I have updated to Firefox 80 in both Ubuntu and Windows and sync stop working. I keep getting "Reconnect to Firefox Account" no matter how many times I did it. I even get every time in my email the notification for the new signin to my account. I tried removing my account and adding it again, but still getting the same error.

During OAuth token exchange my SyncServer gives a 401 response. Maybe FF80 is not compatible with Firefox Sync Server?

Also in the new Android Firefox 79 I cannot sync with a private Sync server. When I try to open about:config I get the error in the image and the following link:

Yes. Now I can set custom sync server to Android. When I try to sync I get "Last synced: Jan 1, 1970" I have tried loading the latest docker to run sync server, but still gives 401

I suppose that the best option for you is to file a bug on https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues

Looks like that Sync server and FF80 have problems. https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/issues/225
