New Laptop & Want To Sync Everything Over To New Firefox On New Laptop

I've recently purchased a new laptop. I've downloaded Firefox on it. I've signed into my Firefox account on it.

I have both laptops open with both browsers on each laptop open. How can I get my current session (on old laptop) with all of the open tabs to immediately open on the browser open on the new laptop?

I've tried the syncing option but it doesn't open the session. Rather, all I've been able to do is find those "current tabs" under the "sign out" option; but I do not want to simply "find them," I want to open them all at once. There are many tabs so I do not want to open them one by one. These tabs are also different tab groups and I'd like to keep that organization, if possible.
