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?

Yeah I justed edited my answer, because OP needs to sync everything (Tabs, History, extensions...)

https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs

Is the newer version rewritten in rust ! And probably OPs best bet :)
