See when you click on Sync Now under Firefox Button, you will see no operation going on. But that doesn't mean that your data is not synchronized. Firefox quietly without telling you synchronize your data.

you can verify by checking how much storage you are using on mozilla servers

  1. Click Firefox Button
  2. click options
  3. Under Sync Tab, click Manage Account
  4. Click View Quota
  5. You will see how much each item is using space.
  6. If it shows zero value, then your data was not synchronized.



Note: If anyone's reply has solved your problem, then please mark that reply as "Solved It" to the right of that reply after logging in your account.

Its because so that we can concentrate on new questions.

Well I solved the problem a few days ago and found out somehow it was already doing the sync between the two PC's even though I had not entered any sync keys at any time so this is strange but could have something to do with the fact I used FF sync add-on in the past maybe...

I you have this problem then use sunveer's method to check.

I'm sure at first it wasn't updating my bookmarks though... so keep checking

I have the same problem, but when I checked my quota it says "It was not possible to load informations of your quota"

What might be going on? I am pretty sure that I set up everything conrrectly.

I have lots of tabs on my work computer and would like to see it on my laptop!
