>Description:
A reinstallation of firefox (for example, using portupgrade) removes the installation of firefox-sync. This happens with every version of the two I have tried so far (firefox, firefox35, etc.).

As another matter, firefox-sync should be split into separate ports in order to support different versions of the browser. The current way of using an OPTION is ugly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reinstall firefox and observe that firefox-sync is gone.
