Sync does not work

Sync does not work because Firefox keeps disconnecting my account "Account disconnected". It happens every time as I try to turn on syncing.

Firefox stores the credentials to login to the Sync account automatically in the logins.json file along with the other logins you possibly can save. This chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry with its password data in JSON format (kA and kB) is hidden from the Password Manager (about:logins). Are you possibly using ways to prevent Firefox from storing and keeping this JSON data in logins.json ?

Thanks for response, cor-el. I did not even know about existence of that file.

In case of issues, try to login to the Firefox Account via this website.

Thanks again, cor-el. I always login there. Still I have the same problem( please, see the attached picture).

As a test, can you download a different version of Firefox (Beta, Dev, or Nightly) and try to sync it?

The same story it is. It gets me disconnected instantly. Thanks for suggestion though.

Is there anything useful in the Browser Console ?

I do know what is useful, cor-el.

As you can see, the screenshot shows that there are errors with Sync and advise you to check Sync logs.

You can open about:sync-log via the location bar to see if recent Sync logs are available. You can upload the file to a website like Pastesite if you can't post the content of the file in a reply.
