Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20180104101914 Steps to reproduce: 1) Setup a firefox sync account. 2) Enable all syncing options. 3) Add some data (bookmarks etc.). 4) Go to a new machine or use a new profile. Repeat steps 1 -3 using the same credentials. Actual results: Sync accepted my credentials and did not indicate I had an existing account and it was active. This resulted in a bunch of old data being pulled into my newer profile. Expected results: The user should be informed that an account exists with those credentials and it will be used instead.
