I am using Mozilla Sync 1.1 with an owncloud server to sync bookmarks
so far sync only supports RC4 weak cipher on Android
there have been some major improvements reported towards a stronger set of ciphers - here;
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=889749
will these improvements find their way into pale moon for Android - which version?
Sync with stronger ciphers than RC4?

AES-128 and AES-256 added to the working tree. Probably in the next version after 24.7 (that's in release stages right now, too late to add).
Considering the low risk of the RC4 numerical bias for sync, it's not an immediate concern.

Re: Sync with stronger ciphers than RC4?
this is good news since RC4 is less and less suported, esp. in combination with shared web hosts where the cipher suite cannot easily be modified.
I certainly give it a try then ... thanx

I've pushed it forward just in case. It'll be in 24.7/Android.

just downloaded and installed 24.7.1 and successfully synced bookmarks with an owncloud site offering only strong ciphers.
THANX!
