This might be a good place to ask this:
So, the idea of Firefox Sync is almost cool, but what I'd like is literally everything EXACTLY "synced," down to the current state of every tab.
Something like this feels like it should do it, but I've tried this and other things, and it just didn't work all that seamlessly.
Has anyone accomplished anything like this for browsers and use it regularly?
- organsnyder 2y agoSeems like a remote desktop solution is always going to be better at this—I'd imagine there's a long tail of weird website behavior trying to sync browser state. Or just carry a laptop.
- toenail 2y agoI rsync my entire firefox profile from workstation to workstation, sync sucks.
- jd3 2y agoI sync my entire firefox profile to multiple machines using syncthing https://tonsky.me/blog/syncthing/ https://tonsky.me/blog/syncthing/ https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/
- jrm4 2y agoThat's funny, I'm a heavy user of syncthing but never thought to try this. It doesn't get weird opening different executables on different machines?
- jd3 2y agoIt's been awhile since I've touched the config, but I think I ignore arch-specific executables using https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html. I also haven't checked my Windows machine that it syncs with recently, so there might be issues on the latest ff etc etc. I started doing this with SeaMonkey, whose profile is simpler conceptually since it's still built on top of an old firefox legacy esr.
