Preferences that Firefox will sync
Firefox whitelists the preferences that it will sync. Every preference that is synced appears in this whitelist. The whitelist itself is also stored in preferences, which includes every preference starting with services.sync.prefs.sync. (also known as a “control preference”). These preferences will only be synced if their control preferences have been set to true in the Configuration Editor for Firefox (about:config page). For example, the browser.urlbar.suggest.history preference will be synced only if the services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.urlbar.suggest.history control preference has been set to true.
Disable sync for a default preference
Firefox automatically creates a default whitelist, which is how it determines the default list of preferences to sync. If you don’t want to sync a default preference, you can change its control preference to false. For example, if you set services.sync.prefs.sync.<some preference> to false, then its related preference won’t be synced.
Sync custom preferences
For safety reasons, only preferences that already have a local control preference will be applied locally. For example, if you want to sync a new preference that isn’t in the default list, you will need to ensure the new control preference has been created on every device. Firefox Sync won’t automatically copy custom control preferences to new devices.
This can be an issue for users who have many custom preferences synced. When adding a new device, they will need to ensure all the custom control preferences are set up on the new device before those preferences are synced.
To assist setting up new devices, there’s another preference, services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary, which controls this behavior. If you set this preference to true, then all preferences will be synced to the new device and not just those with an existing control preference. Therefore, users with many custom preferences can set the services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary preference to true, perform the sync once, and then set this preference back to false. This will cause all remote preferences to be applied.
