Sync to cloud #118

Open ildar opened 10 years ago

ildar commented 10 years ago

Having FF sync of history, bookmarks and passwords is addictive. I wonder if you could implement it. Actually there's no need to invent the wheel: you could just implement Firefox sync for Lightning. Ideally someone'd better ask Mozilla guys to implement sync as a separate Android service so many other browsers could just use it. (It might be that way already, I just didn't have a chance to check)

There is a module in ownCloud for Bookmarks, so synchronization to it would be a neat feature, too.

Is there an API available for Firefox sync?

ildar commented 10 years ago

Do you mean ​web API to talk with Mozilla Sync servers or FF/Android Java API to talk to FF Sync?

Micha-Btz commented 9 years ago

are here plans for the future? firefox for android is slow and indolent, but the sync to desktop ff is great, so could it be adapted?

anthonycr commented 9 years ago

I would love to be able to integrate firefox sync into the browser, but I don't know how much time it would take or much about the service as I am not a firefox user myself. I will have to do more research.

Also I'm open to pull requests :)

Micha-Btz commented 9 years ago

sadly im not a hacker, so i can help with write code, only testing are possible. The API are documented here i think https://docs.services.mozilla.com/

I second this initiative. I'd be happy with syncing to Firefox, Chrome or Owncloud. What's easier for you. Please include passwords (I know there is no password management in Ligthning, but I've just requested this enhancement. :-))

ildar commented 8 years ago

@anthonycr , getting back to the request: it seems quite easy and straightforward to implement the FF sync as API is simple and clear: https://docs.services.mozilla.com/sync/index.html What do you think?

Gnome epiphany gets the feature sooner then Lightning: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2017/08/09/on-firefox-sync/
