Chosen solution

First step is to set up Sync on the Macbook, then set it up on the Galaxy tablet.

Yes, you can. Co to Firefox on Mac at Firefox-> Options-> Sync. in that pop up will be a Add a device which will generate a 12 digit key which you will enter in the mobile Firefox in sync menu.

If you are using Firefox Native, the feature is brand new implemented so that's why was not available till now.

I always use Firefox to get onto the internet. I have a MacBook. My question is not how to get Firefox on my computer, but instead: Can I Sync my computer homepage with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? I have seen the directions on the Firefox site, but I can't find the "Options" or the "Sync" or the "Add a device" tabs. I think your advice was too advanced for me. You said "go to Firefox on Mac' which I did, but still did not see "Firefox->Options->Sync." The picture on how to set it up shows a Sync in the upper right corner - I never see that on my screen. Any suggestions. You might need to tell me more specific steps.

I finally got it with the help of a friend! The only bookmark that didn't transfer is Facebook. It is also kind of a weird process to get to the bookmark tool bar - it does not "show up" at the top of my AOL page like it does on my computer.  ??
