New install of Windows 7 64-bit New install of Firefox 28

Going to setup my sync, enter the user, pass & recovery key. It hangs on Verifying for more than five minutes.

Then shows error: failed to connect to the server See screenshots: http://i.gyazo.com/0d19d680eae937fa27ace5df59caaa5d.png

This has been happening for the last 12 hours.

The System Status (https://services.mozilla.com/status) Says: 'The Firefox Sync service is operating normally. There are no known problems at this time. '

I have tried disabling firewall and I'm just using MS Security Essentials.

Please advise? Thanks.
