Description Dan Winship 2011-09-12 15:11:29 UTC 
Epiphany should have a plugin supporting the Firefox Sync protocol (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sync/Specs). This would let you sync bookmarks/history/etc between computers, as well as syncing with Firefox, and various mobile phone browsers that support Firefox Sync.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-05-27 16:11:27 UTC 
According to its developer, epiphany-extensions is not under active development
anymore. (For reference: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2013-May/msg00035.html and bug 700924.)

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
