Details

I've sometimes noticed that the history can vary across devices. It happens that if I haven't browsed a link in a while, it may no longer appear when I type words from the title or even the domain name of the site into the address bar of Firefox for iOS, while I have no problem finding it on my computer using the same search in the history of the desktop version.

Of course, if the link is bookmarked, then there is no problem. But if I want to find an old link, like a recipe I haven't made in a long time for example, I have to find it on my computer first to send it to Firefox for iOS, which can't find the same link as the desktop version. Does Sync only save history up to a certain point in time?

We only sync the most 5000 recent visits, but we should do a better job at "backfilling" more.
