1381828 - Disconnecting from Sync does not remove device from FxA device list

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Firefox Accounts, defect)

Description

[Shane Tomlinson [:stomlinson]]

I signed into Sync using FxA then disconnected the device. When I looked at the device list in FxA, the device was still there.

STR:

1. On an Android device with Firefox for Android 54, sign into Sync using FxA.
2. On a desktop browser, sign into FxA using the email from step 1. Go to FxA's /settings page. Open "Devices & Apps". Ensure the newly connected device shows in the list.
3. In the Firefox for Android settings, click the name from step 1. Scroll down, click "Disconnect".
4. In the desktop browser, click the "Refresh" button. The device is still listed.

Expected: The device is not listed.

Grisha, this is a dupe of Bug 963446, which you WONTFIXed, no?

This is talking about fxa device records in particular. We do try to delete the FxA device on disconnect in FxAccountDeleteService@deleteFxADevice; this bug seems to indicate that something fishy might be going on with that logic? Shane's looking specifically at the device list on the accounts page, so Bug 963446 (which talks about sync client records) doesn't seem relevant.

Leaving NI to dig deeper.
