1417065 - Setting up sync shows that the confirmation e-mail was not received

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect)

Description

[est31]

I just did the following:

1. Download Firefox 57 to an existing device
2. Set up sync by:
2.1. going to the preferences menu, clicking the top most entry
2.2. mozilla run web site opens where I enter email and password for my already existing sync account
2.3. tapping on the confirmation button on the phone's keyboard
2.4. the web site tells you that there is a confirmation e-mail outstanding
3. Confirm the request by
2.1. receive that e-mail on the desktop
2.2. open the confirmation link in Firefox on the desktop
2.3. The web site on the smartphone tells you that the confirmation e-mail was received, everything went well
4. Visit the preferences menu, click on the top most entry again

Against my expectations I was shown a red message that the confirmation e-mail has not been received yet and that the account is uncorfirmed.

I've then tapped on the "sync now" button, and it successfully synced. After the sync was over, the red message disappeared.

This is a small and subtle bug, but a bug nevertheless.
