So why not use a cloud system, such as the Bookmark app for Nextcloud, which is convenient for that and seems to be available for Android too. The only risk I see is that the owner of different VMs may be identified as the same. But if the problem is anonymity at this level, then, when required, it is better to use a Wonix qube with a different list of bookmarks. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to qubes-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to qubes-users@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/20190118013837.keqgry63jatpvd5s%40thirdeyesecurity.org > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

So disable (or do not enable it in the first place) in all of your domains EXCEPT the one and only one you want to use it in for "backup". Oh, and ONLY set Firefox to synchronize bookmarks (no history, passwords, etc.). Particularly if you are treating that domain as untrusted, I do not see what the problem is. Or am I missing the point of your wanting to synchronize bookmarks in that one domain? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Firefox Account SyncVM
I understand your point here but what if I simply do not want to sync my bookmarks, history etc with the cloud. What if I do not want to share those bookmarks between AppVMs. But what if I need to sync this offline inside AppVM that I use in specific domain? The problem here is that in many cases users are forgetting to backup their goodies and not everyone want to sync all this with cloud account. I'm not expert in that area and trying to find out if anyone know it this type of sync is even possible. Thanks Guys.

Re: [qubes-users] Firefox Account SyncVM
I am sure there are different opinions out there, but my thoughts would be: 1) Using a "cloud" account to sync is not as secure (somebody can get access, change URLs in your book mark account and your potentially owned) 2) Using other 3rd parties is less secure (Personally I don't trust LastPass, I also don't think it is open source) 3) Using the 'cloud" to circumvent Qubes isolation is less secure (i.e. Password plugin with my passwords in a cloud) I really like the convenience of a plugin for my passwords but unfortunately I don't want to compromise my security even if it is slightly less...I am open for another opinion! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The biggest danger is that your bookmarks will carry identifying information between qubes, breaking the isolation model.

[qubes-users] Firefox Account SyncVM
Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a way to sync firefox bookmarks but I do not want to use firefox account. So my question to all of you is: Does anyone knows if there is a possible way to create local account that will be hosted on standalone VM so I could connect all Firefox Apps to connect to that source ans sync bookmarks, plugins, etc. The whole point here is to keep all bookmarks in safe place that same way some people keep their passwords keys etc. Maybe if there is no such a solution someone could start new project? I would do that myself, but currently do not have advanced coding skills :-( Thanks for all replays BR Raf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
