Open Tab Sync Not Working from Android to Windows

Firefox Sync is not working appropriately insofar as, when I check Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop, I cannot see any tabs being synced from the Firefox app on my Android phone, even though both apps are logged into the same Firefox account and syncing open tabs is enabled on both machines.

However, when I check my phone, I can see all the tabs synced from my desktop. So, this seems to suggest that the sync process is working correctly on both desktop and mobile because I can actually see all the tabs that are open on my desktop, but I cannot see any of the tabs that are open my Android.

Everything is checked to sync on both the Windows and the Android Firefoxes.

Has anyone encountered a situation like this before, where sync is working appropriately, but one device seems to be refusing to upload specific data to the sync servers?
