This is a backward-compatible extension to the bookmark record format. Bookmarks in Fennec have a "display" column (defined in the class "BrowserContract.Combined"): 1.38 + public static final int DISPLAY_NORMAL = 0; 1.39 + public static final int DISPLAY_READER = 1; 1.43 + public static final String DISPLAY = "display"; and we have a new root with a new magic GUID: 1.20 + public static final String READING_LIST_FOLDER_GUID = "readinglist";

See Bug 762109 for the Android Sync side of this.

rnewman: should Firefox Sync ignore the reading list folder GUID (like Android) or are you asking for something more?

For the moment, Android doesn't sync "readinglist" or its children. Bug 762109 is the bug for support. For full support we want to extend the bookmark record format to support a "display" enumeration, and also add a new bookmark root on desktop. I don't know what the bug is for desktop Reader Mode/reading list. Mak? Lucas? There will need to be some coordination with Places here.

FWIW, I think we should only consider enabling sync support for readinglist once we implement Reader Mode in desktop Firefox (i.e. Places bits and Reader front-end).

I want to make sure we don't lose this: is this still on ice?

WONTFIX in favor of Bug 1082011.
