How can I sync password on desktop to mobile?

Firefox sync works for me pretty well, except that the passwords that I have stored in the Password Manager for my desktop versions of firefox does not seem to be sync'ed to my android firefox mobile. Is there a way for me to do that?

Chosen solution

Passwords should sync automatically when you are using Firefox Sync. But they may not work on web sites that redirect mobile browsers to a different page, since Firefox cannot tell that it is the same site. There may also be bugs in mobile Firefox that prevent stored passwords from working on some pages.

Firefox for Android does not yet have Master Password support built in. We're working on this for a future version. For now, try out the Master Password add-on.

Yes. Per my previous post, my passwords are saved in the FF Pw manager and encrypted using a master password. I'd like to have the encrypted password synced over FF Sync to my android devices and unlock the pw's there using my master password.
