Hi,

There is one issue in Firefox.

I signed in Android Firefox and added an add-on. After few months, due to some reasons, I did reset my android device. And reinstalled Android Firefox and signed in Firefox again but I didn’t find earlier added add-on. I searched that add-on again and added it. It shouldn’t be like that.

After signing in Firefox, if I configure my firebox like adding some add-ons, all setting and configuration must be synced automatically every time when I sign in Firefox.

It would be additional benefits, if profile configurations synced between Firefox Desktop and Firefox Android.

Hi

Thank you for your question.

Whilst Sync does allow add-ons to come across from Firefox Desktop, not all are compatible in the same way on Firefox for Android. As a result some will need to be added manually in Firefox for Android.

This is something that is being looked into to improve upon in the future and hopefully will be released when it is ready.

Hi, I agree, all add-on are not compatible to both platforms (Desktop & Android) but if I add some add-on on Android Platform or if I add some add-on on Desktop Platform, those add-on must remain added at every login but at every sign-in, I have to search and add those add-on.
