I've noticed my open tabs do not sync automatically like it does when I move from desktop to my Android device. Example scenario to explain this better:

I'm on my desktop Firefox with several open tabs. Then I pick up my Android device (4.2 Jelly Bean) and open Firefox Android, and I go to open new tab and chose the "Sync" menu, unfortunately the tabs it shows from my desktop device are not up to date at all.

In fact the only way I've found to sync up these tabs is to go on my Android device under Sync -> Firefox Sync -> Menu Button -> Sync Now. Then my tabs update perfect, but shouldn't this just happen automatically, or at least from a "Sync Now" button right in Firefox Android? Am I completely missing something obvious?

Thanks!!

Hello all,

There *are* some articles here that will help solve a little bit of this, but I need a more comprehensive approach. Can someone here tell me what the purpose of .mkdir.done files are?? I have Vista 64-bit and I don't see any profile dirs or profile files in the FF dirs. I do however have a "sessionstore" subdir but there is nothing in it. Can I get a little bit of an explanation of how this whole process works? What I'm looking at here is storing session data in an external program in Windows. e.g. - open what I want, when I want it. see, that way I can specify what I want just by manipulating data (encrypted or otherwise) if I know that there is a static process that's always involved with opening previous session tabs.

thanks!
