

Thanks Paul for your fast response! - Each time Firefox signs me out of my Mozilla account, I then sign back in. This process emails a 6 digit code to me which I enter, and I am then signed in successfully. Is that the verification you're referring to? The issue is that it then logs me out, typically within an hour. - In case this is helpful -- when I log into my account, under Connected Services, it lists my 3 devices as "signed into" yet Firefox in those devices show my profile as being signed out (since it keeps signing me out).

Much appreciated

Hi,

Looks like you're dealing with a Mozilla account issue. We have a direct one-to-one support for Mozilla account (which is a different thing from peer to peer support forum like this one).
