883440 - add-on sync does not work between desktop(dt) and laptop(lt)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[jonhp19]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

dt: has add-on a but not b
lt: has add-on b but not a
dt: sync to cloud
lt: sync to cloud
dt: replace sync data from cloud
lt: replace sync data from cloud
dt: still has add-on a but not b
lt: still has add-on b but not a


Actual results:

add-ons were deleted and then added but nothing changed.


Expected results:

dt and lt should have same add-on lists.
it is like dt and lt each live in their own world
there is no place one can see the list of sync clients and who is syncing with whom.

This looks like an issue with old Sync...we've done a lot of work on add-on sync over the last few years. Please reopen if you still see issues.
