Pretty sure only the filesystem will change - so if you are synchronised as a backup, just zip up that folder and pull out what you need for the new install. I had no issues re-installing with BTRFS from ext4 and restoring a backup file a few months back.

Also, I’d say definitely stop using these for passwords, if you use Bitwarden or something similar then you can have the same stuff for your phones/tablets/computers everywhere that don’t rely on local files.

If I start a session somewhere outside my home environment, I can pull up Bitwarden and log in with no issues - nothing saved to the browser and no conflicts between phone/desktop etc (e.g. icloud passwords clashing with ones I use on my desktop - I use Bitwarden on an iphone too).

Yes. I wrote down the procedure a few weeks ago which may come in handy for you as well: bahmanm.com/…/firefox-profiles-quickly-replicate-…

Thanks!

RiderExMachina,

Yes. Copy the [random gibberish] folder itself from %AppData%/firefox into the .Mozilla/firefox folder.

I think yes, but also, use sync.

Aren’t they synchronized with the Firefox account?

@gabriele97 @caboclo I have diferent profiles with diferent folders. I will be easier to bring them even with sync.

clmbmb,

Not everything is synchronized, unfortunately. Especially if you have done some changes with chrome/userChrome.css, but other things too.
