Just finished a Sync, rebooted, and now it's 6days ago since last sync.
Time for reboot is, on average, ~20sec.
I've had this happen every time, after a reboot.
OS: Linux Mint20.3, with FFS donation edition

FFS saves the last sync date upon being closed regularly.
If you reboot with FFS still open, the last sync date is not saved.

As a test, I tried rebooting both ways, closed, then open...
Closed at reboot: sync times preserved
Open at reboot: sync times preserved
Now, for love nor money, I cannot reproduce the sync times not being preserved... Strange!
But in either case, I thank you for the explanation!

Usually config is in fact saved. FFS registers the EVT_END_SESSION event and initiates an emergency exit after saving config files. This works fine on Windows. Have not tested on Linux/macOS.

I dual boot W10/Linux Mint20.3, and have not noticed this phenomena happening on W10, but with persistence on Linux Mint20.3, probably because I spend most of my time on Linux.
Perhaps, one day, more time will be spent developing the Linux version.
Thank you for your explanation, also.
