I'm old-school former geek wanna-be &amp; tend to get stuck in my ways - still have my '03 desktop tower - Win XP "loaded" w/ 3/1/2, Zip, DVD RAM and Firefox/Thunderbird but also Netscape &amp; emails going waay back.
Been doing a lot of genealogy &amp; military research &amp; getting ready to travel - so want everything accessible on my "little" laptop &amp; 2TB SS ext USB drive... seriously avoiding the Cloud!
</p><p>Anyway - it was very helpful to review some of the other tools I'd forgotten about &amp; could keep handier!
Thanks again!

For future reference - In case anyone in the future makes the same silly mistake - hope it's OK to explain.
</p><p>After going through all the same steps on both computers a half dozen times on both computers, all the settings seemed fine, and when I hit the Sync Now - the little Sync "wheel" spun for a second. Going back and forth a couple times - each would tell me it "Synced x mins ago"
I just knew I had to be missing something, since my Bookmarks etc were already synced from when I first set up the newer laptop 6 mos ago.
</p><p>But... Silly me... I was expecting to see Tabs from one actually open in a Window on the other... until I finally noticed the LIST of Tabs, below the Sync drop-down box. Experimented again, opening a new Tab on one computer... and sure enough it was added to that List on the other.
</p><p>Thanks again! Your help did confirm I wasn't missing anything in the steps - which forced me to keep looking for the one thing I was misunderstanding!

To get an better idea just download a different version of Firefox to the same computer. Sync will see the different version as another device.
Go into settings and then you will see sync and the options.
