Firefox Sync is not working between my phone and computer

I cannot get Firefox Sync to actually sync between Firefox on my iPhone and Firefox on my desktop computer. I've signed in and out multiple times and when I manually perform a sync, it will complete successfully, but when I look for synced tabs, they are empty on both my computer and iPhone.

I've googled everything that I can think of and none of these solutions have worked. It's been many versions of Firefox previous, but I seem to remember that it did work back when Firefox was first released on iOS.

Thanks for the assistance. I ended up deleting and reinstalling the iPhone Firefox browser and that appears to have at least helped the issue. I am now fairly consistently seeing the tabs from my phone in my computer browser. The only bug that I have left is occasionally it doesn't show all the open tabs that I have on my phone ( which is currently only about 4), it tends to only show 2 tabs. As I'm typing this though it is showing all of my open tabs.

What is strange is that I can consistently see all of my Desktop tabs open on the browser on my phone. Thanks again for the assistance, I'll go ahead and mark this one as solved.

This is all I have on Sync :

There is contact info in this and yes do have to create a account and wait : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-firefox-sync-verification-email-faq

You can open about:sync-log via the location bar to see if there are recent error logs available. You can upload a recent log if the log is too big to put in a reply. https://pastebin.mozilla.org/ Do know it can take awhile to get a answer.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
