When attempting to sync my data on my android device it doesn't do anything. I'm currently in the account settings on my phone and when I hit "sync now" it just does nothing.

What other device are you syncing with? FYI... Firefox Sync IS NOT A DATA BACKUP SERVICE

I'm attempting to sync with my desktop pc so windows I also have a second android device but that one syncs just fine. The information I'd like to get is the open tabs on my desktop.

Yes I've used the sync feature extensively before, my issue is that for some reason it is no longer working. I have sat with that screen open and it never shows anything.

Having the same issue. Last Sync on Android was over 2 days ago, and pressing "Sync now" does nothing.

New bookmarks and logins on Android aren't synced to Desktop, and vice versa.
