Something strange has started happening recently in my copy of Icecat.
I noticed when doing an rsync between computers that files like this
have started to appear:
~/.mozilla/icecat/<my-browser-profile>.cwebber/weave/logs/error-sync-1523477157978.txt
I have logs for these as far back as April 3rd. I notice that the
directory appears to have been created on June 9th 2017, which may have
been the last time I created a fresh profile... I'm not sure.
At any rate the logs look like:
1523477157946 Sync.Service INFO Starting sync at 2018-04-11 15:05:57

This is strange IMO. I never enabled sync, so why is it even *trying*?
Furthermore, the Sync tab in Icecat's settings page does not even open
for me.
Anyone seen similar things? I'd love to disable this entirely. I
haven't done a tcpdump to check but I hope it's not pinging the server
for this. It's not the most serious thing I suppose since it never gets
past login, but it's still troubling.
I am not subscribed to this list so please Cc me on future replies.
