Firefox syncs on all but one of my computers can't figure out why

I have 5 computers all with firefox 29 on them all using the same firefox account, all seem to sync up fine except this one firefox 29 that is signed into the same firefox acct but the bookmarks are pretty old and not updating regularly like the other browsers all seem to do.

The computer in question is actually a mac with windows installed via bootcamp, once I signed into my firefox acct it brought up bookmarks but the newest added ones which do show up on the other 4 computers are just not syncing or showing up on this mac/windows/bootcamp broswer and it's kind of driving me batty as to why it's not working.

I even went so far as to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but still it gives me bookmarks that I do use and have they are just from an earlier time and not showing the more recently added bookmarks (very strange).

I really hope someone can give me a few suggestions as to why this might be happening or better yet how to fix it.

Do you have sync set up in the installation of Windows and Mac on the bootcamped computer? Sync will treat it as separate afaik

I do have firefox installed on both the mac side and windows side separately, the mac side syncs fine, the windows side just sits and doesn't sync i can't figure out why that windows side won't sync up, if I hit sync or even update firefox it "acts" like it will and it is showing firefox 29.1 i think it is now (same as other machines even the mac side) just that sync of the bookmarks and whatnot isn't updating.
