I was in a somehow similar scenario a few years ago and ended up using profiles.
I created and configured the "perfect" profile on my laptop and made a copy of it on my flash drive. Then whenever I needed to work on a new machine, all I had to was to copy the profile directory from my flash drive.
The details may have changed since then, but I think the idea is still applicable. HTH
This might be a good option for me. Do you have to log on to your account to install the profile or can do without?
Hang on...I'm testing and writing the procedure on my blog. I will post back here as soon as I'm done.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it: https://www.bahmanm.com/2023/07/firefox-profiles-quickly-replicate-your-settings.html
Cool! Thanks a lot! I'll try this out later.
What I do is to use sync but also use a master password so that the important things like passwords aren't accessible without it.
You can also self host your own sync server (even works on iOS)
