Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 428378

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[jeremy9856]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170126153126

Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I use Firefox on 2 computers kept in sync but the favicons are not synced so there are missing (a lot) favicons on both computers.

It will be great if we can sync, and more importantly, refresh the favicons with a click on a button. By the way this kind of extension doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thanks !

There is no need to clutter the interface by introducing buttons that basically no user will use. Instead, the underlying problem should be fixed so there is no need for such a button.

You need to contact extension maintainers about their extensions. 
They won't see your comment in some random bug report. :)

Well you may be right, a button might be useless for the vast majority of people. So syncing the favicons might be the solution.

That's not what I meant. I meant that this kind of extension could do the trick but they can't work anymore since there was some underlying change in Firefox.
