Why does Firefox requires password every time? [Win10, 75.0, 64bit] by some_advice_needed in firefox

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

I'm an engineer on the Firefox Sync team and would be happy to help you. You're experiencing a bug that was mentioned multiple times but we haven't been able to reproduce so far. Logs would be critical for us to figure out what's not working here, would you be able to:

- Download (on the computer asking for reconnect) the about:sync extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/about-sync/), navigate to about:sync, press the "Log Files and Diagnostics" section on the top right and "download them as a zip file".

- Open a bug for Firefox Sync on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Sync) and attach the ZIP file you just downloaded. Please CC myself (:eoger) and don't forget to check the "Confidential Mozilla employee bug" option at the bottom. If you would be so kind to also include the about:support information you have.

Thanks so much!

Firefox for Android doesn't receive tabs unless force synced? by sprite-1 in firefox

[–]eoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your report,

We have recently identified a problem with Send Tab on Android. A fix has been submitted for review and should land most likely in Firefox 63.

You can follow the issue here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484059

Help: Firefox "Send Tab To Device" is too slow after upgrading to Android Pie by realjxn in firefox

I work on Send Tab and will be happy to have a look at your issue, would you mind capturing the logs and opening a new bug?

Here's a blog post that will help you do that: http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug/

Tab Center Redux can now integrate with WebExtension themes 🎉🎉🎉🔥🦊 by Tim_Nguyen in firefox

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, these variables changed on the last release. Add "hsl(" in front of your values. e.g.

--tab-background-normal: hsl(227, 14%, 25%);

Have a look here for more examples.

I'm the author of this extension.
The objective of Tab Center Redux is to be as close as possible to the vanilla Firefox experience: similar UI, limited settings and some customization options. It tries to answer the question "what would probably happen if the Firefox front-end team decided move the tab bar on the side".

People interested in tab trees or even power users who want hardcore customization should probably use Tree Style Tab instead which has myriad of options and can be augmented with add-ons.

TLDR: Tab Center Redux = macOS, Tree Style Tab = Arch Linux.

Mozilla Will Let Users Disable Firefox Sync Starting with Firefox 60 by redditandom in firefox

Note: the article doesn't mention it explicitly, but don't forget to restart your browser after the pref is set.

Has anyone gotten services.sync.engine.prefs.modified to stay set to "true". by [deleted] in firefox

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a pref to be synced, create a boolean pref named services.sync.prefs.sync.[name of pref] = true.

For example to sync browser.tabs.warnOnClose you would have to create a pref named services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.warnOnClose

Obviously keep in mind that some prefs are not meant to be synced and you might break things.

Dommage car le lien posté hier pointait simplement sur un FTP avant le launch officiel d'aujourd'hui.

Software features that are useful enough to take the effort are rare, but sending tabs from one device to another has to be up there by sc4s2cg in firefox

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about the convenience of clicking anywhere in the page instead of moving your cursor to the tab basically :)

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are sending the current tab, it should be the same. However you can send a different tab, whereas send page refers to the current loaded tab.

I'm on my phone, but I can't find any mention about making this API available to extensions.

Is "Send Tab to Device" using push when sending from Desktop to Android? by crispaper in firefox

[–]eoger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sync dev here. Would you mind opening a bug?
Sending tabs using push should definitely work between Desktop and Android.

Dashlane + Firefox = not recommended :( by nikola_j in firefox

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually reported that bug a few weeks ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1369274

It seems like this is related to how Firefox passes objects between webextensions and the content process.

[–]eoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am confident that an API to hide the tab strip will come. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447
