I set up Sync on my new phone using the old one. New phone still does not have bookmarks, etc. Tried removing the sync info and going through set up a new device a couple of times, but that did not work either.

  1. Go to Settings > Sync > + add account
  2. Select Firefox Sync account
  3. Once verified, tap "Sync Now"
  1. or if its a new account add the deprecated firefox account and choose advanced setup. How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?

In order to manage what to sync in about:accounts in the newer version of sync, however this is not available for the old sync. Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more
