I can't see the icon of firefox Sync shown on the right bottom after upgrading Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 6.0, and I am not sure if it is working. Does anybody encounter the same problem and know the solutions?
I can see the icon if open "Option" under the menu "Tool", but when I look up in the "Add-on" under the same menu, I can't see Firefox Sync in the list. I don't know if the update of Firefox Sync for Firefox 6.0 is not ready or there is other problems which I don't know. I downloaded this add-on software a few times and set up, yet the problem was still there.

Firefox 4 and later version have Sync built-in, no add-on is necessary. The "icon" in the Statusbar that was used by the extension is gone, but there is a Sync toolbar button sitting in the Customize Palette which you can place on a toolbar where you want it. Hover the cursor over the button to see the status of the Sync connection.

Click the orange Firefox button and you can see the status of Sync, too. If Sync isn't setup, the app menu shows Set Up Sync.... Once Sync is setup and operational, that menu item will show either Connect if Sync isn't connected to the Sync server, or Disconnect when it is connected.
