Hi, Syncing is for syncing devices (plural) and the hard drive does not cut it. You can if have access to the hard drive to do these by USB Key from one system to another :
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
Note using 1 device only to sync it's contents will lead to failure in the long run as that is not how it is designed to perform. You should delete that device from your Sync Account.
i will try to connect my old HDD as external hard drive and get the old firefox profile to copy it to the new firefox profile and will post the result >>
