According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-set-firefox-sync-firefox-android, there should be a Sync and Save Date option in Firefox Android Menu, but it's nowehere to be found.

I am using the current version of fire fox and am using the same smail on both devices.

I tried using using the QR scanner from the dialogue box in the firefox keyboard, however that only brings up a "Did you use the system camera? You must pair from within the Firefox app." display.

The option is still missing from the menu.

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu from the home screen, do you see your name or email address listed in the menu options?

The issue was resolved; the problem was not the browser but my impatience. Thank you for responding regardless and sorry for wasting your time.
