Anecdotally, I miss the days of Netscape combined with Netscape Enterprise Server. Ran it at college, and you could log in to any Netscape browser and all your bookmarks appeared. Then NES died, Netscape became Mozilla and it all went away.
I see there are bookmark sync extensions, but only bookmarks (and I didn't check if those extensions allow self hosting).
I suppose you could always run Firefox portable from a location that was Dropbox/Nextcloud/syncthing/whatever synced. Just don't run two instances at once, or the SQLite DBs will have a bad time?

Just don't run two instances at once, or the SQLite DBs will have a bad time? I do something to that effect. However, it does not come without problems. Running parallel instances is one of them... Also, cross platform is a problem.
- cricalix 4y agoHypothetically, since I have no way to test this easily right now, you only need to run the profile directory in a synced location and run the exe from a platform-specific portable directory.
- mvdwoord 4y agoI miss Xmarks... I believe it was killed off completely when lastpass was aquired by Logmein, a couple of years ago. Xmarks really hit the spot for me for syncing bookmarks. It did only that, across browsers, across machines, and because It was limited to bookmarks sync, I had no qualms about using the same account on employer provided machines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmarks_Sync https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmarks_Sync
