i have activated Sync in firefox on my laptop, works fine. Now i have installed firefox on my iphone and want to sync. However, i get the error message saying that sync is not available (in Dutch: Sync is niet beschikbaar). When I perform activities that are suggested to solve this problem, it still does not work.
