Tabs on Firefox 27.0 for Android (Cyanogenmod 10.2.1) aren't being synced with my desktop Firefox (27.0 on Ubuntu 13.04).

Sync is, I believe, set up properly on both devices. (On Android, the Firefox sync account is set to sync and the tabs checkbox is checked.) However, the tabs from my desktop on Android Firefox are "stuck" at the tabs that I had open on the desktop when I set up Sync on the Android. They don't update if I

(a) click Tools->Sync Now on desktop FF (b) close and restart the Firefox app on Android (c) restart tthe Android phone, or, (d) when I disable and re-enable (i.e. uncheck, exit, then recheck) Firefox Sync in the Android Sync settings dialog.

Any ideas on how to fix or further diagnose? Thanks!

`about:sync-tabs` doesn't list any tabs on Desktop, even when tabs are open on Android; it doesn't appear to exist on Android ("This address isn't valid")

Ooh, I found logs. Please let me know if these help, or if you need more info. Note the tabs failed portion, with traceback. (This is just a part of the most recent error log file; I left out the part that seemed old/not an error, and redacted the URL to my sync.)
