Sorry. Can't have finished attaching before.

I wonder if that build of Firefox includes the Sync feature?

Linux OS's usually build Firefox from source code rather than use Mozilla build of Firefox for Linux; to allow them to customize their Firefox installation to suit their tastes. When building from source there are many "switches" available to allow the builder a degree of latitude for including or excluding features.

Maybe they just decided not to offer Sync functionality. If that is the case it seems to me that hiding the Sync tab in Preferences would have made sense, but the "rules" for being able to use the Firefox name may have precluded that from being done in the past. Very recently (like the last few months) Mozilla has eased those "rules" and 'builds' are allowed more latitude when they modify Firefox for inclusion in their OS installation and update package.

I have no idea and recommend that you visit the appropriate Linux Lite support forum for an answer. https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php

Hi the-edmeister: I did a quick 2 minute superficial search of the linuxliteos support forums and my guess is that Firefox sync does get compiled into Firefox

Hi jpurssey:

I tried Firefox 55 on Fedora 26 and the sync panel is there: https://www.flickr.com/photos/roland/35780806483/

I asked the person (one of the Firefox engineers) with the Fedora 26 Linux box and he suggested:

setting gfx.webrender.enabled to FALSE

in about:config (screenshot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/roland/36590061655/ )but that's a guess and might not help!

Finally if that doesn't work, I would try asking https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php as the-edmeister suggested

Cheers!

The LinuxLite people told me that the default theme has to be enabled and Firefox restarted. This worked. I didn't ask why the default theme isn't enabled by default (Ha Ha).
