You will need a desktop Firefox to set up an account unfortunately. This could be done on any computer that can run Firefox. Might be good to use http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable for this purpose. You will need to make sure you get all 3 bits of info from the setup.

  • Sync username
  • Sync password
  • Sync key

Then use the manual setup options for Firefox Sync on your tablets.

Hi, Mozilla? Not everyone has access to non - mobile Firefox. Please fix. I know many people who only have a phone, I'm sure they would like to be able to sync as well. Sincerely, a long time Firefox user.
