  2. Tap the "Advanced setup..." link.
  3. Next, enter your Account Name (email address), Password, Recovery Key and tap Connect.

I do not get a home page that looks like what you have in the 'helpful response picture'.

I do not get to sync by tapping 'about'

I do not have 'main menu' anywhere on the homepage that shows up on my samsung tablet.

I can get many pictures of the same homepage that you are showing me pictures of , but I can't actually get to a homepage that looks like the picture.

The page being shown is the "Firefox default start page or Firefox for android start page. Nothing special, screenshot what you have & attach to this post

I tried with a scan and tried with a screenshot, got error messages for uploading images both times.

On a white screen, I get a small navy blue box that says "Firefox" in white and then "Start" in light blue. then there is a bigger white box with black outline,

First line says Google Second line has a search field and next to it in small lettering a link for advanced seach, and a link for preferences. Third line says Google Search in black lettering on gray ground.

Below the bottom of that box in small lettering I have two live links: About Mozilla and Firefox support.

In the upper rh corner of the bigger box and the smaller navy ground box there is the firefox logo globe.

That's all.

When I press about mozilla I get to a page with a lot of pictures of people and an invitation to get to know mozilla.

lots of links below that invitation but none of them say sync either.

I have explored every possible option and all I get is articles no actual live link to set up a sync with my desktop.

Thank You!

On this tablet, the settings are called 'personal' not 'general', but very helpful, thanks very much.
