Sync extension data with FirefoxSync /or/ manual import/export of data

[AlexDumi29]

Problem Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, I have to create the same web app all over again on each of my devices.

Please add a clear description of the problem you are seeking to solve with this feature request

Having sync or import/export functionality for the webapps and the profiles (presumably using firefox directly, but anything will do) so I wouldn't have to do it separately on all of my devices and OS's.

Proposed Solution

Describe the solution you'd like clearly and concisely

The extension should have the ability to import and export the current apps, profiles and settings, preferably by itself using some sort of sync, but even manual import/export functionality would be great

You can manually copy config.json file and profiles directory and then run "Update web apps" from the extension settings on a target computer. This will copy all your installed web apps, including their data, and register them to the OS.

I plan to improve project documentation/instructions soon, and I will include those instructions there. Unfortunately, proper/continuous sync using Firefox Sync isn't possible, because most data are stored outside the extension. However, I think you could still sign into Firefox Account from PWA profiles, so at least data from web apps are synced.

Location of config.json and profiles is:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\FirefoxPWA\
• Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/firefoxpwa/ or $HOME/.local/share/firefoxpwa/
• macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/firefoxpwa/
