search history not synching properly
Hey mozilla team,
I have issues with firefox sync as it doesn't sync old search history. Firefox Sync works perfectly for recent search history and chronic, but I imported an old profile (xyz.default) to firefox and logged in with my mozilla account. Started synching so that the old profile's history gets merged with the current one. It doesn't. I can see it in the imported old profile, but if I check history on another device, it's not there (aka only locally but not synced yet).
Is it generally possible to add an existing profile and then syncing it to merge it with the current search history one?

There are restrictions for what history is uploaded to the Sync server. Synced history expires in 60 days New history is uploaded only for the last 30 days
You will have to copy places.sqlite (bookmarks and history) across a profile to get all history.
