Oh nice, Can I still sync my Firefox account with it? Been looking for an alternative so I can use FF for both work and home.

If you’re looking for a bookmark sync, check out floccus, a FOSS plugin for Firefox and chromium browsers that will sync your bookmarks to a cloud storage and across your browsers.

Oh sweet, I think I'll give this a try. Thanks!

Haven't heard of that but I'm using xBrowsersync for my bookmarks so I wouldn't need to rely on Firefox Sync.

Looks interesting but seems to be getting abandoned unfortunately.

What I enjoy about floccus is that there is no additional app to interact with; you just save book marks as you normally would in any browser and it auto syncs the structure of your bookmarks to other browsers, so it is always easy and familiar to get to.

Last time I checked it has the sync removed.

You can reenable that in the settings, but it's off by default. I use it everyday

Nice Ty. Can you share how to do it?

You can also do it with the normal settings menu (about:preferences). The setting is called "Enable Firefox Sync" under the tab "LibreWolf". Might be a bit easier this way.

You can re-enable it in about:config

Have started using it today, can confirm it's just an option to toggle in the settings
