Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140218140359 Steps to reproduce: I have a list of sites that are explicitely allowed to store cookies in Preferences -> Privacy -> Exceptions. All other cookies are deleted at the end of a session. Actual results: When syncing, Firefox doesn't sync the exception list. Expected results: The exception list should be synced along with the other preferences.
Component: Untriaged → Sync
Yeah, Sync doesn't try and copy this data. It probably should, along with other site permissions.

I can't see the JIRA issue, I hope this is being actively worked on. I have an annual ceremony of closing my Firefox account and clearing history and as part of this I have to manually update site exceptions. So the synchronisation feature has been basically non-functional for eight years. And I am now seeing lots of handwringing about Firefox only having 4% market share. Could that be because core-functionality has basically been abandoned in the push for services that may or may not earn revenue?
