How can I tell whether IT/ISP has blocked firefox syncing?

Starting this week, Firefox syncing doesn't seem to work anymore at a particular place I visit every weekday. I mean, I can still log into my Firefox account, but nothing syncs: not extensions nor passwords nor bookmarks, even if they all have check marks next to them in about:preferences?entrypoint=fxa_app_menu#sync.

Is there a test I can run to see what's going on behind the scenes? Thanks.

Enter about:sync-log in the URL bar. There should be some recent error logs.

I'm not very familiar with sync logs, but there are mostly "login failed" msgs.

Try to log out and log in with full login/password.

Hi Ty, logging out and logging in with full login and password didn't help, unfortunately. :(
