Passwords won't sync from desktop to android.

I just set up sync on my desktop, then on my new Galaxy S6 (Android 5.1.1, latest firefox version from play store) The bookmarks from my desktop are syncing, but not the passwords. I have bookmarks and passwords checked, I've tried clicking the sync button on the phone, but nothing happens. The list of saved passwords on the phone is still empty.

Oh I figured it out. If google leads anyone here: You need to check the boxes you want on both your pc and android, then hit the sync button on your pc, then hit the sync button on your android.

Dunno if there's a better solution, but after I did that my passwords all showed up on my phone.
