    That's not for syncing profiles. That just allows you to share (or save) a link to the app on the App Store.

     

    Firefox has it's own ability to sync parts of your user profile. It's built in to the Firefox app and the desktop version of Firefox as well. No need to use Dropbox for that.

I was trying to use Dropbox because on my iPhone when I press on Firefox for a bit it brings up some options.  One was to "Share".  When I tapped that, one of the options was to "send to Dropbox".  I tapped that but can't find anything in my Dropbox.  Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.  I out of my realm on this whole f*ck-up.
