Firefox Sync, originally branded Mozilla Weave,[1] is a browser synchronization feature for Firefox web browsers. It allows users to partially synchronize bookmarks, browsing history, preferences, passwords, filled forms, add-ons, and the last 25 opened tabs across multiple computers.[2] The feature is now included in Firefox and is being implemented in Thunderbird.[3]
It keeps user data on Mozilla servers, but according to Mozilla the data is encrypted in such a way that no third party, not even Mozilla, can access user information.[4] It is also possible for the user to host their own Firefox Sync servers, or indeed, for any entity to do so.[5]
Firefox Sync was originally an add-on[6] for Mozilla Firefox 3.x and SeaMonkey 2.0, but it has been a built-in feature since Firefox 4.0[7] and SeaMonkey 2.1.[8]
Firefox Sync is built on top of Firefox Accounts as of Firefox 29, and therefore Firefox 29 and later cannot sync with Firefox 28 and earlier.[9]
Firefox Home
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Firefox Home was a companion application for the iPhone and iPod Touch based on the Firefox Sync technology. Firefox Home was not considered a web browser, as it would launch pages in either an embedded viewer or by switching to the Safari app.[10][11] In December 2014, Mozilla announced Firefox for iOS, a version of the Firefox browser for iOS,[12][13] which includes Firefox Sync support for syncing Firefox's browsing history, bookmarks, and recent tabs.
Sync Server
Mozilla also offers a synchronization server application for use with Firefox Sync, for users and businesses that prefer to host their own synchronization data.[5]
