Hello Mozilla Connect Community, I’m Chance York, a User Researcher on the Firefox User Research team. I’m reaching out because our team has created a survey to gather opinions on a handful of browser features, some of which were suggested previously on Mozilla Connect. Your feedback on this survey...
I’d love to be able to snyc everything (all settings, including user.js, etc.; all extensions and all of their configuration; all visual changes, including userChrome.css and additional files; all website configurations, including all cookies). Basically a 1:! copy of the user profile directory.
I could write a wrapper script that synchronizes the directory between two Linux machines quite easy, yes. The script would even make sure that the browser is not running.
That’s a simple task, but not my point.
(Let alone syncing the data between at least 4 different operating systems running on 3 different device classes.)

Cant you syncthing the profile directory between devices?

I think Syncthing runs on most OSes now. You would just point at a folder and register the token for them and it does the rest.
Thank you, I know how to synchronize data between different endpoints.
Again: this is not my point.
