Is it possible to return to the old Sync in Firefox, as new Sync is not working.
As new Sync is not working for me, despite setting it up entirely in accordance with the Mozilla Support website, and nobody has bothered to reply to earlier post today, is it possible to return to the old Sync?

The new version of Sync only works with the latest Firefox and you can't use both the old and new Sync at the same time. So in order to create a Firefox account and sign in to the new Sync you'll have to unlink all of your current devices from the old version of Sync.
Step 1: Unlink all of your devices from the old Sync
On a computer:
1.Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Preferences. 2.Select the Sync panel. 3.In the Sync panel click Unlink This Device. 4.Close the about:preferences page. Any changes you've made will automatically be saved. 5.Restart Firefox.
Step 2: Update all of your other devices to the latest Firefox
1.Update Firefox on computers.
Step 3: Create a Firefox account
On a computer:
1.Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Sign in to Sync and follow the instructions to create your account.
Step 4: Sign in to Sync on your other devices
On a computer:
1.Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Sign in to Sync. 2.Click Get Started and then choose the Already have an account? Sign in. link at the bottom.
The old version of Sync will continue to work, the latest version of Firefox doesn't support adding new devices to the old version of Sync. This means that you won't be able to sync with a new device.
