These steps have to be followed in a strict order. Failing to do it would probably lead to issues. This should also work in Firefox based browsers like Mull (tested) and others.

  • Open Firefox Browser -> Settings -> About Firefox -> tap 5 times in Firefox logo.
  • Go back to Settings -> Account -> you should see a new option Sync Debug, tap on it.
  • Select Custom Sync server and write there your endpoint. It should be https://ffsync.costmiku.space/1.0/sync/1.5.
  • Exit Firefox completely, reopen and then follow the steps of "Connect a device" to your Firefox account.
  • After a successful auth process the sync should start working.

Configure Firefox on iOS

Not tested.

  • Open Firefox Browser -> Settings -> About Firefox -> tap on the field with Firefox and version number.
  • Go back to Settings -> Account -> you should see a new option Advanced Sync Settings, tap on it.
  • Toggle Use Custom Sync Token Server and write there your endpoint. It should be https://ffsync.costmiku.space/.
  • You might also need to toggle the switch for custom FxA login server and set it to https://accounts.firefox.com
  • Exit Firefox completely, reopen and then follow the steps of "Connect a device" to your Firefox account.
  • After a successful auth process the sync should start working.
