Is there a method equivalent to Firefox Sync that can be used to sync Firefox on three computers connected to the same home network?

I would like to be able to sync settings between three computers on my home network without the requirement to get on the internet and put everything on a remote server. The computers can already talk to one another and share, so there should be an easy way to assure that Firefox data is sync'd also.

Hi,

Another way would be to do it manually using another application, for eg. SyncToy, by creating the correct pairings between the data on the PCs.

Firefox stores your personal data in a location known as the Firefox Profile Folder separate from its installation files/folder. The extensions folder has the Addons, though some addons may store extra data in the top-level profile folder, the extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite has the addons info, the places.sqlite holds the Bookmarks and History, the prefs.js has the Preferences, the key3.db + signons.sqlite files are needed for the Passwords and finally sessionstore.js for the Tabs.

SyncToy looks like the way to go, and appears to be within my skill level!

Thanks.
