I am setting up a new desktop. Firefox 29.0.1 is installed on all of my computers. I created a Firefox account and signed in on all computers. The new desktop shows that I am logged in (Under the settings menu, in a line above the Customize line), but no other computers have this line, although they say I am logged in. All computers have the "Pair A Device" link under Settings->Options->Sync except for the desktop. It does not have this blue link. I have set up sync many times on my computers, but never on one that does not have the blue Pair A Device link. How do I do this, and how do I get the line saying I am logged in to appear in the Settings window. All computers Windows 8.1 64 bit, and all Firefox v. 29.0.1 Thank you

Hi Metron, Sorry for the delay. Currently the devices with "Pair a device" are on the old sync. Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more Please take caution if you set up a new account that profile you set it up as will overwrite the next device you connect to the account. Please enjoy.
