Second Beta of Weave Sync add-on

Thanks for all the feedback for Weave Sync beta 1. We’ve got a second beta for you to try out which incorporates a number of fixes to issues that people have been reporting. If you’re using Weave Sync, you should have already gotten an add-on update notification on each of your machines.

For those who are new the project, check out the main features of Weave and see what we’ve been preparing for these beta releases. To start syncing your data, just install Weave Sync on Firefox 3.5 or newer.

What’s changed in Beta 2?

  • Improved password/secret phrase recovery flow: this should better guide users who have trouble setting up their second machine
  • Better handling of same-named folders when partially syncing: some users were seeing bookmarks moved to the wrong folder of the same name
  • Sync history deletions from one computer to another: deleting a page on one computer will make it disappear from other computers (just like bookmarks)
  • Automatic naming of computers: when viewing tabs from other computers, you’ll see a name based on the computer’s name and user name

As always, please keep reporting bugs and leaving feedback on our forum.

– Edward Lee, on behalf of the Weave team

Edward mainly hacks on Weave. He also helps out with cool Firefox features like Jetpack and AwesomeBar to help users quickly get to what they want. (Or maybe it's that Ed wants to get quickly to news about Mario and Nintendo games, and everyone benefits!)
