Does Firefox Sync save user.js and overrides? (lemmy.zip)

If I use arkenfox and make a bunch of overrides, do I need to make sure to back it up and manually install on every fresh installation or does Firefox Sync take care of that?

What about extension settings? Is there a universal rule or is it per extension and up to them?

There is a ability, iirc for extensions to use your Mozilla Sync account for storing settings. However it´s up to each extension developr to include this.

Yes, turns out you need to manually enable in ublock and then manually export your rules yourself. Better than nothing, I guess.

You have to take care of your backup. Mozilla takes care about ai and translations.

To be honest I think it's better they don't sync these kind of things that are "hacky". Someone who breaks his Firefox and don't remember how should be able to make a fresh install to fix everything.
