Firefox won't sync

I purchased a new computer and want to sync my firefox bookmarks from my old computer to the new computer. Both have updated firefox. I have created a firefox account, logged in, and verified the firefox account for both computers. I went into my old computer and click the sync button and it appears to be syncing but nothing is happening on the new computer. I then went to the new computer and clicked the sync button, which also appeared to be doing something but no bookmarks have appeared. The troubleshooting for syncing doesn't address my problem and I have spent a long time going in circles trying to find an answer. Please help.

Both computers are Windows 10. I do not use Firefox on any of my other devices. Both computers have FF 57.0 (64bit)

It appears that sync finally worked, so you can disregard the question. You don't seem to have the option to remove a question....
