I always avoided clouds and potantial botnets. But now I run two systems and want to sync my Firefox links between these two.

Is Firefox sync save or should I avoid it? Which method of sync do you recommend / use?

Just copy your mozilla dir or something.

You can read everything about how firefox does sync for yourself, that's hopefully why you're using a libre browser instead of a botnet in the first place.
Personally I don't sync my browser data at all, even for bookmarks it's just less annoying to do it manually.

Yes but I don't want to do it every time. I use both PCs and can't bookmark something on one PC without losing new bookmarks on the other without having synced it before.
>>
>>60247746
As long as Sync isn't peer-to-peer and uses a third-party server, no.
Then it's not save

If you trust the developers any more, Pale Moon have their own sync infrastructure.
You're still storing stuff online though. I'd say just keep a memory stick with an automatically synced folder or something if you're really concerned.

You can host your own mozilla sync server at home if you are concerned.
>>
>>60248849
how?
>>
>>60248775
Don't listen to this retard, good encryption is far more important. Would you move your cleartext browser profile around using a p2p service? If so, tell me which one so I can start harvesting.

>TFW I don't own a USB drive
I currently use a 1.5 TB external drive "external" means its a SATA cable with a bare HDD hanging on it
>>60248849
Would it be possible to run such a program on my own webspace? I don't have a server (planning to get a NAS somewhen to ease some things) but I wouldn't be willing to buy expensive new hardware or use my 125W Phenom system to run one task on it.

I'm still unsure if I should just buy a QNAP NAS or try to build my own ITX homeserver with some ULV Celeron CPU.
>>
>>60248860
Just fucking google it.
>>
>>60247746
The only other option is to keep your firefox profile in a networked location, and configure both browsers to load your profile from that location. I've done that to share a Thunderbird profile between 2 machines before.
>>
>>60248893
I was in a similar dilemma. Eventually I went with QNAP due to similar cost of home built and vastly simpler configuration.
The available prepackaged apps sweetened the deal.
>>
>>60248946
I could a cheap QNAP very cheap and don't have high requirements, I need two bays to access my movies and files on both computers.

If the NAS could run Jdownloader it would be a dream.
>>
>>60247746
As safe as a Google Sync. You give you data to a third party.
> Which method of sync do you recommend / use?
I don't know much about Firefox, but you may try syncing a profile folder through ownCloud, btsync or something.
