Just installed Firefox Browser on my android phone. I want to sync it with Firefox on my desktop. I followed the instructions, to set up sync and was given the code to enter on my device. Instructions say to open the home page on the device and click on the "Sync" link, found on the homepage. There is no link, as shown, on my "homepage", (there is no homepage really. To get a homepage, I must type "about:home" into the url bar). Tried going to help, on the device but, this leads to the instructions, not the actual BUTTON to do it. :(

Do these steps in Firefox on your Android

  • Tap the Set up Firefox Sync button on the Firefox Start page.
  • Tap the "Advanced setup..." link.
  • Next, enter your Account Name (email address), Password, Recovery Key and tap "Connect".


NOTE:-

You can also access Sync through the main menu More > Settings > Sync, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-started-firefox-android#w_where-are-all-of-the-controls

The problem is, there is no "Setup Firefox Sync" button, nor is there a "Firefox Start Page"...

Hi gingerichkr , 

     Check this out :-

  Android OS > Settings > Accounts > Firefox Sync > Pair a new Device

Both devices need to be online at the same time if you want to pair a device with the (3x4) 12-character code. Sync needs to be set up and working on at least one (desktop) computer, so you can enter the 12-character code, provided by the device (computer) that you want to pair, in three fields to pair a device on the computer that has a working Sync setup. Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible. 

  open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
  click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
  click "I Have an Account" : Connect
  click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key)
