HI woody63, I understand that you get "Unknown account", does that account sign in correctly at accounts.firefox.com? If not, you are on the older version of sync. Unattach all devices and create a new account on the new server:

If you are not, unattach the working device and try to login there as well to make sure that the account has not been changed.
