Hi meanceslinger,

Did you configure Firefox on your other device(s) to sync bookmarks?

Yes. Sync stopped working after I updated my phone to android marshmallow. It worked earlier

I have the same problem since I updated my phone and tablet to Android 6.0. The problem happens on both. When adding a sync account to mozilla the operation seems successful however the sync operation doesn't complete, the sync options are disabled and the page says "last sync=never".

Update wrt my issue: I have managed to sync my phone successfully over the cellular network disabling the wi-fi connection. After that I created a hotspot with my phone and connected my tablet to the hotspot and the tablet has also synchronised successfully. Returning both devices to the home wi-fi makes them fail again. I have rebooted my router but I can't see any issue with any traffic. Is there a requirement on port forwarding that I need to do on the router to make the synchronisation work? I never had this problem before...

i'm on the same boat and unfortunately neither wifi nor cell network work.

UPDATE: it seems that installing the localgsmprovider (or else) - yes, i use microG with no Gapps.. - solved the problem!

so it might seems as a location related issue.

UPDATE 2: it worked one time but upon clicking sync it won't work anymore, tho' the voices are not greyed out this time.

UPDATE 3: after having disconnected the account and signed in back.. everything's at the initial status: greyed out and stuck.
