Firefox Sync and User Dictionary

[michaelmmunoz]

Hello everybody,

is it possible to sync a "User Dictionary" via Firefox (Mozilla) Sync? Or is there a other way to sync this between multiple Installations and Versions from Firefox? Some of my are on Windows, some on Linux, some are ESR Installations and some not.

Not a very elegant solution but you could post the file persdict.dat to some cloud based storage (SugarSync, Dropbox or the like) or carry it on a flash drive and download it to each system as required.

Taking this further: copy persdict to dropbox etc then close FF & create a hardlink/symbolic link in the FF folder pointing to the actual file in the cloud folder. You can then create similar symlinks on other machines and they'll all point to the same file. Dropbox will handle and conflicts if they arise but they shouldn't assuming you're only typing and updating the dictionary in one place at a time.
