Automatic Sync Disabled, Cannot Update - Android

[Justin P Brown]

I have recently installed the latest version of Firefox onto my Android mobile device. I have a Firefox account which I have logged into. I am trying to sync with my pc web browser (Comodo Ice Dragon). I know there has been some synchronisation as I have my bookmark folders appear in Firefox on the device, but I cannot auto sync & the bookmarks won't update.

On my device I go to settings then tap the account email address & am at a sync settings page. I have this error message: 'The sync is set, but automatic synchronisation is disabled. Go to the menu - Data Use - Android settings and check - Syncronise data automatically.'

(I cannot find a menu for data use.)

All the other options on the sync page are greyed out excpet 'More' there is a red 'Disconnected...' message too. Clicking on any of the options, including 'More' does nothing, except if I click on 'Disconnected...' which takes me to a Firefox account sign in page where I sign in, am prompted to verify via email, (which I do), & returned to the sync page where the initial error message is still displayed.

Is there a way to manually sync the browser? I would prefer this as I am unfamiliar with Firefox & it has not yet gained my trust. I have used Maxthon previously to Firefox which was very simple compared to this.

Can anyone help?

Thank you DanRaisch. I am new to the site & did not realise I'd posted in an inappropriate area. Thank you for your assistance.

You're welcome. It wasn't an "inappropriate" area, just a location less likely to be seen by others using the mobile version and thus able to provide input on your question.

If you're looking at the new tab page, you might be able to manually force a sync by going to history, clicking on the "Synced devices" folder and then pulling the page down until a spinner appears.
