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...
Thanks for that helpful info. I would also find such a two-way sync to be at odds with my desires. I rather like being more in control of things rather than being at the mercy of the whim of the day WRT how things should work. BTW, if anyone knows of any other tool, preferably offline (cmdline or GUI, either would be OK), or self-hosted, that would be most helpful. I did find something some time ago that appeared to be based on the old Firefox sync, but it is no longer compatible with the current Firefox, and didn't appear to be actively maintained.
