Details

We currently do the bare minimum for syncing: * When you sign in. * Every fifteen minutes while the app is open. * When you force a sync or pull to refresh. We should sync shortly after opening the app, so that we 'resume' syncing if needed. Two aspects that are now needed: * Rate limiting/scheduling. FxA and Sync have a backoff concept, but the frontend -- the part that triggers the sync -- needs to pay attention, too. We might already do so. * Limiting scope. We don't want to download five thousand items while you're trying to browse. We should use the greenLight mechanism to limit the number of downloaded batches. We should also take this opportunity to carefully read the logs and profile to make sure we're not doing more work than we need to.
