Sync not working in Firefox
Describe the issue
I just installed Authenticator in a second machine, and I assumed¹ I'd get all my entries synced over along with bookmarks and everything else. Unfortunately, the list is just blank.
Did I misunderstood how this was supposed to work? Or is there something that is misbehaving. I looked at the Firefox sync logs, but couldn't find anything about Authenticator in there.
Help? :/
¹ Based on the extension description "Sync your secrets with your Firefox Account"

It tends to be finicky and we can't do much to improve it. It should get synced along with other extension data. Try doing "Sync Now" in Settings > Sync first on the source computer, then on the destination. Other than that there isn't much we can do about it.
That's a shame. I tried your suggestion, and unfortunately I'm still getting no entries on the second machine. :/
I noticed that 'Add-ons' wasn't enabled in the sync settings. I wonder if that is required for it to sync add-on settings?
It doesn't seem to be sufficient, though, as I enabled it and re-did the sync song and dance on both machines. Still no entries. :/
Do you know if there is any log that should show something if things are correctly syncing? I don't know where to even start trying to debug this.
Any bug reports to Mozilla about this?
I noticed that 'Add-ons' wasn't enabled in the sync settings. I wonder if that is required for it to sync add-on settings?
Yes, I belive 'Add-ons' is required to sync add-ons data.
