Hello, I am very pleased to announce that we have just enabled Firefox Sync for Firefox OS phones in master \o/.
Foxfooders should be able to start using Firefox Sync on their phones after installing the next OTA. As you may know, we already enabled Firefox Sync on Firefox OS TVs with read-only bookmarks and history synchronization. For now, we are only enabling history synchronization in read-only mode on phones. Bookmarks and read-write synchronization will come very soon along with other collections like passwords or forms data. If you are new to Sync, you will first need to set it up on your desktop computer running Firefox, your Firefox for Android or Firefox for iOS. After you have successfully set up Sync on one of these platforms, you can then proceed to set up Sync on your Firefox OS phone. This limitation will be removed once we have read-write synchronization. Take into account that foxfooders will initially be using a dev instance of the Syncto server [1], which is the proxy that we have between Firefox OS devices and Sync servers. This is not a monitored server, so there might be some unexpected issues on the service. We are eagerly looking for early feedback, so please, give it a chance and file any issue that you find blocking this meta bug [2]. Finally, I'd like to thanks to everyone involved in this project for the great effort made here. Especially the Data Sync and Cloud Services teams, who along with Sync, are working on other exciting projects for Firefox OS [3]. I invite you to subscribe to the dev-fxos-sync list [4] if you want to follow the progress of these projects.
