900574 - Passwords not always synced

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Sync, defect, P4)

Description

[A. Sel.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

Changed a password (pw1) of a website on computer A


Actual results:

When syncing, password (pw1) on computer B did not get updated, but bookmarks did


Expected results:

When syncing, password (pw1) on computer B should have been updated

I investigated a little and changed a password for a *different* website (pw2) on computer *B* and started synchronization resulting the first password (pw1) being reset to the old (now wrong) password and the second password (pw2) being updated correctly to the newest value.

I have no idea, what causes the behaviour, but i've seen it a couple of times.

Is this still an issue with the new sync and Firefox32 ?

I just tried to sync my passwords - with master passwords enabled - between a nightly (37), DevEdition (36) and Beta (35) version, but that didn't work at all.

Anything I can check, like a http request for sync!?

BTW, "Tabs" also only synced between nightly (37) and DevEdition (36) ...

I tested this again and it worked flawless for me syncing a desktop 89 (beta) and desktop 90 (nightly) today.
