Send Page to Device Does Not Work in Firefox 29

I have had the Send Tab to Device add-on installed since Firefox 4, eagerly awaiting the day it would be integrated into Sync. It had always worked for me until I upgraded to Firefox 29. Now, when I right-click and select "Send this page to device..." from the context menu, an alert box tells me, "You need to configure Firefox Sync." I have already set up my Firefox Account and signed in on all my devices. In the past, this happened on rare occasions and I fixed it by clicking "Sync now" in the main menu. That option is no longer available. Please advise.

Hey mmmm_cake, The new version of Sync has a sync tabs feature. Manage tabs in Firefox for Android and How do I choose what types of Information Syncs

On the android if you pull down and swipe to the sync icon then the tabs will show up.

For the add on however I would recommend emailing the developer.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to access synced tabs on the desktop version of Firefox?
