Why Firefox not Sync will automatically showing unknown error?

why Firefox not Sync will automatically showing unknown error?

How long has been this happening? Have you tried again?
I will encourage you to use the recommendations on this article whenever Sync returns Unknown errors for a long period of time.
[[Firefox Sync is not working]]
Sometimes it's just as simple as a connection issue between your computer and the servers.

  • I get the error message in Firefox 5 "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

    Hello Firefox support. I just started working on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine running Firefox 5 and am constantly getting the following Sync error: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I can't find an accurate solution on the web. Please help!

    Exact same error message here here. Haven't checked our other systems. This one is:
    * Firefox 5
    * Canonical 1
    * Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS

  • "Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

    Hi,
    I want to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I have an issue with the Sync feature.
    It always shows the following error: "Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
    I already tried this workaround but it did not work: delete my Sync account, completely reset my Firefox profile, import my Chrome bookmarks (using an HTML file), setup a new Sync account (using the same address email then the previously deleted one).
    But I still get the error message.
    I've seen in other threads that it could be an issue with the history so I also tried to delete it but it did not work either.
    Here is my last sync-log file: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8219943
    Thanks for your help.

    I've finally found a solution to that Sync issue:
    I downloaded the "Places Maintenance" add-on and run the integrity check routine and it seems to have fixed the issue.

  • FF16 always fails to sync, it always shows "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this."

    I'm having this problem since few releases ago, whenever I start FF, it always fails to sync, showing this line on the bottom "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this action". First thought that the prob was incorrect credentials, but I can freely log-in https://account.services.mozilla.com I tried unlinking and linking my device again, it still happens.
    I waited thinking that they'll fix this, from a release to another, today updated to the last version and it still happened.

    Awaiting reply,
    Thanks.

    I am having this problem with FF 19.0.2 on Win 7 Pro. The sequence of events is:
    1. Start Firefox. Get the error bar about incorrect account name or password EVERY time. I close the bar. If I wait a while and then ask FF to try again the error bar reappears.
    2. Click on preferences from the bar, and get a dialog "Your password was rejected by the server, please update your password." I click "update" and then am prompted for the master password for the security device. I enter that and am presented with an "update password" dialog.
    3. Enter my old password and click "update password." Receive error message "Password incorrect, please try again." I click update again and get the message "Your password has been changed."
    4. However now Sync no longer seems to be set up. I go through the setup ritual again, and find I am back where I started.
    I have cleared cookies, tried everything in safe mode, and unlinked and relinked the computer. I have verified I have the right password entered at [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ https://account.services.mozilla.com/] None of this helped. The problem is still there, even in safe mode.

  • In my i cloud contacts show only 98 but in my i phone thay show 1400 . why thay not sync with i cloud,

    in my i cloud contacts show only 98 but in my i phone thay show 1400 . why thay not sync with i cloud,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Firefox sync gives me an unknown error when attempting to sync.

    I am trying to sync Firefox 4 between two different windows machines. I set up a sync account on one, and then add the other computer as another device. As many times as I try this, only one computer will sync, and the other give me the error: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action. I have had no luck resolving this and would love some advice.

    I have the same issue with the nightly and aurora versions. Firefox 11 works fine.

  • I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

    Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
