  <td>Is this only for desktop to desktop add-on syncing? Like AdBlock Plus. If this works across devices great! If not the priority is first to get desktop to desktop working and then worry about mobile. I need to understand the work involved.
  </td>
  <td>This will work between add-ons belonging to the same application ID (e.g. desktop, Fennec). The system will be forward compatible, so if we want to try enabling syncing across applications of different IDs, we can do that easily.
<br/>JA - Let's stick to same application ID for now.

Why does Sync need to be used for updating add-ons? Would the user not be prompted to update the add-on through the browser?
  </td>
  <td>
It doesn't need to be used for updating add-ons. This is just an easy win. It can easily be postponed to after the initial release.
<br/>JA - I would rather postpone because I do not really see the value add since the user already has a way to do this. If this solves a pain point the user has with the current update process of add-ons maybe we can talk to the add-on folks to have them solve it.

|Feature products notes=Cutting having sync update the add-ons since that mechanism is already a part of Firefox. I will follow up with FF folks to see if Sync does bring value. We can address it later.
|Feature products notes=; Update syncing cut : Syncing on add-on update is cut because an updating mechanism is already part of Firefox. I will follow up with FF folks to see if Sync does bring value. We can address it later.
; Only sync between the same application : Add-ons will initially only sync between applications of the same application ID. This is because most add-ons aren't compatible across different applications.
