Details

Encountered during Firefox 41 beta 8 testing on Windows 10 64-bit.
Also reproducing with latest 43.0a1 Nightly.

Steps to reproduce:
(Pre-requisite: a "dirty" profile)
1. Open Firefox and go to about:preferences#sync
2. Select Create account and sign up for Firefox accounts.
3. Verify the account (from the e-mail).
4. Press the sync button (from the Menu Panel) or Tools-> Sync now.
5. Wait for ~1 minute and close Firefox.
6. Open Firefox with a new profile and log in with the same Firefox account in order to sync.

Expected Results:
The entire data is synced without any error.

Actual Results:
The sync is not working, no data is imported.
In about:sync-log, two error files were created. You can find them here: https://goo.gl/Gheu7Q


Notes:
This issue is not reproducing for older Firefox accounts, so it might be a server-side issue.
Also reproduced on Mac OS X 10.10.5 and Windows 7 64-bit.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: serious bug affecting sync in the case of newly created Firefox Accounts

Tracking for 43. It seems likely that 42 is also affected. 

Mark or Chris, can you investigate, or help us find a good owner for this bug?

One of the sync nodes, https://sync-248-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com seems to refusing connections.

:mostlygeek is investigating.

Rather, :jlaz is going to migrate the node.
:jlaz, do we have monitoring in place on the sync nodes to detect these kinds of problems?
Flags: needinfo?(jlaz)
Halfway done with the migration with roughly ~30k users left.  

Monitoring is in place and did detect the failed node, but I had missed the alert earlier, my apologies!

I will update the bug once the migration is complete
Flags: needinfo?(jlaz)
Migration completed.  Cornel, want to try Syncing once more?

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Setting FF41 and 43 status as fixed based on the fact that this was a sync server side issue and is now resolved.
status-firefox41: affected → fixed
status-firefox43: affected → fixed
I'm confirming this fix using latest Firefox 43.0a1, 42.0a2 and 41.0b8 across platforms (Windows 10 32bit & 64bit, Windows 7 64bit, Mac OS X 10.10.5 and Ubuntu 12.04 32bit).
The sync is now working as expected with both old/new Firefox accounts.

Thanks!
