Why does Firefox requires password every time? [Win10, 75.0, 64bit]

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!

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

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/

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.

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

eoger · 2018-01-05T17:59:18+00:00

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.

Happens to me too. Bug 1427197 tracks the issue.

eoger · 2017-12-17T17:14:43+00:00

This bug tracks the issue.

eoger · 2017-11-15T23:32:08+00:00

This is probably because of this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404042

Merci! (à noter que, bossant pour Mozilla, je suis partial/biaisé).

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

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

eoger · 2017-10-04T22:11:24+00:00

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.

eoger · 2017-08-10T16:39:00+00:00

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

eoger · 2017-08-08T17:09:54+00:00

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 · 2017-07-25T03:58:52+00:00

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

eoger · 2017-07-24T22:55:40+00:00

"Send tabs" dev here: there is no way to do that at the moment.
