Please see these steps to sync search engine (it is the the preferences menu listed in the sync settings)

  1. Open Firefox in one of connected devices
  2. Click on the Firefox menu, then click on the sync account name
  3. The preferences for sync will open up, make sure that preferences are checked.
  4. Then on each of the computers click Tools > Sync Now

It's not working.

You seem to be using an old Firefox 41.0a1 Nightly build according to the System Detail list.

Please install the full version of current Firefox 41.0 release to switch to the release channel or at least install the current Nightly or Developer Edition if you want to stay on an unstable Firefox branch meant for testers.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (41.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:

@cor-el I don't know who you were talking to but I know you don't know what you're talking about. I have multiple Firefox installations on multiple different OSes all of them up-to-date and none of them seems to manage synchronizing bloody search engine plugins.

The Application details attached to the question show that you use a 64 bit Firefox 41.0a1 version

Firefox 41.0a1
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Support URL: https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/41.0a1/WINNT/en-US/

@cor-el I didn't even use Windows to reply, OP must be using 41.0a1, I don't.

Sorry, I forgot to check the time stamps and creator of each reply and hadn't noticed that you weren't the thread creator.

Could you please start a new thread for your question?

Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
