User reviews

Users appreciate About Sync for its ability to reset sync history quickly and restore synced tabs, making it easier to manage sync issues across browsers, including private sync servers. However, some find it not very user-friendly, feeling it's more targeted at developers. There is a desire for features like reporting sync failures to Mozilla and support for Firefox on Android.

Pros

Helps reset sync history easily with one click
Useful for restoring synced tabs
Assists in identifying sync issues between browsers
Facilitates checking of private sync servers

Cons

Not user-friendly, appears designed more for developers
Lacks an option to report sync failures directly to Mozilla
No support for Firefox for Android
