Syncing multiple deviced

Hi! I bought a second MacBook, but cannot find any accurate instructions for adding it as one of my devices.

On the MacBook, I get the QR code page, but nowhere in the phone is the supposed "Sync" page to scan that code. I literally looked in every single area that I could. These are the instructions:

Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet 1. Open Firefox on your mobile device. 2. Go to the menu ( on iOS or on Android) and tap Sync and save data 3. Tap Ready to Scan and hold your phone over this code

There is "Sync now," but that is only syncing to the old laptop.

I logged out and back in on the new MacBook, and now it shows in Firefox on it and my iPhone (Connected Services), but now the old MacBook is no longer in the device list on either the new one or the phone.

It would be so much easier to just have an obvious "Add a device" button.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Update: there is a chance it worked out, as there now *seems* to be two laptops in the "Connected Services" section. However, just to add to the confusion, the name of the old laptop is gone, and in its place a new name with an inaccurate (outdated) macOS number.

When personal computers came out, there was such a buzz about how much easier they were going to make our lives. The convolutions to set up and manage all these devices and software is far from easy.

Notice how their is the same buzz about AI? Beware of this intoxication, folks.
