No syncing about containers-sync HOT 7 OPEN

@AeliusSaionji The issue with yours is a different one. I have released version 1.1.1 which fixes your issue.

I've got the same thing, never worked for me. Maybe due to the Facebook Container add-on? I've now only have the generic Container add-on active and disabled the Facebook Container add-on. Didn't help.

When I "view synced containers", I see containers from my other PC.

But it does not actually take effect locally.

Hi,

I was able to reproduce the issue and suspect that Firefox Sync is the cause for it.
I have created a bug in bugzilla for this.

Have the same problem with not syncing. Does your extension must create storage.sync entries after installing? In about:config I can't see preferences matched to storage.sync string, instead of 2 Firefox defaults:

webextensions.storage.sync.enabled;true
webextensions.storage.sync.serverURL;https://webextensions.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1

I've managed to get the sync to happen by doing a backup on the computer with the containers, making a manual sync on firefox, then manual firefox on the other computer and manual restore.

While it works, it seems that the websites defaults are not, an example I have a facebook container but when I open facebook it doesn't use its container.

Sync is not guaranteed to be immediate. It happens at the discretion of the browser (usually within five minutes).

The problem is that the extension doesn't actually respond to sync changes. @ramkumar-kr, you need to add a browser.storage.onChange.addListener() that actually responds to changes in the sync storage area.

The browser UI for this extension is entirely unnecessary. The extension could handle everything automatically without any user interaction at all by listening for sync changes and update the local contextualIdentities as needed.
