Getting Firefox Sync to actually work?

So I set up firefox sync, it says it's syncing, but it doesn't do anything at all - no bookmarks, no remembered userids, nothing. This is between two laptops, one running XP and one running 7. How do I get it to actually apply the sync updates to the newer computer? It just does nothing. I've searched through the help and forums here and haven't found any answers yet. Both levels of Firefox are fairly recent. How do I actually get it to bring in and show the bookmarks and such on the newer computer?
