Okay, do the developers of these apps know this doesn't work? I'll give an example. Attached are screenshots of uBlock. On Chrome, when signed into Google, you would enable Cloud support within the addon, then you could upload the settings and download them via any PC you were signed into Google for. Since Firefox Sync syncs addons, I assumed this would work pretty much the same way, if they do not, why do the options exist?

EDIT> Nevermind I synced manually again and it works. I guess it got fixed....

Hi, what cloud options. ? You make changes it is saved, when updates happen it is downloaded lists.

If you are using Sync are you syncing more than 1 device ? If not then you need to stop using sync as that is not what it is for and you will loose your information.
