Individual Sync Settings

Hello,

is it possible to have individual sync settings for different instances of Firefox? In my case I would like to sync passwords only between my desktop instances and not to my android instance. But every time when I deselect the password sync option on Android it is also deactivated on all other instances. Having the passwords synced to Android is, in my opinion, a security issuse since the Android version of Firefox does not require any unlock procedure (password, pin, pattern, fingerprint, ...) before the stored paswords and log-in data can be used.

Best regards, Heiko

With the same sync account, all selected data is shared. You can not set it up to sync on only some of the selected.

Hello FredMcD,

that is a pity that there is no possibility to do individual settings like this. Maybe Mozilla put this on the wishlist and this will be implemented in a future release.
