Firefox Notes will not sync

Firefox 64.0.2 (64-bit) will not sync my Notes. I installed it through testpilot. I use Sync without issues to sync my Bookmarks. I click on the "Sign in to Sync" field, which shows the sign-in page, I sign in, and it returns me to the Notes bar where the field now reads "Reconnect to Sync", and after a while "Activate your Account". I also get a mail "New sign in to Sync". Did this several times, and on two different PC - a Laptop with Windows 10 and a desktop with Windows 7. My Android account has Notes connect to Sync without any issues. I tried the same with Noscript and ublock disabled. Thanks a lot for any pointers

Are you in the private mode, or your history is not being remembered?

Thanks a lot, this was the right pointer!

I had disabled history - "Never remember history". Once I switched it to "Custom settings", syncing works.

Is there a way that syncing works, while still keeping the privacy settings intact?

And if not, can you tell me which setting keeps the Sync connected? Then I can at least disable the others.

I can't really say anything about the details. You've to check it by trial & error method.

I am having this issue too. It shows as synced but none of the notes are showing up in the panel.
