Hi,
Two laptops and one phone using auth.services.mozilla.com accounts
service and self-hosted FFsync 1.5 server. Running fine for several
months until early July 2015.
One laptop and one phone are still syncing perfectly, but now the
self-hosted sync server URL on the second laptop is being overwritten by
defaults every time I try to sync.
Every time you perform a "disconnect" or "forget" in the Sync
preference, it does a full self-reset, which resets every preference
starting with "services.sync." to its default value. I suspect this is
happening, but it's not clear why from your description - once the pref
is reset you should then be able to change it and perform a new login
without it being changed.
(Note that in Firefox 42 via bug 1003708, you can also use a preference
"identity.sync.tokenserver.uri" to avoid exactly this problem, but
that's to help in the case where you do explicitly forget/reset rather
than due to a problem on initial signin)
Interestingly this also generates an e-mail entitled:
"A new device is now syncing to your Firefox Account"
However it is not a new device...
Yeah, we are changing the wording of that email :)
Any advice as to how to prevent Firefox or Ffsync from resetting to
defaults? I tried creating a new account but the behaviour is the same,
it immediately over-writes my custom URL with a Mozilla default.
As above, it's known to reset after disconnecting a previous account,
but not that it gets reset otherwise.
