What does Auto-sync do, exactly?

I think I may know the answer to my own question. I thought that Auto-sync had to be enabled for synchronization at time intervals to happen. However, I am using Git syncing, and I just noticed a ton of commits in my repo, probably one for each change I was actively making in my Firefox bookmarks. So, put another way: Does Auto-sync mean that every change to your local bookmarks copy triggers a sync action?

Yes, Auto-sync will sync at given intervals as well as a few seconds after any change to your local bookmarks.

Thank you. Now I understand. Toggling it on enables both types of automatic syncing. The syncing at intervals will periodically grab changes made on other devices participating in the profile.

Yes, that's correct.
