Using Firefox 29 Beta 7 (now 8) I have sync on 2 PC's both signed into the same account but the bookmarks are different. I thought they would automatically 'sync' to be the same? The device name is different but I believe that it is one set of 'sync' bookmarks shared by 2 devices - Am I wrong?

Are both PC's running Firefox 29 beta? Or is one running an older version like Firefox 28?

Firefox 29 uses the new Sync, where earlier versions used an older version. Once a Sync account is updated to new Sync, an older version of Firefox isn't compatible with the updated account.
