Manual sync required to sync passwords, bookmarks and history but not tabs

[godfuture]

I am testing the new rust sync server for self hosting. I have followed instructions for docker compose and mariadb on https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/how-to/how-to-run-with-docker.html

No issues during setup of docker and database.

To test the new sync environment, I have created two new firefox profiles on client machine and changed "identity.sync.tokenserver.uri" accordingly.

I did the firefox sync login in both profiles and ticked all sync objects. I kept track of about:sync-log and no log files so far. Till this point everything looked fine.

Testing passwords and bookmarks, I noticed that the data never got synced by automatic process. I see the sync progress icon in context menu spinning in both profiles, but no password or bookmark synced nonetheless. Also no log file in about:sync-log on both profiles. Only a manual sync on receiving profile brings up the data immediately. This behavior is 100% reproducible.

For history, it seems I need manual sync on both sending and receiving profile.

This seems not to be the case for tabs. They get synced automatically and in short time.

Firefox -v: 147.0.1
syncstorage build -v: ghcr.io/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/syncstorage-rs-mysql:11659d98f9

Thanks for the report. We triaged this today and don't think it's related to the storage backend.

• Can you reproduce pointing at the Mozilla sync infrastructure?
• Can you reproduce in a new profile and/or with a new (updated) browser version?

There might be some info in the browser console also, but the sync team would probably be the most helpful looking at those logs. I'll leave this open for now but you'll probably get further logging it on bugzilla.mozilla.org under Firefox::FirefoxAccounts
