RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1407727

People

(Reporter: erwinm, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox Sync probably needs one-way sync to avoid certain problems such as:

  • Writing the wrong bookmark list over the right one. Bug 813479 Bug 1543302

  • Writing the wrong user preferences over the right ones.

  • Writing the wrong user add-on settings over the right ones. Bug 1511574

Bug 1407727 is similar, but defect rather than enhancement, and less explanation given.

Actual results:

Firefox sync isn't working for me, but this is one way it could fail a lot worse.

Expected results:

Firefox sync should allow users to sync FROM their current browser without syncing TO it,

Or sync TO their current browser without syncing FROM it.
