I have a PC(win10) with firefox and the same account logged in as is to my win10 laptop.

I cannot get the PC history to sync with the laptop. When i login to laptop w/same account and do sync and I go to Account Settings, Manage Account, click Devices & Apps, Show the PC in questions, shows as "Last seen 5 days ago" when my son is logged in Right now searching in the firefox browser.

Anything i can do to force sync, so i can see his/the browser history on my laptop?? thanks

Did you check that laptop to see if there is actually history created and that not Private Browsing mode is active or that there is otherwise a problem with the history ?

Is other data synced from that device ?

Yes my laptop is logged in wirh same account and I don’t have or use private browsing on it It does create history but locally. I do hit sync button but again. Nothing is pulling from that pc. Why would it show last check was 5 days ago? Anything would be stopping it from syncing locally even though I’m logged in w same account??thx
