You sure about that? From memory It did work with floccus (though it does it in a weird way).

Floccus for Android is a local standalone app, usefull but doesnt read / write to Firefox Android bookmarks …

Yeah maybe my instructions are ment for backups rather than keeping a workflow in sync with all your devices. Sorry for my bad reading skills !

Appreciated still, I backup with restic but indeed these are usefull for backup.

Also, syncing your whole profile between Desktop/laptop and your phone won’t work that easily… They behave very differently and do not have the same directory structure/files on your phone.

This, for me, is the real answer to “Is filebased sync for Firefox possible?”! Because in a pc / smartphone scenario those apps cant work then with each others directories, thanks!

Thanks!

Must admit … I realise now I am tweaking something I got used to, but going back to why and all … because I do use Floccus icw my own NextCloud instance. But mainly for long-term-archival-avalability and for laptop devices, because Floccus doesnt sync Firefox Android. So from mobile its this:

• Firefox Android add a bookmark
• Sync Firefox Android with Mozilla
• Back at laptop, sync with Mozilla.
• Follow up with Floccus sync on laptop …

At the moment:

• Bookmarks: Floccus sort of
• History: maybe I dont need it if I bookmark more but still usefull …
• Open Tabs: cant live without it
• Adresses: Turned on, but not a knock out,
• Payment: Bitwarden data
• Add-ons: This is very convenient but not a knock out criteria, could just maintain documentation (a list with sources).
• Passwords: Bitwarden sync

So, the focus would be syncing Open Tabs and History …
