Firefox logs out when I start to sync

When I normally open the firefox browser on my laptop the firefox account is signed in all the time and has no issue but as soon as I start sync it disconnects and when I login it shows the login success page but when I click on the "continue to navigate" the account disconnects again. Tried with temporary mode without add-ons and gave whitelisted firefox.com but it's still the same. The sync never bothered me before but I'm changing computer and I need transfer the browser data on the new computer. Can anyone help? Using Window 10, firefox version 78.0.2 (64 bit)
