Firefox Sync: Syncing Shortcuts

[UnrealApex]

It would be nice if Firefox synced shortcuts so users don't need to readd them each time they sync on a new computer.

Hello,
I both love and hate Mozilla.
Why?
Many people use various devices, different operating systems, and—not least—multiple instances of the same Mozilla browser. The synchronization of passwords and similar data is well implemented. However, my different browser instances offer different quick-access shortcuts every time.

PLEASE
Synchronize the pinned shortcuts as well
OR
offer the user an option to do so.
AND
If you improve this feature: Please allow for more rows and columns for the PINNED SHORTCUTS. For example, 8x5 or more instead of 4x5.
Take a look at the old Opera - that was a truly user-friendly solution.
Until they removed it in a user-unfriendly move like you.
I hate discovering, every time I launch an instance - whether on mobile or a different operating system - that my favorites have disappeared.

Thanks
Lutz

A crime this hasn't been implemented yet.

You gotta add this, really

Is shortcut sync now working? I think got a sync without doing anything special. Can others check? Can't see anything about it on release notes.

Guys, I have good news for all of you.

I grew so tired of waiting for a native solution to this issue that I fixed it myself. I've created MosaicSync, an extension that solves this exact problem in a clean, elegant way.

It synchronizes all your shortcuts using native Firefox Sync, meaning no extra logins or external accounts are required.

The add-on is 100% free and open-source: no ads, no telemetry, nothing tracking you.

It should be available on the Mozilla Add-ons store next week:

Here a sneak peek:

I was coincidentally setting up a new computer last week and it seems like the shortcuts did sync - is this finally a feature??

Guys, MosaicSync has been presented to Mozilla. I hope to get it approved in a few days.

Have a look at the extension. I've spent so much time making it to solve this problem and get all your Shortcuts sync across all your firefox without even needing to create an account or register anything. 
Open source, Telemetry Free, no ads.
Hope you like it!

It’s live!

A few days ago I posted here that I had finally grown tired of waiting for this problem to be solved and started building MosaicSync.

I’m very happy to say that Mozilla has now officially approved it and MosaicSync is available on Mozilla Add-ons.

It now includes:

synchronized shortcuts

folders (!!)

two independent Spaces, for example Personal and Work

customizable layouts

automatic favicon discovery

full .mosaicsync profile backup/transfer

I’m genuinely very proud of what this has become, especially because it started directly from the frustration that brought all of us to this thread in the first place.

I would really love feedback from the people here. If you try it, please tell me what works, what doesn’t, what you would change, or what you think is still missing.
