It's syncing my bookmarks and my history just fine, but not my tabs. Is there some kind of delay before tab syncing takes effect? If not, why don't my tabs sync along with everything else? I have tried using the "Sync Now" menu item, but it has no effect. What is the purpose of "Sync Now," since Firefox Sync is supposed to work "automatically"?

Sync Now only appears when "autoconnect" for Sync is turned off.

services.sync.autoconnect

Thanks for your reply, the-edmeister. Pardon my ignorance, but how do I change that setting? There is no such setting in my about:config.
