I haven't been able to sync my accounts for the past few days. Below is the error message: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox Sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically. Sync will automatically retry this action."

it might still take a bit, since it's currently weekend and most sync engineers are stationed in the us west-coast timezone...

hello v4ever, this is most likely an issue on the server side at the moment & nothing wrong on your particular installation/account. it's probably best to just sit this one out - sorry for the inconvenience...

Thanks for your quick reply, philipp. Do you know how long it will take for the server problem to get resolved? Are a lot of other people having similar problems?
