File based syncing of profile data instead of Mozilla sync? (lemmy.ml)

I use Firefox (LibreWolf with Mozilla sync) on multiple devices. To have my tabs, extensions and history easy available I use Mozilla for syncing that data.

Would it be possible to just use a generic sync service like rsync or something, to sync the profile folders and every file in it?

Or would that break or corrupt data?

Fair point, so I need to trust this server or control it myself etc.
