Firefox confirms sign-in, but sync does not work and Firefox will continue asking for additional sign-in as if I had never signed in.

Even though confirmed within Firefox, the account sign-in does not appear to be "sticking." Sync does not work and the device does not show up on my device list. I DO get confirmations of the sign-up on the Firefox page AND via email. I have restarted the device and uninstalled, then reinstalled the Firefox app. My sync account works fine on my desktop and phone, but not my tablet, where these odd behaviors are taking place.

Hi

Have you received any verification email in respect of the new device and sign in?

more options

Yes. Verification email came, I entered the code, it said, in essence, "you are verified," then proceeded not to sync and to re-ask for log-in. I did this multiple times, including after uninstalling/re-installing newest version of the browser app.

Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox for Android?

more options

Only the "Default 1.0" theme that was auto-installed.. No other add-ons.
