@siklist Good question.
@Waterfox should be able to import things and if you're on #Linux all you need is to sync the subdirectory at $HOME/.config/ with any tool you want.
@fuchsiii does sync her stuff with @nextcloud as it has the #Nextcloud #Bookmarks sync option and she's using multiple devices, OSes and browsers at the same time.
Personally, I do backup, sync and restore my stuff to by personal mini-server at home via #SSH onto an encrypted drive.
Tho my default browser is @torproject / #TorBrowser and that is best used on @tails_live / @tails / #Tails which can also do manual syncing via SSH on the local network.
But what pisses me off is #Mozilla's tone-deaf ignorance of LITERALLY EVERYONE that uses #Firefox that they need to STOP #Enshittifying NOW!

For such a behemoth of a company as Microsoft, it is incredible how many failures it has put out to the world, critical or commercial. MS-DOS 4.0, Microsoft Bob, Internet Explorer 6, Zune, Kin, Lumia and Windows Phone, Kinect, Surface RT, Cortana, Band, Copilot, and every other version of Windows since Me (including Windows 11, out of privacy concerns), those are just the most glaring examples. Truly amazing, Microsoft. Truly remarkable.
What if American workers decided the only ones entitled to be "too big to fail" are us – the ones whose labor built your platforms, whose attention became your product, whose data trained your models, and whose spending made you untouchable?

Shit like this... Going along committing and pulling to the remote server and then BAM "Nah man"
Nothing changed on my end, no settings clicked apply no config changes. Just nope. No real resolution possible, just like the joke "Call Google" am I supposed to "Call Microsoft" and ask for the "GitHub Department" to discuss my "Randomly not working account" Nope.
Time to take control of the means of production fellow workers of the world. I'm migrating everything from GitHub to a local mini-server. I expect to setup many of those little mini-servers here soon. GMKTec, RasPi, who else?
"The regulatory sweet spot for a financial institution is to escape paying for insurance while gambling on an implicit “#toobigtofail” guarantee if anything goes wrong. That’s what happened with money-market funds in 2008–’09. ... In the end, the federal government guaranteed $2.7 trillion of money-market liabilities—for funds that had not paid a cent for this federal protection.
