Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Note that Firefox stores the credentials for accessing Sync in the Password Manager (involved files in the profile folder: logins.json and key3.db). So make sure that you keep this password.
