Wont work if its PC Smartphone combo

Shameless plug about my own lemmy post about filebased FF sync: https://lemmy.ml/post/27254722

Thnx, so practically not doable. Also file and directory structure differs between PC and Android adding further to the problem.

You sure about that? From memory It did work with floccus (though it does it in a weird way).

Floccus for Android is a local standalone app, usefull but doesnt read / write to Firefox Android bookmarks …

Yeah maybe my instructions are ment for backups rather than keeping a workflow in sync with all your devices. Sorry for my bad reading skills !

Appreciated still, I backup with restic but indeed these are usefull for backup.

Also, syncing your whole profile between Desktop/laptop and your phone won’t work that easily… They behave very differently and do not have the same directory structure/files on your phone.

This, for me, is the real answer to “Is filebased sync for Firefox possible?”! Because in a pc / smartphone scenario those apps cant work then with each others directories, thanks!

Will check this out, thanks!

Thanks!

Must admit … I realise now I am tweaking something I got used to, but going back to why and all … because I do use Floccus icw my own NextCloud instance. But mainly for long-term-archival-avalability and for laptop devices, because Floccus doesnt sync Firefox Android. So from mobile its this:

• Firefox Android add a bookmark
• Sync Firefox Android with Mozilla
• Back at laptop, sync with Mozilla.
• Follow up with Floccus sync on laptop …

At the moment:

• Bookmarks: Floccus sort of
• History: maybe I dont need it if I bookmark more but still usefull …
• Open Tabs: cant live without it
• Adresses: Turned on, but not a knock out,
• Payment: Bitwarden data
• Add-ons: This is very convenient but not a knock out criteria, could just maintain documentation (a list with sources).
• Passwords: Bitwarden sync

So, the focus would be syncing Open Tabs and History …

Fair point, so I need to trust this server or control it myself etc.

Dont know how it performs on such a large collection, but can recommend Fossify Music Player.

Thanks, it was my intention to backup Librewolf app folder for some time now, so this issue was as good a reason as any to implement that first (using Restic).

After that I felt save to tinker and also read about ini and profiles: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/understanding-depth-profile-installation

Luckily both install entries mentioned different default profiles. And when started, Librewolf Profilemanager has the default selected (showing blue/active in my case). So I was able to determine which install was my current one. The other one I deleted from installs.ini and profiles.ini because I am not running multiple instances of Librewolf / Firefox (with each their own set of profiles etc).

Seems to work now, test it once again after a reboot!

Download this ActiveX component to have an extra searchbar, super usefull pinky swear!

Or was that more like 2006?

Do you mean containers? At least it sounds like it.

Or always start with profilemanager. But indeed, also a launch argument.

At the moment, running different profiles simultaneously is not possible

Bullocks. I run 2 or 3 profiles at the same time. For over 2 years now. Just easier now.

We created a Dutch Open Source Business Alliance (DOSBA) in the Netherlands!

I use Joplin also, two years now. But fwiw its a database with markdown writed notes. Its not a management solution for a repository with seperate markdown files per note.

Dont know much about it, but would Droidian or Mobian be feasible? https://devices.droidian.org/#/devices

Also if its for business, anyone signing up agrees with a data-processing-agreement (which I dont known if thats the case here) but normally they promise not to use PII for other services then the one provided.

It would take analysis of that DPA if thats the case or not.

Also not possible with developer options on, USB to PC, ADB or Universal Debloater? https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater

Why do you crosspost this all over the place?

Clock Phone Contacts Gallery etc … Fossify suite!

Another scenario would be all universities cooperate in one instance, like Surf does for all Dutch universities and colleges for vocational training.
