Could not sign in, or get new password with old account. Tried password recovery, but never received email from Firefox. Created new account and new password. Now I get "Unexpected Error" message, and I am unable to sign in.

Please fix. I am using a USB modem with a static IP address in a different state on my desktop computer, and I want to correct my location. (I'm in CA, but my static IP creates the illusion I am in ID.) I thought that I would sync my Samsung phone where I live, so Google would get my precise location -- but now that I cannot sync, this won't work.

But we're dealing with different time zones, and it's weekend - it may take a while, so please, hang in there.

Right now it worked for me. @mcgillycuddy you could try again too. @McCoy thanks for your support

@McCoy, the sync service now works, I can now see all my tabs from other devices as well. If you need some help spreading the news, and I can help in any way, let me know.

I'm so glad that everything's back to normal  !

If you need some help spreading the news, and I can help in any way, let me know.

I 'spread the news' (34 times - phew  !) about 12 hours ago ......

But thank you so much for offering to help - that is so sweet of you  !

I like to help when I can. Would have offered yesterday, but I was up for over 20 hours, I basically fall asleep after the sync was up.
