How to use it? You need to do a daemon-reload and enable/start the systemd service user unit:

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable firefox-sync
systemctl --user start firefox-sync

Also, you can enable the timer to sync every hour (in case you're using a laptop and experience unexpected shutdowns):

systemctl --user enable firefox-sync-cron --now

For more information, see wiki.

Yeah, syncfox calls firefox. Also, this package seems totally useless without firefox - do you have a usage in mind?

Does this really depend on firefox? Wouldn't it be enough to make this dependency optional?

I've added the firefox wrapper script, called syncfox, to version 20101009.

Remember you need to run firefox-sync from time to time for this to do anything. I run it on zlogin and zlogout (aka bash_login and bash_logout). Another nice way would be to use a firefox wrapper that does sync before and after firefox.
