Affected versions

  • 68.0, 69.0b5, 70.a1;

Affected platforms

  • all;

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Firefox and sign in to sync with an existing acconut;
  2. Click on the Hambourger menu -> Manage account;
  3. Click on the Show button for the Devices & apps section.

Enhancement suggestion

  • add an option to select multiple sessions to be disconnected at once;
  • the process for just one takes a few seconds, having to do it for more becomes unpleasant;

Actual result

  • Each connected device is listed;

Regression range

  • not a regression;

Additional notes

  • attached screenshot to better illustrate my point, cleared location with the pretty rectangles;
  • pretty much an edge case scenario since in all fairness no regular user would have this many sessions sync'd.

True, but I reckon it would make a lot of dev and QA folks on a lot of teams happier :-)

Component: Sync → Server: Firefox Accounts
Product: Firefox → Cloud Services

As I'm averse to a redesign that complicates the UI for most users, this sounds like a job for a hidden shortcut or something.

If the user entered a secret slug into the URL like this, could we simply disconnect all of the clients without warning?

https://accounts.firefox.com/settings/clients/clear

Another option is to skip the Disconnect dialog when the user clicks Disconnect… with ctrl-key pressed.

Would either of those ideas work?

Thank you for filing this issue. This is not currently on our roadmap, and in an effort to focus our work, we are closing old issues that we are unlikely to be closed in the future. Thanks again.
