Firefox Sync is completely missing from Android

The option to "sync and save your data" no longer appears in the main menu, nor under settings. Oddly, I can still send tabs from my laptop to my phone, just not the other way around. The option to "connect another device" in the share menu uselessly tells me "to send a tab, sign in to Firefox on at least one other device," when I've already done so.

In short, this doesn't appear to work anymore: [to set up Firefox Sync in Firefox for Android]

Hi

It looks like you are connected - at the top of the Settings menu is your name. Tap that and you will see your Firefox Sync settings for Firefox for Android.

I did that and tapped "sync now" before, but didn't see my other device under "SEND TO DEVICE" in the share menu until today. Weird. The second screenshot I shared is what appeared earlier in place of a device in the share menu, under "connect another device." Where is the option to connect another device by scanning a QR code?

Hi

The QR code will be provided on the other device that you wish to sign in on, such as a laptop or desktop computer.
