Research direction

Start by reproducing the three-step sign-in flow with about:sync installed, then compare it with the behavior after closing and reopening the browser. Trace the add-on's response to Firefox Account sign-in and the "Sync will start momentarily" notification. Done means automatic sync starts within 10 seconds without restarting the browser.

Description

Via bug 1332698

STR:

  1. Create a fresh profile and add some bookmarks to it
  2. Sign in to Fx account
  3. Notification pops up "Sync will start momentarily"

Expected: Sync should start after 10 seconds of FxA sign-in

Actual: Sync doesn't start automatically

Note: When I close and reopen the browser sync starts momentarily. I have observed this issue several times.

This only happens with about:sync installed.
