Around ten years ago, I switched to Google Chrome from Firefox when it was released. I've gotten tired of Chrome's slowness, so I've been experimenting with Firefox again over the last couple weeks and have made the full switch over!
Oh, I solved (2) pretty easily. I installed its native messenger and put my config into a file that's tracked in git. It automatically carries over to all my machines just like the rest of my config. There's an example here:https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/.tridactylrc …

I did briefly try without the native messenger and rely on standard firefox sync, but I couldn't get that to work in a predictable way and lost all my settings at least once. Going the native messenger route has been rock solid. Also lets me keep my Javascript snippets organized.

Plus, native messenger lets you write in textareas with your favorite editor, and it actually works well. e.g., `set editorcmd terminal -e tmux -u new vim -S /home/andrew/.vim/tridactyl.vim`

So, to make sure I understand: you actually use a dotfiles repo and include your Tridactyl config there? I have some dotfiles repos I use, I just hadn't considered integrating it in yet. I was hoping that there was a way to JUST sync Tridactyl via Firefox or something.

Yup. I've had a dotfiles repo in my
$HOME for years. I'd share it, but it'd be too much work to audit it and clean it up. (Which I should do some day.) Here's my tridactylrc though:https://gist.github.com/BurntSushi/393546a65db38d57cedcfd72c6d89bf3 … - 2 more replies

BTW, I used the native messenger and a local file -- the experience was pretty smooth.
