32-bit Firefox 29.0.1; Windows desktop version; Windows 7 64-bit OS Created a very-very new sync account then confirmed the account via the e-mail. Verified the account logging into that, e-mail and password is working. Set the sync options to only bookmarks, passwords and add-ons. After the browser restart sync is still not working, just sync icon is constantly spinning.

In the sync error log it is saying:

1401788644648 Sync.BrowserIDManager ERROR Failed to fetch a token for authentication: [Exception... "App. Quitting" nsresult: "0x80004004 (NS_ERROR_ABORT)" location: "JS frame :: resource://services-common/async.js :: checkAppReady/onQuitApplication/Async.checkAppReady :: line 123" data: no]

This is nonsene, I can access the account in the account management site via the e-mail and password. Then why is the authentication failed??
