Thnx, so practically not doable. Also file and directory structure differs between PC and Android adding further to the problem.

You sure about that? From memory It did work with floccus (though it does it in a weird way).

Floccus for Android is a local standalone app, usefull but doesnt read / write to Firefox Android bookmarks …

Yeah maybe my instructions are ment for backups rather than keeping a workflow in sync with all your devices. Sorry for my bad reading skills !

Appreciated still, I backup with restic but indeed these are usefull for backup.

Also, syncing your whole profile between Desktop/laptop and your phone won’t work that easily… They behave very differently and do not have the same directory structure/files on your phone.

This, for me, is the real answer to “Is filebased sync for Firefox possible?”! Because in a pc / smartphone scenario those apps cant work then with each others directories, thanks!

Will check this out, thanks!

Thanks!

Must admit … I realise now I am tweaking something I got used to, but going back to why and all … because I do use Floccus icw my own NextCloud instance. But mainly for long-term-archival-avalability and for laptop devices, because Floccus doesnt sync Firefox Android. So from mobile its this:

• Firefox Android add a bookmark
• Sync Firefox Android with Mozilla
• Back at laptop, sync with Mozilla.
• Follow up with Floccus sync on laptop …

At the moment:

• Bookmarks: Floccus sort of
• History: maybe I dont need it if I bookmark more but still usefull …
• Open Tabs: cant live without it
• Adresses: Turned on, but not a knock out,
• Payment: Bitwarden data
• Add-ons: This is very convenient but not a knock out criteria, could just maintain documentation (a list with sources).
• Passwords: Bitwarden sync

So, the focus would be syncing Open Tabs and History …

Fair point, so I need to trust this server or control it myself etc.
