I have successfully setup Firefox sync on my home computer. I now wish to add my work computer to Firefox sync so both machines will have bookmarks synced. The Firefox instructions on adding a computer to Firefox Sync say to click on the sync tab in Tools\Options. But there is no sync tab in Tools\Options. How can I add my work pc to Firefox Sync?

Chosen solution

The Sync tab only appears if the Firefox Sync add-on has been installed, or you are using the Firefox 4 beta builds. It sounds like you need to install the Firefox Sync add-on on the work computer.

If you have installed the Firefox Sync extension then you may need to go to Tools > Addo-ons > Extensions and click the Option button of the Firefox Sync extension entry.
