I recently used the firefox sync to sync all the bookmarks history as well as the password details.

I was also able to retrieve the information on another machine as the old machine was dumped. Now when i try to look at the options tab, after i do the sync, i cant see the Security tab where i can see or manage passwords. What I see is only the General tab asking for sync?

How can i restore or enable these features?

Hi, When you say "What I see is only the General tab asking for sync? " Is the same General tab in the Options menu?

The View Passwords is generally under Options > Security > Saved Passwords

It is possible to check that the new device has the sync account attached in the Sync Tab in Options. If you already did please ignore this option.
