I have my 2nd computer set up for sync, but it's not showing the tabs/bookmarks from the first computer. I've clicked 'Sync now' on 2nd machine and that doesn't make all the tabs appear. Any thoughts?

I set up sync on my home computer (desktop pc). I then set it up on my iPhone and it worked perfectly - showing me all the open tabs I had from the home computer.

I just bought a MacBook Pro and want to get all my tabs/bookmarks etc on the mac, from the home computer. I set up sync on the mac and paired the device and got the message saying it was syncing. However, none of my tabs or other data has come through to the mac.

Does it take a number of hours? (I've been waiting overnight). I've clicked 'sync now' on my mac hoping that would sync everything from the main home computer but that didn't open the tabs either.

Any thoughts?

Hi!

In order to view the tabs from other computers you need to go to "History" -> "Tabs from other computers". Or type "about:sync-tabs" into the address bar.

In other words, the tabs that you have in one computer or phone will not show up open in the rest of your devices but they accessible through that menu option.

I hope this clarifies the situation. I know that a lot of people expect the same behavior that you are describing but when we tried it it ended up not being optimal.

Thanks for the answer. I actually figured it out about an hour after posting, but I appreciate knowing that I had done the right thing.

It would be good to have a FAQ about this though, seeing others presumably have similar issues.
