Often it's helpful to provide diagnostic log data in bugs to help a developer fix an issue. Here are some tips:

Desktop

goto about:config
In the filter field type 'sync.log'
Context click on pref and set it as:
- services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess to True
- services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks to Trace
In Firefox, go here: about:sync-log

You can also open the console to view errors: Tools > Web Developer > Web Console

How to force reauthentication

When you reset password this will cause all other devices to reauthenticate. To force that, edit this file:

<profile location>/<some chars>.<profile name>/signedInUser.json

Mac:

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profilesm/4g2ivti.my_test_profile/signedInUser.json

Android

For advanced users:
- Install Android Debugging Tools: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- put adb in your path so you can call it from anywhere.
- Run this:

 adb setprop log.tag.FxSync VERBOSE
 adb setprop log.tag.FxAccounts VERBOSE
 adb setprop log.tag.FxAccountSyncAdapter VERBOSE

- Run this

adb logcat | grep -in 'account'
