* 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.
* Open question: Are we forcing an update or just letting users self-discover this?
* What will the experience be if someone is trying to download the add-on and they don't have it installed? Does the installation do nothing? Can we block them from doing this?
|Feature overview=Firefox Sync has been integrated into the client since version 4 and the Firefox Sync Add-on will not longer be maintained. This is a plan to end of life the use of the Firefox Sync Add-on. Users in 3.6.* will continue to use the Sync Add-on until they upgrade to FF 4+ and the Sync Add-on will not have an update for 3.6.* users. Users who upgraded to Firefox 4 or greater and who had the Sync Add-on installed still show that the add-on is active, even though Sync is using the integrated client. This is a plan to get Sync add-on users off the Sync add-on and onto the most current version of Sync. Phase 1, is to provide a path for the users to uninstall the Sync add-on.
* Provide Services Support instructions expected behavior. Owner: Jen . Status: Not Started
* Provide Product Planning and PMM the schedule of the plan. Owner: Jen. Status: Not Started
* PMM keeps touting Sync as part of the next few releases. (With rapid release, we are finding that some users do not notice when new features come online and so we should keep promoting them with subsequent releases). Owner: PMM. Status: Not started
|Feature requirements=* Existing add-on users must have a seamless uninstall experience when updating the add-on.
* (nice to have) No user Sync data gets lost.
|Feature non-goals=* Disabling the AMO page for Firefox Sync. This will be part of Phase 2 when 3.6.* EOL.
|Feature functional spec=Sync Add-on page Update* On [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/firefox-sync/ Sync Add-on Page], edit the messaging. '''Old:'''Note: Firefox Sync is built into Firefox 4 and later! We recommend you upgrade to the latest Firefox version instead of installing this add-on. '''New:'''Note: Firefox Sync is built into Firefox 4 and later! We recommend you upgrade to the latest Firefox version. Installing this add-on will remove any instance of the Sync Add-on or will do nothing. To set up Firefox Sync please see this [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync page]. The flow below should be the same across all OS's, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
* Manual download from the Sync Add-on page for users with FF4+
