I might just be basic but the only annoying part of reinstalling for me is setting up my browser again.
17 0 ReplyAll hail Firefox Sync!🙌
28 1 ReplyI've used Firefox for over a decade but still wouldn't trust them to keep all my account info on their servers, Especially not nowadays.
I already started using KeypassXC to locally store my passwords, just importing bookmarks and add-ons I've left to do.
10 1 ReplyI think you can selfhost the sync server.
12 0 ReplyI only use Sync for extensions, history and bookmarks. I use an alternative pw manager for the same reason.
8 0 ReplyI use file syncing (Syncthing) and symlinks to keep configs for some apps synced between devices. I don't for Firefox, but it might work.
2 0 ReplyI'm still a newbie Linux user so haven't fully delved into Symlinks...besides bricking a VM trying it once when following a guide.
Can I for instance link a folder where emulators or offline games store save data on my main SSD and have it automatically copied to a folder on my large HDD?
3 0 ReplyIt doesn't copy data, no. Symlink is short for symbolic link. So it's a pointer to another location. But it might be useful for you. Taking a guess at your goal, here's a relevant example.
Say you moved all of your emulation stuff stored under /media/largehdd/retroarch. You could then symlink that directory to ~/.config/retroarch like so:
ln -s /media/largehdd/retroarch ~/.config/retroarch
That data is still stored on the large drive but will now also show under that symlinked directory.
6 0 ReplyYes you can, although this might be better done with rsync - and periodically runnind the syncing command.
But syncthing does basically the same thing plus you can sync between multiple devices on the same network.
I sync my laptop config with work pc this way.

I should really start doing that, not sure why I've never thought of that

Mozilla are maybe the only company I'd trust with that
4 2 ReplyExactly. I've had 0 issues with it. Sadly they stopped development of their own password manager, so now I am using Bitwaren+Vaultwarden. The UI is better, but the app still feels cumbersome and slow, just like Mozilla's experiment. For some reason Bitwarden is also really inconsistent & slow in when it shows the Autofill Popup on my keyboard.
2 0 ReplyI didn't know they tried making their own password manager. I know that on my phone with Gboard I sometimes get an "unlock with Firefox" button in apps' login screens...
