How can I sync only one bookmarks folder across Firefox profiles and accounts, with their smart keywords? (lemmy.world)

If you don't know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn't matter as long as they have the same name.

After a related frustration with firefox recently my guess is that you can not. At least not in a default way.

Tags and keywords are saved in mozillas proprietary jsonlz4 format which is a one way road. Other bookmark exports do not include this metadata and the only way to import jsonlz4 will overwrite the existing bookmarks.

I really hope some one corrects me, if not consider making a profile (firefox -p or about:profiles)and sync the profile.
