Attachment: error-1353436722569.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121026114414

Steps to reproduce:

I have been using Sync for long time now, but recently first one of my Firefox'es (running on Fedora 16) refused to sync. Today I discovered that another Firefox running on a Centos 6.something also refuses to sync. I tried to manually sync on both machines with no success.


Actual results:

Sync refuses to keep my Firefox up2date


Expected results:

My firefox should have been sync'ed

Can you please try this with Firefox 17 (released today) and let is know if that fixes it? We fixed a similar issue in 806460 and I'm hoping this is that issue.

I'm not sure how long it takes Fedora to roll out their packages. If you don't want to wait, you can download the "official" builds from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all.html.

I've downloaded v 17 from testing repo. 

Problem remains the same.

Do you need any logs or otherwise from me, please do not hesitate to ask. Being a SW developer I can maybe gather information ordinary user cannot.
