How to use it? You need to do a daemon-reload and enable/start the systemd service user unit:

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable firefox-sync
systemctl --user start firefox-sync

Also, you can enable the timer to sync every hour (in case you're using a laptop and experience unexpected shutdowns):

systemctl --user enable firefox-sync-cron --now

For more information, see wiki.

At login via ssh it shows:

readlink: missing operand Try 'readlink --help' for more information. mv: missing destination file operand after 'static-' Try 'mv --help' for more information.

Any hint? Thanks Piero

@pelle Are you still having that problem? I was never able to reproduce it.

Hi guys,

since the last update i get following error:

ERROR:syncstorage.views:Could not append to batch("1537125484221") Sep 16 21:18:04 vvv uwsgi[31089]: ERROR:syncstorage.views:(pymysql.err.InternalError) (1054, u"Unknown column 'userid' in 'field list'") [SQL: u'/ [queryName=UPSERT_batch_upload_items] / INSERT INTO batch_upload_items (ttl_offset,payload_size,userid,batch,id,payload) VALUES (%(ttl_offset0)s,%(payload_size0)s,%(userid0)s,%(batch0)s,%(id0)s,%(payload0)s) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ttl_offset = VALUES(ttl_offset),payload_size = VALUES(payload_size),userid = VALUES(userid),batch = VALUES(batch),id = VALUES(id),payload = VALUES(payload)'] ...

Every time my firefox try to sync the error appear.

I think there is a mistake in the where clause. The column userid does not exist in the table batch_upload_items. In the table only exists the columns batch,id,sortindex,payload,payload_size,ttl_offset.

What i have to do to fix the problem?

midgard Added! Sorry I never noticed it.

Also fixed in epiphany-pantheon-bzr's epiphany-sync!

On firefox-sync:26, "r" is not in getopts's argument, so the -r option cannot be activated.

This package installs a simplified version of the advice on the Wiki. It is suited to a user with a single profile. The systemd service will sync your profile at login and logout.

After installing this package, enable the service:

systemctl --user daemon-reload

systemctl --user enable firefox-sync

systemctl --user start firefox-sync

You can edit the PKGBUILD yourself by adopting the package.

I have some suggestions:

First, I accidentally deleted my other post about the profile never being found on the first run each session. It hadn't happened in so long I thought it might be fixed, but then I realized I still have this syncing at every login:

/etc/xdg/autostart/firefox-sync.desktop https://pastebin.com/xAricymS

Also, the syncfox script doesn't allow for any arguments to be passed to firefox (--private-window, uri, etc) which could be fixed by passing any arguments given to it on to firefox with $@. Specifically, change line 21 in the PKGBUILD:

echo "firefox-sync && firefox && firefox-sync"

to:

echo "firefox-sync && firefox \"\${@}\" && firefox-sync"
