Save All Settings When Sync

[Ikmal]

Hi, recently I just start to use Firefox...again. So, I notice Firefox already have the feature where user can register and login to sync their browser settings, but not all apparently. Please sync all settings once the user login to Firefox browser, like bookmarks, saved passwords, browsing history, browser appearances (light theme, dark theme, customized toolbar), so that when I use Firefox in another PC/laptop, I just need to login to my Firefox browser, and it will be appeared 100% exactly like the previous Firefox in my previous PC/laptop. Chrome does this, and I hope Firefox will too.

I would love to see if sync would work on cookies exceptions. there's already a few ideas also about this:

also the custom search engines:

please add these. I only have 3 devices and already felt the pain of setting these things.

I just created an account just to upvote this.

I've got Firefox installed in 5 different devices and not being able to sync search settings is a bit frustrating. I end up having to copy and paste a file from a firefox profile to another firefox profile. Keeping all the search settings synced is a tiring effort when dealing with this many amount of different devices. Would love to see a more integral "sync", I just want to open firefox just as a I left it from another machine.

I'd really like it if everything on Firefox could sync, for example what AI you use in the sidebar, what world cup team you go for, and that sort of thing. That way even the small things would sync when you sign in on a new device. Thanks!

Hi there,

as mentioned by many users before me, I would really like that EVERYTHING gets synced (saved online), so that it is 100% guaranteed that you can reproduce the exact same Firefox setup on any other machine by just logging in.

This includes (for example):

about:config (flags),

Widgets & their settings,

Settings > search engines & order,

generally, ALL settings (for some reasons, some settings like, e.g., "always underline links" (Accessibility) gets unchecked each time after a new installation.

I really do not understand why almost every section of settings has some settings that do not get saved. It does not make a lot of sense & makes new Firefox installations or using Firefox on a public PC quite bothersome.

The only workaround is: Using "Firefox Portable" because it reproduces the exact same system by carrying the whole browser in 1 portable package (for Cloud drives or USB sticks, etc.).

http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Edition

A fully functional package of Firefox optimized for use on a USB key drive. A specialized launcher will allow most favorite extensions to work as you switch computers.

Firefox Portable is a 3rd-party build. Support is available here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

You can use sync to share data between profiles. But some data cannot be shared between different versions.

Best wishes,
