I signed up for sync on the old computer. And I got a message bar that said preparing to sync. After a few minutes it went awy and nothing else came up. I assumed it was done. Turned off old computer and turned on new went to Firefox and signed in hoping it would then show bookmarked and tabs etc, Nothing new, At a loose for what to do.

It is possible that you haven't waited long enough to let the initial sync finish. The first initial sync can take unknown time to complete, especially if you have a lot of history and bookmarks.
