|Feature open issues and risks=* Add-on users stop using Sync because they believe it has been disabled.
* Sync web search results confusing because the AMO link shows up and we are advising to not use the Add-on on the AMO page.
|Feature overview=Firefox Sync has been integrated into the client since version 4. Users in 3.6.* are still using the Sync Add-on and need migrate over to using the built in Sync. Users who upgraded to Firefox 4 and above who had the Sync Add-on installed still show that the add-on is active, even though Sync is using the integrated client.
We need a plan to migrate the users of the Sync add-on onto the integrated Sync. This plan is phase 1 of a two phase plan to end of life the Firefox Sync Add-on
|Feature users and use cases=* For FF 3.6.* users, the Sync add-on will keep working as before. It must be communicated that the Sync Add-on is not longer maintained.
* For FF3.6 Sync add-on users who upgraded to FF4+ and still have the add-on installed. Steps to upgrade are below for manual upgrade
** User goes to the Sync AMO page
** User downloads the Sync Add-on
** The Sync Add-on uninstalls any installed Sync add-on
** A new tab (hanger) page will appear explaining what happened and links to Sync page
* For FF4+ users who still have the add-on installed. Steps to upgrade are below for automatic upgrade
** User gets prompted Sync add-on has an update
** User downloads the Sync Add-on
** The Sync Add-on uninstalls any installed Sync add-on
** A new tab (hanger) page will appear explaining what happened and links to Sync page
|Feature dependencies=* Sync Add-on references removed from
|Feature requirements=* User must see messaging explaining the uninstall of the add-on and where to get more information on Sync.
* Sync service must not be disrupted
* (nice to have) No user Sync data is lost.
|Feature non-goals=* Disabling the AMO page for Firefox Sync. This will be part of Phase 2 when 3.6.* EOL.
