Since Firefox 34, passwords are synced even if a master password is enabled.

For Firefox for Android, however, the knowledge base states: "When Master Password is enabled, passwords will stop syncing" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-master-password-firefox-android

Is this still the recent state of affairs? Is FF android scheduled to be fixed like in the desktop version?

Thank you so much! I was not at all aware that this bug/request dates back to the middle stone age. Now I will make myself familiar with mozilla bug management. All the best, Tom
