Yes sync is compatible for multiple computers/devices, even the same
computer if you
run multiple profiles, or Multiple browsers that support Sync (like
SeaMonkey and
Firefox).
As far as 'is one a master' assuming I understand your question right,
neither
computer/profile is a master by the traditional sense of the word. You
can make
changes in both profiles, and Sync will combine those changes.
Thanks! I think you correctly deduced what I was trying to ask.
It sounds like sync is also perfect for migrating from, say, XP on one
computer to Win7 on another, yes?
It made *my* transition for XP to Win7 much easier (it does not "yet"
migrate newsgroup/mail settings, but still was remarkably helpful)
The default 'master' is a Server hosted by Mozilla,
I assume it acts as intermediary and not as a storage point.
No, it *does* store data, so you don't need, say your WinXP machine up
and running when you sync to your win7 machine. That said, no-one but
you can retrieve/deduce the data from your sync account.
