I'm trying to sync Firefox to a NEW Windows 8 Surface Pro to an old Windows 8 Surface Pro. Both have the latest version of Firefox, but the Sync screens on each on each one are different. I've tried the obvious, like following all of the steps, but alas there is complete failure. Help Please!

Sounds like the old one is set up with the old sync. You'll have to disconnect it from sync, restart and then sign in with the new sync account info. Details are in this article - Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more.

Let me know how it goes,
