Hi Mark, sorry new to Bugzilla, so if I'm using this wrong, I will delete this message and follow proper steps.

I wanted to request the ability to sync 'pinned sites' from Firefox on iOS to desktop browser. Pinned sites is okay, but to maximize the value of the tool, syncing between devices would encourage user adoption due to increased usefulness.

I just wanted to add my support for any efforts to improve Firefox Sync, specifically for Settings/Options/Preferences (or whatever they're called just now). I've tried to come back to Firefox from Edge. Sadly I quickly realised that Firefox Sync is failing to sync several settings I care about.

First and foremost however, I would urge Mozilla to be less DISHONEST with its users, in apparently attempting to mislead them about the features of its software. Firefox Sync does NOT sync 'Settings', it syncs SOME Settings, but not all of them, and it seems nigh-on impossible to establish what does, and what does not Sync. Effectively this feature is rendered useless, as it fails to function in a reliable way.

Please, get Sync working as it should, or give up and abandon the whole thing.

I think that this feature, that is still regarded as not important despite the fact that it as cause confusion for 7 years now for a big part of the users, deserve to be considered a higher priority than P3.

It was OK for me (Bug 1834181) because I still had my old PC so I was able to replicate everything manually, it it may not be the case every time and may cause some permanent loss to some.
