User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171023180840 Steps to reproduce: 1) setup Firefox Sync across several devices 2) install same add-on (with any custom page) on them, for example GroupSpeedDial: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/ 3) set the add-on custom page as Firefox Homepage 4) let devices synchronize Actual results: Only one of the devices has correct homepage. All the others are pointing to the non-existing add-on page. Expected results: Homepage should work on every device and point to the same add-on page. But since same add-on has different UUID on every device, the URL will be different on every device. It's hard to say how to fix this properly. One way would be to exclude homepage from synchronization if it's pointing to an extension page.

We should probably not sync any url starting with moz-extension://... because that's not going to work across more than one profile. If an extension uses the chrome_url_overrides API then, when the add-on syncs on each profile it will set up the home page appropriately as it gets installed. If an extension does not use that API and does it differently then it will be up to that add-on to set itself up correctly, it can do that using the chrome.storage.sync API.
