Clicking "Get started" when trying to Sign in to Sync on Portable FF, I get a blank screen. It works on installed FF. What can I do to get it to work portably?

Portable Firefox: 1. I click on the "hamburger icon" in the top right 2. I click "Sign in to Sync" 3. I click "Get started" 4. I get a blank screen with no option to create new or log in to existing account.

Installer Firefox or Firefox Mobile: 1-3: Same as above 4. I get the form to sign up and enter my credentials 5. I don't get an activation e-mail

I've fixed the first problem, seeing a blank screen. This was due to Third party cookies. Apparently those has to be accepted.

But I still don't get any e-mail links to verify my account. I've tried to resend a couple of times from the Android app and from the portably installed version on Windows. I've also created a second account without any luck to be able to verify.

Make sure that you allow cookies for the accounts.firefox.com domain if you aren't allowing cookies generally or use the 'Ask me' cookie setting.

I know. That's what I found out when I enabled all third party cookies like I mentioned in my reply to my own post.

But it still leaves me with the problem that e-mail verifications are never sent to me. Quite an important part of making Sync work...
