And, for computers, the setup process is smoother since all of your data is downloaded in one pass.  Thus, all of your bookmarks will be immediately available. (Note: For the small percentage of you who have several thousand bookmarks, the initial setup may take a little longer).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are my remote tabs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On desktops and laptops, you can now see all of your remote tabs on a single page in content. Additionally, you can access your remote tabs by clicking on the tab arrow at the right end of your tab bar or by typing in about:weave-tabs in your URL bar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Less disruptive &#8220;start over&#8221; flow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When starting over, we&#8217;ve noticed that most of you want to reset your sync direction and do not want to enter your account information before you can do so. So, you now have an option to directly reset your sync direction from the main preferences screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional levels of data protection<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With this  version, Weave Sync will ensure that your most recent client changes  will always persist. This prevents an inactive client from waking up and  overwriting current data. We have  also put in several other fixes that add additional levels of protection of your data on the client.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that starting with this release, Weave Sync will be less strict about requiring that all of your devices run the same version of the add-on. This means in the future you should be able to continue syncing even after upgrading one device to a newer version (say 1.3).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/services\/install.php?addon_id=weave\"><strong>Download Weave Sync<\/strong><\/a> and give it a try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As always, let us know if you have any thoughts\/comments by joining <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla-labs-weave\">our discussion group<\/a>.
