I have a single firefox browser in my desktop. not any other in my phone or other devices. i want to sync my browsing data so that if any time i have installed a fresh operating system my browsing data gets restored automatically. and the way should be automated. not exporting browsing data and importing it back

Hi, Have you looked into setting up Firefox sync? Look under the Tools menu, or in Edit/Preferences and look for the Sync tab.

Alternatively, backing up Firefox involves copying one folder, as per this article. If you wish to automate that with an online storage provider it should be possible using any backup program.

Hope that helps.

Ian.
