668629 - Adding existing profile to new account created by new profile deletes persona

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 656151

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on stage on 20110630 and production

STR:

1) On client B create a new profile and add a persona (www.getpersonas.com)
2) On client A create a clean profile, then create a new sync account. Sync to cloud, shutdown, restart.
3) Add client B to the new sync account. 

Tested results:
The persona on client B is deleted. (note: the browser is skinned with the persona 'til you open a new window or restart)

Expected result:
the persona remains and is synced to client A.

ok, after talking with philikon and doing some very careful testing, I think this is expected behavior. 

As filed, the expected results are what happens.  I was testing with changes to other prefs; notably enabling sync logging which creates a conflict and since prefs are batched together, one client has to win at setup of another.  In my case, client A was always winning.

Going to mark this invalid
