Sync-able Firefox Profiles

[Dupe-boule-bagp]

It would be beneficial to have the capability for profiles to synchronize across multiple computers.

Specifically, I am interested in establishing distinct work, personal, and study/school profiles, each of which I would like to seamlessly synchronize across different instances of Firefox on various computers. This synchronization should include bookmarks, open tabs, browsing history, add-ons, and other relevant data.

Additionally, the inclusion of an option to opt out of synchronization would be highly appreciated, especially in situations where I prefer not to have my personal profile synchronized with my work computer.

All of these features should be accessible through a single Firefox account/login.

And it should be easy to switch between profiles.

And containerize them so they don't know about each other.

No way? For real? Hell Yeah

This would be really useful between devices, thanks for suggesting @brandonkw123!

Having this feature would be clearly a benefit.
Or a simple way to copy all user settings/profile and paste it on the other device.

Now, it might be a bit more complicate the copying for different operating system.

Vote on all of them them to get the feature implemented.

Hey all - right now Firefox Sync works on a per-profile basis. So each Firefox Sync account you create can sync one profile. This means you can already sync specific profiles between specific machines.

Rather than create a bunch of different email addresses, you can just append "+" and a string to the user part of a single email address to create distinct Mozilla Accounts.

For example, if your email address is "user@firefox.com", and you want to create a sync account for your "personal" profile and another account for your "school" profile, you could create two new Mozilla Accounts with the usernames "user+personal@firefox.com" and "user+school@firefox.com", then sign into sync in each profile separately.

Does this help? If not, let us know what alternative you have in mind!
