1. How does one copy plugin settings and assoc metadata (e.g., from NoScript) from one profile to another? ...
I imagine that a base profile could be set up then new profiles could be created as copies of that profile. However, what to do in the case of updates, etc., after the new profile is created, and they begin to diverge?
Yes, copying the first profile will bring all it's settings to the new one, and, of course, with time they will be different.
2. Does anyone know of a way to merge bookmarks from the various profiles in to a single, master bookmark list?
I use different profiles for different purposes and heavily "investigating" websites like facebook, google, etc. In this case it is not necessary that all the plugin settings and bookmarks stay the same over all the profiles, because I do not visit the same sites from different profiles... Having facebook, google and the like in separate profiles allows me a less restricted cookie and add-block management, because they cannot follow me thru the web. As somebody already said, you can try to use the ff sync. I myself do not use it anymore. Since they changed it, first I have to make an account (thus making my data personally identifiable, at least theoretically) and second, more important, one cannot choose the direction of synchronisation anymore. In my case this lead to the stupid situation, that my old profiles got synced to the new ones... thus bookmarks, settings... etc. were gone (overwritten with the default settings) and had to be restored from the backup. Give it a try, but make sure you save your original profile somewhere else before starting the sync. I really miss the old sync, especially to update my laptop, but it wouldn't work - it almost always overwrites my originals instead of updating the new one, and I haven’t found out, how to tell in which direction it should do it... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
