I am set up to sync to my Nexus :) phone from my desktop. When I am away from the office, I will check my phone and it will say something like: Last sync at 9:00 am. Fire fox will be sitting open on my desktop the whole time while I am gone, but nothing has synced for hours. If I press the button in the menu (desktop) no problem. Do I have to click it before I leave my desktop? Is there a manual sync on Android? If there is I cant find it.

hello, a sync should be automatically triggered once you add a new bookmark or item - so ideally there is no need to sync manually . some details are available at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/Instant_Sync
