* 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.
The benefit of moving users to the current version of Sync is that it is a supported version of the service, which is continuously being worked 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
