Need to share Firefox profiles between multiple computers

Have a desktop and 2 laptops, (old and new). Need to share 100% of the desktop's Firefox profile directory structure with the 2 laptops. Meaning from the desktop;

scp -rp .mozilla/* laptop:~/.mozilla/

For security reasons, (and yes, I do work with government mandated private information), I can not share anything beyond my computers. So, the cloud is out of the question.

All I want is to copy my home directory from the desktop to the laptops, when needed.
