I'm trying to sync my iphone to my mac but the instructions keep telling me to use the "sync" tab under my preference menu, which I don't have. I've tried reinstalling firefox and restarting my computer but I still don't get a sync tab. I tried to sync using my iphone as a blue tooth device also, and it's saying it can't sync with my iphone. What's up?

Hey beanrs,

It says you are still on 3.6.25. If I am not mistaken, Sync only works an add-on in that version of Firefox and support has recently been discontinued for the add-on. You should consider upgrading to the most recent version of Firefox. There are instructions in the article Update Firefox to the latest release.

Hopefully this helps!
