Automatic sync not working on Firefox Android?

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!!

I rebooted my HP desktop computer, then reopened Firefox. I had 3 separate tab groups with lots of tabs in them, but everyone of them was gone. I closed the FF, then reopened it again (hoping this might correct it), but no change. I tried the restore previous session in History, but it just gave me what the previous one had - which weren't my tabs.

I worked hard to collect these & I want them all restored. Just because I rebooted shouldn't cause me such trouble!

I tried all suggestions and finally uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the Mozilla Site. This is definitely downloading from Mozilla, and I do not understand why. How can I really get rid of it and/or can Mozilla register a complaint with Bing? I don't know but it is annoying as all hell. I really dislike Bing.

When I tried to open firefox it automatically updated and supressed the sessionstore.js file. I saved the sessionstore.bak into another folder, closed mozilla, changed the extension bak to js in the "profiles" folder of firefox and opened it again but nothing happened. Though the sessionstore.bak file is 13Ko big and seems to contain all the links of my previous session.

How could I force Firefox to start a session using the information in the sessionstore.bak or .js file as it should?

I have set my home page in Tools > Options > General. When I open a new tab, I am shown thumbnails of different sites I have visited. I have gone to about:config and changed browser.newtab.url to about:home as I saw suggested elsewhere.

When I open a new tab, the behavior is the same. Only if I press the Home button do I get to my home page. How do I fix this?

Since upgrading to Firefox 21 when I click on links in emails in Outlook Express not all the links open new tabs, but when I attempt to close Firefox it says there are more tabs open than are being displayed. Firefox also becomes sluggish to non-responsive during these "evolutions". If I open Firefox first before clicking links in emails it does not display this behavior.
