I have signed on the sync, I have code but don't seem to be able to enter it on my other devices
Running W7 on PC and Laptop and have Android and all successfully signed on to sync. the PC has generated the 12digit code, but I just can't find how to pair the devices I have tried the Mozilla help, but my computers don't appear to have the same screen and can't get the option to pair devices

Firefox 29.0 and later use the new Sync version that use a Firefox account and only use the name and password and no longer use a separate Sync (recovery) key (the sync key is automatically derived from the password).
This version is completely different from the version previously and you need to install Firefox 29.0 or later versions on all connected devices.
You can enter the name and password of the Mozilla account on other devices that have a Firefox 29.0 or later version to add extra devices.
The new Sync version used in Firefox 29 and later will still use a recovery key to encrypt data locally before uploading, but this recovery key is generated internally from the password of the Firefox account, so you no longer need to worry about it.

Thank you very much for the info. I suppose that is the danger of looking at old solutions to the problem. thanks again.
