How long does it take for Firefox Sync to see new opened tabs?

So I have quite a few tabs open on my phone in Firefox that I want to sync to my computer. However, I noticed that some of the newer tabs don't appear in the sidebar after auto syncing and manually syncing. I don't want to close the tabs in my phone until I'm sure sync sees them all so I can pull to my computer. How long does it usually take for sync to see the newer ones?

Just to clarify: The issue seems to only be happening on my computer. The android version of Firefox has no issues updating the synced tabs immediately.
