Can you Sync FF without going online? Homenetwork only.
I want a home network solution to sync FF with. I'm not fond of the idea of sending password info across the net to get it to my network computer....
Chosen solution
I've found my main problem with sync programs(currently using syncbackpro) is the file lock when FF is in used and slightly after use. I think I have my issue mostly fixed, I have auto sync that syncs everything 2 ways, but it can not do it for the 7 or so locked files in appdata, then when I am ready to use the other comp just hit manual sync with FF off.
It's not perfect but nothing is going to work well with a program running unless its made for it.
I just need to remember only one needs to be on at once.

H ZippyDSMlee, Sync is secure with end to end encryption.
You must sgn in to your network to use Firefox and Firefox Sync, just as you must sign in to your computer (Lets assume you use basic security and have to sign in to your Windows PCs to use them.)
It is actually possible to set up your own Sync server, but that ios an advanced method more suited to enterprise or Company use of Firefox than something Individuals tend to do.
Possibly all you need to do is consider manually cloning certain files, for instance the bookmarks so that they match on multiple computers.
If you would like more information about those options please let me know.
You would need to set up your own Sync server. https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html
Support for doing that isn't available here.

I was assuming you were using Firefox's Sync
SyncBackPro Is apparently third party software:
