User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 Build ID: 20180621125625 Steps to reproduce: I added a new RSS reader to firefox (for example using `javascript:(function(){navigator.registerContentHandler('application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed','https://theoldreader.com/feeds/subscribe?url=%s','The%20Old%20Reader');})();`). The handler is installed on the local machine, but not synced to other machines. Actual results: The handler is installed on the local machine, but not synced to other machines. Expected results: The handler is set up on all synced machines.
Thanks for reporting this and taking an interest in Firefox features, but I'm sorry to say that we aren't going to do this. For one, Firefox already has "livemarks" which are supported and are synced, and also because MDN documents this feature as "obsolete" and that it "shouldn't be used" - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerContentHandler
