firefox sync setup

16 Oct 2013

so this is how to set up a server. i followed to guide from mozilla and it worked well and was easy to follow.

i got tripped up using my phone as there were some issues when i tried to use ssl. all these issues stemmed from the FxSync client on android.

the first was needing to add the intermediate certificate to my ssl certificate. just concat both files into one.

the other was more tricky. FxSync uses RC4-SHA cipher for ssl. this was not enabled by default on my server. enabling it fixed my issues and everything synced up nicely.
