1433778 - Synchronize reader mode state (or reading list) across Firefox products

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, enhancement)

Description

[aakumykov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 7.1.2; Mobile; rv:60.0) Gecko/60.0 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180127100324

Steps to reproduce:

1) Switch some web page into "reading mode".
2) Config same syncronization account in Firefox on second mobile device.
3) Start syncronization manually.
4) Go to Bookmarks on second device.



Actual results:

There is no "Reading list" with that page from first devece. There is bookmark for that page.

I.e. same page is in bookmarks and reading list in first devece, and only in bookmarks in second device.


Expected results:

Same reading list on both devices, because if I read page on first device, I want to continue reading it in reading mode on second device.

As far as I know, we don't sync reading mode state across Firefox products at all.  But I think this is a reasonable feature request!  Sorry.

Desktop has a reader mode, but not a reading list. IIUC, implementing that is WONTFIX cos Pocket. So the best I could see happening is we sync readinglist between android devices, but that doesn't seem worthwhile.

We aren't going to invest in this.
