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.

This won't happen, though.

Cant you syncthing the profile directory between devices?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.)

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.
