Android and Windows Desktop Sync Issues

The firefox browser sync between my Android (Pixel 9 Pro phone) and my windows laptop (a Microsoft Surface Pro 9) is not consistent. The sync works fine for a few minutes or even hours but then it stops syncing the tabs. I have to log off on both devices, disable sync and then re-enable sync to make it work again. I have tried this across multiple versions of firefox app (in both android and windows platforms) but the issue is not limited any particular version of the app. This seems to be a known issue. It will be great if the developers can release a patch to fix this bug asap. Until then I cannot use firefox as my main browser. I rely on this feature a lot. Continuity makes life easier. I current use Brave browse and edge browser and they sync totally fine between the same devices.
