My Firefox Sync is set on 2 unit, but nothing is syncing

more options

The Mozilla Support instructions state that one needs to be on the new version of Sync in order for devices to share information with each other. I already have the latest versions of Firefox (33.1.1) on both my Origin Laptop and my Surface Pro 3 (both with Windows 8.1), but there is no syncing, i.e., no movement of bookmarks, folders, etc. when managing same on either unit. Please let me know specifically what needs to be done get each unit to sync with each other. Thank you.

Accessing that link was the first action I took. The first item in that link (I set up Firefox Sync but nothing is syncing) is the issue. Please read my first sentence of my original question. I cited the instructions contained in that first item (I set up Firefox Sync but nothing is syncing) in that I already have the latest versions (33.1.1) of Firefox on both my devices. (The instructions state that both devices need to be on the new version of Sync in order to share information with each other). I presume that since I have the latest versions of Firefox on both devices, I also have the latest versions of Sync.

Type about:sync-progress in the Location Bar of each of your Firefox installation and hit Enter.

What does it say?

If "complete", then the same with about:sync-log and see if there were any sync logs generated.

You can post the contents of those logs here - http://pastebin.mozilla.org/ - and provide the resultant URL (after hitting Send) here so that someone here can review them

O.K. I sent the logs and the resultant URLs. The logs I sent were indicated as errors, which is probably why the syncing is not occurring. Awaiting results of the review of the logs. Thank you.

Please let me know if you received the logs and the resultant URLs. I need to have the Firefox sync working. Thank you.

You need to post the hyperlinks to the pastebin pages here.

What hyperlinks and what do you mean by "...to the pastebin pages here"?
