settings VS Firefox Sync Server

Hi all, please use this issue to vote on moving our repositories away from Gitlab.com into Codeberg.org. The issue can also be used for further discussion... [vote]

https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/ is the best place to discuss these specific settings..

For the build changes and changes to the source code we have a very infrequent and non-exhaustive change log here https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases, changes to the browser settings are documented in a better way in https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/docs/Changelog.md

I created an MR for this, we'll see if it makes it through..

Sorry that I didn't see this post before, and I'm not sure, but we're adding https certs making it trivial to hijack https? Umm that's not good, thanks for bringing it up. Yes, could you please make it a ticket here? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues

This might be a settings issue. Could you please file an issue with the settings repository? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues

The LibreWolf "user.js" you are looking for is this one: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/librewolf.cfg . But I am pretty sure just using that for Android wont be trivial since there are other prefs/default for android. I would instead just go with Mull, which is pretty much the android equvalent of LibreWolf.

Firefox's sync service is open source [1], so you can self-host it and update your about:config to point to it. I do this and it works great.

Caveat is that I've linked to the old Python one, and they've got a new Rust one, but it didn't support SQLite the last time I had checked.

I'm currently self-hosting Firefox's sync server, its been working good for a year now. Syncing everything, bookmarks, history between Windows, Mac and Android. I like Firefox but I want to switch browsers after reading this (Not necessarily this issue, but the possibilty of something similar that can't be avoided happening in the future).

Been self-hosting their unmaintained repo https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver for 2 years with 0 maintenance required (honestly forgot I had it running until I saw this thread).

Firefox syncserver

Would love to host Firefox Sync Server on a local Pi but the project seems to have died? https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Their issue tracker suggests that it’s mostly due to their team being focused on the main Firefox service:

https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/issues/264#is...

I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to port but if they’re committed to a different direction it’s probably best not to give the impression that you should plan to keep using it.

I just followed the docker-compose guide from official repo: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
