Failure to Sync after MFA and Verification
Recently I had un/reinstalled my firefox via snap and apt from linux. I'm signed into my account yet locally I'm not getting data to sync across devices. Any idea?

My issue has seemingly resolved it's self, I'm on an older Iphone yet my issue centers around the verification mechanism which seemingly had sent a 'stream' of verification codes having no means of readily confirming the prior had expired. Account login verification mechanisms and firefox sync from my perspective weren't linking.
Great. Mark it as resolved and have a nice day.
