Firefox Sync can't connect behind Zscaler proxy

Last week the enterprise I work in changed their proxy to a Zscaler one. With the previous proxy I could use Firefox Sync without any trouble but since that it seems I can't use Sync anymore.
The error that shows says "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this action" but I'm 100% sure that both account name and password are right because I haven't changed them and they work in my computer at home.
In my Firefox Preferences > Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings I'm using "Use system proxy settings" as I always did (tried with our PAC file in "Automatic proxy configuration URL" but haven't had any luck too), have all the Zscaler certificates installed and can browser to any allowed site.
The result of the last about:sync-log file is the following: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8831301
Anyone can help me?

The logs provided might not be enough to determine what is happening on the proxy side. It was mentioned that the proxy might be refusing to send an auth header or something, but that's largely invisible to Firefox sync servers. It seems you already got the message to cordinate with rfkelly to find the request in logs to make sure.
Comparing this to your timestamp in the proxy on your network may reveal. Go to the #sync channel or we can file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org and needsinfo rfkelly with this troubleshooting information for more details. Please respond with any questions about this, we are happy to assist.

    thanks

    I tried it but its not working. I am using XMLSocket

    It returns "no response from server", It works fine if i
    directly connected to internet.

  • "Safari can't connect to the proxy server"

    Hello again...
    My 10.6 Server is up and running! thanks for all the help...however...
    When I try to access the internet via Safari from the actual server, I get the "Safari can't connect to the proxy server" message" but all the client machines can successfully access the internet....
    I'll start to read up on proxies but if someone can offer a suggestion in the meantime, that would be terrific. I know it's something simple I am missing...
    thanks!

    No snarkiness taken Mr. Hoffman...As a full-time high school teacher, I've been setting up our small school server on my own time for the past three months...with the help of the server docs, manuals, and the great help found within this forum, we are finally to a point where we can begin using the server.
    What I'm just not understanding is WHAT proxy do I use? I see all kinds of proxy servers out there but is there a specific one I should be using?
    Again, forgive me for my ignorance on this matter...I just don't understand why after a year of not using a proxy server, all of a sudden we need to have one? And this issue came about when Safari was unable to "connect to the proxy server"...

    When IT folks (or parents) are looking to monitor or control or track network access.
    up to this point I don't believe we were using a proxy server?
    2) A proxy "regulates" what traffic is passed between machines?
    A proxy can enforce access, or can cache access, yes.
    So no proxy in effect means traffic goes unchecked between computers...?
    Correct.
    do we HAVE to use a proxy server with the server?
    3) Where does a proxy take effect? At the Router/Gateway? The Server? or >individual machines?

    Enabling a proxy server on the snow leopard server should help us out...but again, which address do I use? (in the server doc you referenced, it had "proxyserver.apple.com:8080")but I think that was just the format to use...
    Without intending any snark, read the manuals? Servers are big and complex >and expect an understanding of much more than the client boxes do; that's the >inherent difference between "server computing" and "client computing", after >all.
    I'm definitely appreciating how much involvement and understanding it takes to get one of these set up...and over the past three months, we've come a long way...
    again, thanks for the guidance and help!

  • In Firefox sync can you have more than 2000 history pages sync to the Firefox Home app (for idevices)?

    I set up Firefox sync today with Firefox 4.0b7 (Firefox 4 Beta 7) and my ipod touch (Firefox Home app). I got it to sync and it synced almost everything except for my history. It did sync 2000 pages of my history but I checked and I have way more than that. So I wanted to know: Is 2000 pages of history the limit for syncing?

    @kalos
    Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
    No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
    Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
    Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
    I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

  • Firefox Sync can't setup; can't see sync server

    I've allowed mozilla.com, .net, and .org. but Sync says it can't see the server when I try to create an account.

  • New Firefox Sync can't proceed beyond verification link

    Verification emails are received successfully, but the link to confirm my email address consistently results in a "Verification link damaged" page, regardless of whether I click on the link, manually copy/paste it, etc. This is preventing me from successfully creating a Firefox Sync account.

    Right, but the issue (as I said) is currently with Firefox for Android (latest version from Play Store), which at that point was returning a "Could not sign in" error, and now is simply crashing whenever I attempt to access the "Sync" settings option.
    Whatever the case, the original issue (regarding verification failing) seems to be resolved now. I'll just fiddle with the mobile app and see if I can get it to behave properly. Thanks.

  • Firefox sync can I sync my smart TV to my pc

    I've got Windows 7 Home Premium and a all-in-one desktop pc (Inspiron one 2020, 4 GB RAM, 64-bit operating system and I'm wondering if I can sync my pc with my Samsung smart tv.

    I'm guessing this is close to the model TV that you have. <br />
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE32ES5500KXXU-spec
    Under '''Smart TV Functionality''' in the right column - '''Web Browser available''' and '''Samsung Apps available''' - can you access those Apps and see if Firefox is offered as an App that can be installed?

  • Firefox Sync not staying connected.

    Every single time I reopen Firefox, I have to set up my Sync account again by typing in my username, password, and Sync key. I was under the impression that the Sync account would stay connected. Does anybody else know of this problem and how to fix it?

    Just to add that I have this issue as well on Win7 x64.
    Thinking that it might be a profile issue (maybe conflict with some leftover files from FF3 or other extensions), I created a new FF profile with the same problem.
    Also tried starting FF4 as an admin with no use.
    Tried everything but the FF Sync setting is "forgotten" each time it is closed.

  • Firefox suddenly can't connect to the Internet (Address Not Found)

    OK, so I recently bought a netbook (Asus eeePC) and put Arch on it to dual-boot. I took it with me on a business trip last week, and I was so impressed with Arch I decided to put it on my desktop today (I had used Arch before, but not for a long time). So, as I was chugging along, I pulled up Firefox on my netbook (it's handy to have a secondary computer while installing Linux), and it gave me an "Address Not Found" error when pulling up Google. Firefox had been working just fine (wired or wireless Internet) for all of last week, and I haven't changed anything.
    What's extremely strange is that everything else works. I could pull up Google in Lynx, and I was listening to an Internet radio station (Groove Salad) using cmus, and it worked just fine. Figuring it was just a fluke, I kept going and discovered that I had the same problem on the Desktop once I got around to gettting Xorg and Fluxbox working and after I installed Firefox. It's very strange - the computers are quite different (the netbook is running i686, and the desktop is running x86_64). I have a home file/web server running Gentoo, and I'm able to run Firefox on it using ssh/X-Forwarding, and it works just fine. I can also pull up my server on Firefox on both the Laptop and the Desktop (just on the LAN, not the Internet). I also tried installing SeaMonkey on the netbook just to see, and I got the same results - it can't access Google or anything. Both computers are dual-booting Windows XP and Arch, and Firefox works on Windows for both computers.
    This might be the strangest error I've ever run into on Linux - I'm not sure what to do next to diagnose the issue. I'll gladly post any information anyone thinks is relevant. Any ideas?

    It's definitely a DNS issue. I tried as Statix suggested above and it worked after a little tweaking. I went back and checked my modem, and it listed two DNS servers. I put those in resolv.conf manually and they worked too. My router or modem (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.254 respectively) should each be able to handle DNS on their own, but for some reason they aren't. I know it works; Windows XP and Gentoo both set their nameservers to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.254 using DHCP and have no issues. When I tried DHCP on Arch, these were the relevant sections of rc.conf:
    eth0="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth0)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    I tried using ROUTES=(gateway) as well (no effect). When I did that, DHCP automatically set my resolv.conf to:
    # Generated by dhcpcd
    # /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
    nameserver 192.168.1.254
    nameserver 192.168.0.1
    # /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
    So changing the eth0 line in rc.conf to:
    eth0="eth0 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    And putting the nameservers in resolv.conf from the values my modem listed works, but it shouldn't be necessary. I'd rather have it send DNS requests to the router or modem like my other systems work, but at least I have a workaround for the time being. My time is a bit limited, but I'll keep looking into it when I have the chance and post whatever I find. If anyone has any other ideas, I'd appreciate it though. Thanks!

  • N70 should sync - "can't connect" HELP

    I have the latest Mac OS X and the latest iSync 2.3. It should be able to sync with Nokia N70, Apple's website confirms this. However, after I've paired the phone with my iMac, and try to add device to iSync, it finds it but says: "iSync cannot connect to this device".
    Why?! Help please, I bought this phone because of its supposed sync ability!
    Thank you!

    Not automatically!
    You must first pair it with your computer, in iSync's "Add Device".
    Then you must configure it with iSync, see the manual if you have not done that before. But it's easy!
    After doing that and restarting both the phone and iMac, I've had no problems, contacts and calendar sync perfectly.
    And you must have OS 10.4.7 and iSync 2.3

  • Just updated to Firefox 8, can only connect 1 User at a time, how can I fix this so both users can connect to Firefox at the same time??

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 8. I have 2 user accounts on my computer. Since the upgrade, only 1 user can access Firefox at a time. I am able to use IE on 1 and Firefox on the other. I have to close Firefox on 1 user before I can open it on the 2nd.

    I also have gone back to V 7, which fixed the issue. I have stopped the automatic updates so the issue doesn't hapen again.

  • AAD Sync can't connect to forest

    Hi, I'm installing a new AADsync for a customer, but when I try to connect to the customer's forest (third step of the install/config of AADSync) I got this error : "the
    specified forest does not exist or cannot be contacted".
    Pretty sure that the forest is correct, I'm pretty sure that I'm able to connect to it. I tryed to install AD users and computers on the same server where I'm running AADSync
    , and I'm able to connect to the forest with the same account without any problem. I tryed to force to use a different domain controller. I tryed to install on a different server/different OS. Nothing, I changed the user to connect to the forest too. Nothing,
    It's not connecting. 
    Any idea please? We are really worried since we cannot understand why we are having this situation.

    Hi, sorry for the long delay in replying. We took our time to check everything.
    We opened an SR to MS, asking if its possible, using cmd commands or powershell, to put a filter during the installation. We based our question to MS on the fact that to install AADSync with full SQL you have to do it usign command line.
    MS replied that its something by design and cannot be changed in any way.
    The customer had some reason to open another SR with Premier Support and opened it. We are waiting for a reply (that I think, will be not different for the first one).
    I think that the only way to do it is to use FIM and not AADSync, but off course you have to do create all the rules and all connectors from scratch.
    Or, convince the customer to open all firewall ports for each child domain, off course.

  • Firefox Sync cannot connect to server

    Firefox Desktop 12.0 on Win7 HP 64bit
    Firefox Mobile 14.0 on Android 4.0.3 (didn't work on 2.3.6 either)
    Hello,
    I'm trying to set up Sync between my Firefox Mobile and Desktop. On the mobile, I tap on "Sync" and get the three alphanumerical codes. I enter them on my desktop Firefox, the both browsers communicate with the server. The desktop browser says "Device connected" and the mobile browser says "Firefox Sync could not connect to server".
    What else can I try?
    Greetings, Jost

    Do you have Firefox mobile Aurora or Nightly builds installed and Syncing? The rewrite as a Android Service resulted in Sync only working with one instance of Firefox at a time.

  • On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy".

    On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to a proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy". I have to manually go to "network settings" and set it to "no proxy" every time I start Firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
