Hi,

It seems like something is not working properly in your account. Please, file a bug so the developers can track and fix what's happening.

Ok so nothing on here and no one assigned to bug as every day goes by the problem gets bigger - the worst thing about Sync is support.

Fixed it myself - Backed up profile - on my work mac I unticked each sync setting in preferences > restarted FF > ticked one on at a time and forced a sync. Worked ok - got home > opened FF (no problems)
