Sync with my mobile and all the other devices (4 other computers) is one reason why I use Firefox. It's because it's the only browser, as far as I know, which lets me run my own sync server and offers a open source implementation of it.

- simcop2387 7y agoOh neat, when they first switched to sync that wasn't the case (the previous system did allow it over WebDAV and such), but because sync wasn't just a data dump with WebDAV it wasn't possible at launch to run your own server. I'll have to look into that again.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoAs far back as I remember the code behind sync was on GitHub and I do mean the backend. It probably still is. But I let Mozilla host it cause they encrypt it. If I lose my password I lose my synched items.

- rocqua 7y agoIf it's for a few days, how did you un-forget?
- simcop2387 7y agoIt was there I think, but wasn't immediately possible to use a different server as they hadn't enabled or built that into the browser yet. They were still working out issues and I never bothered to check up on it because it seemed like the encryption was secure enough for me.
