I have Sync on both at work and home. They're clearly not syncing, since something I bookmarked while at work isn't here when I get home.

You can check the about:sync-log page via the location/address bar to see if there are error logs available.

You can upload a recent log to this website if the log is too big to put in a reply.

That log shows that there is definitely something wrong:

  • 1439257497833 Sync.Service DEBUG Exception: Could not acquire lock.

Try to Disconnect from Sync and Reconnect to Sync again.

Try to delete the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder and delete the Weave folder (Sync was formerly named Weave). If that isn't enough then delete the prefs.js files to reset all prefs and maybe also delete the compatibility.ini file to reinitialize the profile.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
