My phone can't use Firefox Sync anymore, says it's "deprecated."
On my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze running Ice Cream Sandwich, I'm suddenly having trouble with Firefox Sync. It was working fine yesterday, and today, I noticed that an update to Firefox for Android was installed.
So I'm trying to send a tab from my phone straight to my computer, but no dice. I've already checked the "Accounts and sync" portion of my phone's settings. Firefox Sync is listed with the proper email address, and I haven't removed my phone from the list of allowed devices for my account. Oddly, Firefox Sync is shown as being deprecated. My phone literally shows my email address, and under it, "Firefox Sync (deprecated)".
Anybody else having this problem, and is there a fix for it? Any info would be much appreciated.

We decided in Firefox 29 we weren't satisified with the user-experience and temporarily decided to no ship it with Firefox 29. We hope to have it back in a future release.

Send tab to device is only available on Firefox for Android Nightly, https://nightly.mozilla.org
So, sending a tab from my phone to my PC worked yesterday with the standard build, but is now somehow a Nightly-specific feature? Why? It doesn't make any sense.

Hi dmetras,
Sorry for the confusion, but I couldn't think of a better way to do this. The reason your phone now says
email Firefox Sync (deprecated)
is 'cuz your account is the old Firefox Sync type, not the new Firefox Account type, and Firefox Sync is deprecated. It'll still work just fine, but we're letting you know that it's not the new thing.
Hi all:
Send Tab was re-added back to Firefox for Android in FF 29.0.1 as "Send Tab to Devices"
Therefore, I am going to close this question. Please ask a new question if you have further issues
