Hi,

Is there a way to sync extension and toolbar customisation? I have decent amount of extensions and sometimes leave the ones that are mostly background services in the overflow menu. Only problem is whenever I sync a new device I have to customise it all over again since the extensions get installed randomly.

Is it not possible to have this not keep happening?

Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles {web link} I use a Legacy add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.

Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.

Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
