The boolean required should be IsInternetOnMeteredConnection property under ConnectionInformation from NetworkHelper class.

I hope Firefox could detect such case to save down traffic meter, in this case, also, money.

Hello! Thank you for submitting this issue. I will mark it as new and set a component for it in order to get our developers involved and take it into consideration for further releases.
If it's the wrong component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Have a nice day!

Firefox currently doesn't know about this flag. The other challenge here will be that we'll need to grow some UI around this feature - at the least, an option so the user can enable or disable it, and some UI that shows when it is in operation so the user isn't confused about why we aren't syncing. I doubt we are going to get to this any time so setting the flags accordingly.
