  > For about:config, I put all my rules in a user.js file. Make that file in a synced folder (Dropbox, Nextcloud, Syncthing, etc.), go to your FF profile folder, and in there make a symlink to the actual synced user.js. That's exactly what I did, except I just forked the ghacks-user.js user.js file with the changes I needed I then made a desktop branch, and an android branch. https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-user.js/tree/fx-desktop https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-user.js/tree/fx-desktop https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-user.js/tree/fx-android https://github.com/dngray/ghacks-user.js/tree/fx-android The main reason I'll never use Chrome is because on Android that means no extensions whatsoever, meaning I'd have to give up uBlock and uMatrix. It's also why I wouldn't buy an iPhone (Firefox on iOS isn't allowed to have extensions). A user.js file can be deployed on Android https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.6-Firefox-Android https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.6-Fire... (I use the non-rooted instructions). On my desktop I have it hooked in with my bootstrap script. I use Yadm https://yadm.io/ https://yadm.io/ #!/usr/bin/env bash firefox() { local -n branches=$1 local b p d="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/firefox/ghacks-user.js for p in "${!branches[@]}" do b=${branches["$p"]} printf 'Configuring "%s" on "%s"\n' "$p" "$b" ln -sf "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/firefox/chrome/userChrome.css ~/.mozilla/firefox/"$p"/chrome/userChrome.css git --git-dir="$d/.git" --work-tree="$d" checkout "$b" && cp "$d/user.js" ~/.mozilla/firefox/"$p"/user.js done } The function takes in an array: firefox_data_path="mozilla/firefox.json" declare -A fx_profiles while read -r profile; read -r branch; do fx_profiles[$profile]=$branch done < <(jq -r '.[] | .profile, .branch' "$template_data_path/$firefox_data_path") firefox fx_profiles Which simply reads in a bunch of profiles and what branch they are supposed to be from a json file: [ { "profile": "user.default", "branch": "fx-desktop" } ]
