1. download nightly for android (I'm on galaxy s4) 2. goto about:accounts 3. sign in as edog@mailinator.com or your own acct. 4. look at bookmarks actual: bookmarks don't sync from desktop and desktop doesn't display fennec's book marks either. I tried restarted fennec and desktop and waited 15 min. If i refresh about:accounts - It doesn't tell me that I'm logged in. Let me know if anyone wants to break that out as a different bug.
Summary: signing into about:accounts isn't syncing bookmarks → signing into about:accounts isn't syncing bookmarks on Fennec nightly
What odd results you get. This was working for me on the late Dec nightly build I used (check my giant email sent to dev-fxacct). I will look into this early next week when I return.

I expect Syncing to work both ways; but about:accounts on Fennec is a stub to allow signing up and in only. Once you have the Android Firefox Account object (check Android Settings > Accounts) about:accounts is out of the picture. We're building native UI equivalent to about:accounts right now.
I believe this issue only occurs if you have an existing account. If you create account, then sign in, it will sync correctly.
