Dear Sirs, I tried to "see" tabs of my desktop, through my laptop remotely (not on the same wifi) but I see only "old" tabs although I have left open newer thatn those.

Please note that settings are set to sync all and that I have pressed "sync now" several times with no luck. Also, when I was on the same wifi I haven't face such issue, sync worked just perfect.

Is it required by a desktop user to press "sync now" as well or sync is renew automatically from time to time? I think the second but now I'm in doubt.

Thank you in advance, Alexandros

Sync should happen automatically from anywhere, as long as both computers are connected to the internet. It happens periodically (every few minutes); you do not need to "sync now" manually.

For help with your sync problem try the steps on this page: Firefox Sync troubleshooting and tips

Dear mbrubeck, Thank you for your reply. This suppose to happen but it does not. Actually I asked the desktop user to "refresh sync" soshe did and like magic the tabs changed. I know that hints should refresh automatically but it does not.

So any ideas would be appreciated, Alexandros
