The icon of sync seems always trying to connect to the server

Question

when I start firefox with Sync installed I got at the lower right corner the message "connecting" and the two arrows turning for ever.
In tools menu Sync said that it is connected
If I open a second firefow windows the sync symbol of connected is visible.
How I can avoid this annoying first erreur of Sync, a standard desativation and re-activation has done nothing???

Answer 1

Then try this:
Open Windows Explorer and change your settings so that you can see hidden files (Start, Run, Explorer [press enter] / Select Tools, Folder Options, View, Select "Show hidden files and folders" and click OK.)
Next, navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\youruserprofile\Local Settings\Application Data\".
Is there a folder with an unusual name? Open that folder.
Is there a dll file with the same name as the folder that when you right-click and select delete, you get an error message "Access denied" and thus, you are unable to remove?
That's probably the culprit. Right down the name of the file.
Now, run regedit (Start, Run, Regedit and press enter)
Before doing anything! Back up your registry!
File, Export, Export Range is ALL (this selects ENTIRE registry), give it a meaningful name like "myreg-todaysdate.reg" and click Save.
Select F3 and enter the name of the file (without the dll) and press Enter.
You should end up in MyComputer\USERS\S-1-5(thisvariesfrompctopc)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
On the right side, you should see the registry entry. Highlight that entry and delete it.
Exit the registry and restart the computer and start pressing the F8 key. When the menu pops up, select Safe Mode.
Log into windows (if you unable to log in with your own credentials, try Administrator with no password or Administrator with the password you entered when you first set your computer up - yep -way back then).
Now, navigate to that folder again and see if you can delete that file. You should be able to now. Might as well as delete the folder too.
Reboot your computer normally.
Let me know what happens, but with me, it stopped searching for that infamous IP address.
