I'm Unable to Sync on Ubuntu

Firefox Sync data

On my Ubuntu Firefox (30, Canonical), I am unable to find any option that might link to a possible code for further usage.

In short, I can open the Sync settings and pick what I want synchronised, but there's no Sync account associated!

There's no email, there's no code for synchronising other devices, nothing. Please help! I want to sync those to my Windows Firefox.

(I'm asking this question from my Windows Firefox, as might be evident.)

Sync now requires a Firefox account. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

If you used the old version of Sync before, you'll first have to unlink all of your current devices from the old version of Sync. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync
