Could also be a Fennec issue, of course.

I can't reproduce this, and it's part of our usual QA, so definitely need logs here.

I've tried pages where the URL fragment does and does not feature in the title; no change.

sync triage: holding off on deciding status until there are logs or qa can verify.

Sync does not work in builds more recent then Nightly/14.0a1 2012-04-13(bug 744816). Adding dependency and leaving the qawanted flag until the issue is fixed. Will retest then.

This is perhaps not true, or not relevant, so I would still like a log or a worksforme.

This bug was reported on the 2012-04-11 build.

I disabled password sync in Inbound on 2012-04-13 until that Fennec bug was fixed. It's re-enabled now that that bug is fixed.

Tested on Nightly/14.0a1 2012-04-11 on HTC Desire (Android 2.2).

I am unable to reproduce the issue with general websites. Each history item is synced every time I try. 
The only issues seen were in the case of 9gag.com/v/ where every time the link is accessed or the user taps on the skip button the page redirects to 9gag.com/v/[random post]. For this link only the main access of the URL is synced but this may be due to the way the website is created. I have attached logs while syncing when the issue was reproduced.
