How do I get Firefox Sync to work?

I have followed the Firefox Sync instructions a number of times. I want to copy the data from my old laptop onto my new. The new laptop just sits there and does nothing when I enter the generated code into my old laptop. When looking around for help, I found this:

There is no "Manage Account" button on the "Sync" tab of the Options dialog (Firefox 25.0.1 on both machines - updating now).

The third link says this: "Note: This article doesn't apply to your version of Firefox. It requires the latest Firefox version which can be downloaded from mozilla.org/firefox."

I'm running 26.0, I just updated yesterday. Is there a newer version?

That fourth link is where I saw the "Manage Accout" button that does not exist. I have already tried all four of those links.
