Firefox Sync Sucks. I Disconnect From It Every 2 or 3 Minutes!

I'm really aggravated. I have the latest version of Firefox and I'm able to log into my Sync account without any problem, however, I'm disconnected from my Sync account every 2 or 3 minutes (without fail).

On the other hand I also use Waterfox (again, I have the latest browser) and it stays logged into my Firefox Sync account without any problem.

I'm actually thinking about switching over to Waterfox for good just for that reason, but Waterfox doesn't support Addons to the same degree that Firefox does... which is why I'm hoping that I can fix the problem in the Firefox browser.

Anyone have any suggestions?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
