I don't ever want sync, so how do I kill it in FF for Android tablet?

I have absolutely no wish to ever have my desktop-based info accessible via my tablet. The devices serve quite different purposes.
Sync, together with the "Aw, s***! Screen" fouls up my Firefox for Android experience so badly that I have to use a different, inferior browser.
It seems mozilla is becoming as authoritarian as MS (or North Korea) in controlling its users' lives - hardly the "open source" community ethos.
Please allow users the ability to kill off unwanted, non-essential elements of Firefox. Building a few on/off switches into the source is a trivial exercise. Of course, it would be better to allow a proper tailoring process at installation, so that the bloatware is only loaded by those who perceive a need for it.

Firefox including firefox desktop has the option to sync but you need to set that up it will not do anything unless you do set it up. Depending on your device it may have its own methods for also syncing some data, but that is nothing to do with Firefox.

Firefox as always remains customisable, and there is very little that you can not opt out of or modify.

    Simply add the account to the Android email app and that's it. The same as any other email program.
    If you also want iCloud calendars and contacts you must use Smoothync (Play Store)

  • How do you quit or close Firefox for Android

    How do you quit or close Firefox for Android ?

    hi John009, you could close firefox like any other android app by going to the task switcher/recent apps list and swiping away the application...
    http://www.wikihow.com/Close-Apps-on-Android
    alternatively when you have set firefox to clear your private data when you exit it within its settings, there will be a dedicated "quit" button shown within the firefox app menu.

  • How to install adobe digital editions on an android tablet

    How do you install adobe digital editions on an android tablet, I understand you cannot is this true??????????

    ADE does not run on Android tablets.
    You need to install an app that supports Adobe DRM, Bluefire and Aldiko are the commonest.
    There is also an Overdrive app if you just want to borrow/download and read DRM library books.

  • How can I pair Firefox browser intalled on Android tablet with my TV?

    My TV is connected to my home network internet through Smart Hub on Samsung Blu-ray. The Smart Hub has its own browser which is very slow and can not be paired with my Android tablet. I could pair YouTube with YouTube/pair though ! I tried to download FF, but the Smart Hub won't do it?

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you had this issue, following is a direct link, but note that you may not receive update notices in the future so you'll have to keep Firefox up-to-date manually.

    There is work in progress to make Firefox mobile available in the amazon app store, see bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690791

  • How to install a certificate on firefox for android?

    Hello, I have a few certificates that are required in my sign in from my bank. The only browsers supported are Firefox and IE. On android there is no option for installing or choosing a certificate during the sign in or before that. How can I fix that?

    Thank you for the reply and the link given. Unfortunately, in terms of security i´m not sure that adding this will fix my problem, having in mind that is preliminary reviewed, i doubt that might create a new problems for me. Speaking of high security the things are a bit more complicated. I hope that in the future versions of Firefox for Android, such problems wont occur. Thank you once again for the support.
