Hi,

Is there a way to sync extension and toolbar customisation? I have decent amount of extensions and sometimes leave the ones that are mostly background services in the overflow menu. Only problem is whenever I sync a new device I have to customise it all over again since the extensions get installed randomly.

Is it not possible to have this not keep happening?

Type https://accounts.firefox.com/settings<enter> in the address bar. You will see a list of what can be synced.

Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles {web link} I use a Legacy add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.

Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.

Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
