@jonathanKingston is it something you can work on?

mayhemer commented 4 years ago

Isn't this a general problem? Or, is it a problem at all? I've never seen syncing addons installation between different devices using the same account before.

jonathanKingston commented 4 years ago

This is a standard feature of sync, I suspect as it's a unlisted or beta signed extension it won't sync.

I wouldn't count this as a major bug even if it was something we could fix in the addon.

bakulf commented 4 years ago

Moved to 0.8 because we want to check this issue again when the extension becomes public.

mhammond commented 4 years ago

This is because the addon can't be found by sync on a.m.o - so I suspect it will start working once the addon is made public.

However, https://private-network.firefox.com/ explicitly says it works now, so you should consider revising the copy on that page.

More context, via internal Slack.

Hey this a copy issue, not a technical issue...let's treat this as a thing to be resolved on SUMO.

This issue is still reproducing in v18. It doesn't seem like a copy issue to us.
