I have now spent 2 full hours trying to sync Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even as I have followed every instruction correctly.

I went to FIREFOX, SET UP SYNC. I created a new account (email address, password twice, checkbox for Terms & Privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appeared with the message "Set up complete!" I closed that tab, then went to the pc's PAIR A DEVICE screen, entered the code which appeared on my phone's SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen, then hit NEXT. The phone immediately showed activity (an animated horizontal box), along with the message "Waiting for other device".... After 7 minutes, the phone defaulted back to the SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the pc defaulted back to the SET UP SYNC screen with 2 buttons, SET UP SYNC and PAIR A DEVICE. Somewhere in the above process (I can't recall exactly where...), the pc asked me for a RECOVERY KEY -- which I could not find anywhere, neither on the phone nor on the pc. I repeated ALL of the above at least 5 times, always with the same non-result. Somewhere in the instructions, it described a "Manage acct." button for Sync accts. -- NO SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, neither on the pc nor the phone. My specs.: Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone...... phone is Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000...... Android version: 4.0.4....... I'm very good at following instructions, but the Firefox Sync help pages describe buttons which do NOT appear on my devices and recovery codes which do NOT appear anywhere. Please, please help -- so much time invested already, so much frustration..... Thx.

When you open the desktop sync page (Tools > options > sync) does it look like the image below? If it does not then sync is not setup on the desktop computer.
If that looks similar then the other half would be to get an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogcat] log from your device when attempting to pair the device. Following the directions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug
