"Unlink this device" hangs when attempting to set up new sync

Firefox's old sync was clunky but extremely useful. I can't get the new sync to work at all, which is not at all useful. Basically, I've gone to Settings > Options > Sync > Unlink this device. That displays a very large dialog box with just one very short statement on it which reads "Determining your account status ..." Apparently, that task takes a very long time indeed because I've let it sit there for two days, and it's still determining my account status. I can click OK or Cancel, and the dialog box will go away. Then, if I go back to Settings > Options > Sync, it doesn't even give me a chance to tell it I want to unlink. Instead it goes directly to the dialog box stating that it's still determining my account status.

I would very much like to be able to sync Firefox across a couple of computers. Is there any way to do that?

hello larry, is this problem still occurring? unfortunately there has been a downtime of the sync service just in the time where you had posted your question...

I just tried, and all is the same. Still sticks at "Determining your account status..."

more options

Larry, are there any errors in the console if you do this?

  • Quit Firefox
  • Launch Firefox
  • Open the Browser Console
  • Open Sync preferences

If so, please copy and paste them here.

Here's what I got with the browser console:

It looks like your password database isn't being accessed correctly.

Larry, are you using an add-on that saves your passwords somewhere else (Lastpass, 1Password, Keychain Services Integration, etc.)? about:support has a "Copy text to clipboard" button you can use if you just want to dump it here.

Do you have a master password set?

more options

I use RoboForm. It does have a master password set, although RoboForm allows you to save passwords without protecting them with the master password, so I rarely use it. I don't believe I've ever used the Firefox password "feature," nor would I ever want to. I'd just as soon disable it.

more options

I'm pretty confident in pointing the finger at RoboForm. It's not correctly implementing the nsILoginManagerStorage interface, so Sync isn't able to determine if Sync is set up.

You should be able to work around this by disabling RoboForm, setting up Sync, then re-enabling it.

I suggest you disable password sync if you have RoboForm enabled, because (a) it will probably fail for the same reason, and (b) RoboForm has its own password sync functionality.

Unfortunately, I've tried disabling RoboForm and restarting Firefox. That made no difference at all. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if its all worth it. I mostly keep Firefox around because of Firebug and its utility in Web development. As for actual browsing, I've just finished doing extensive testing on multiple machines and multiple browsers. Firefox is soooooooooooooo much slower than Chrome (20% or more), that it's virutally useless for browsing. Now that it's got so many new features, it may not be worth it.

One of your add ons may be causing this, if you disable add on syncing, does the issue continue?
