Even Jolla could implement its own synchronization instance https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

AFAI understand the firefox instance is pretty much safe since the data are encrypted decrypted on the device. So i don’t see a need for Jolla to run its own.

The firefox instance?

The server or whatever firefox uses to sync.

I think the OPs request was about support for using it in the browser. Like in the firefox browser. I rely on it a lot syncing with 3 devices. Just the other day my Firefox settings got corrupted on my laptop, and all I had to do was to sync instead of using endless time trying to remember all settings, plugins, bookmarks etc.

Do you know that everyone can run a Firefox Sync server? The magic of Opensource software.
That’s what Juanro49 suggested, as an addition to what OP requested, not a solution.

Personally I think it would be great if Jolla ran its own, but I don’t know how that would jibe with people’s existing sync profiles.

Going through the translation strings i saw “Password Manager” mentioned. Is this something that was pulled by the mozilla translation strings or are we getting password manager functionality in SFOS?

#9

For me it’s just password manager in SFOS

#10

Yeah makes sense. I didn’t remember it mentioned like that and thought we were getting something new.

#11

it’s in "sailfish_components_webview_popups-la-remember_password " section

Quite sure that refers to the pwd manager in the browser, not a standalone one.
