Hi! I am getting a new tablet. When I set up my Firefox sync account on the new device, in the sync section it asks for device name. Should I put in the new device name, or if it's already there leave it alone, or should I type in the name of the device I'm syncing FROM? Thank you.

Hi, Each device that is attached to the sync account has a name in the sync preferences. It is the name of the device you are currently syncing From.

I realize that, but what I need to know is do I need to put the name of the device I'm syncing FROM in the device name for the new device til all is synced Or will it sync with different device names? I really don't want to mess anything up :-) Thank you for answering.
