How to use it? You need to do a daemon-reload and enable/start the systemd service user unit:

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable firefox-sync
systemctl --user start firefox-sync

Also, you can enable the timer to sync every hour (in case you're using a laptop and experience unexpected shutdowns):

systemctl --user enable firefox-sync-cron --now

For more information, see wiki.

How do I use this btw? Both firefox-sync and syncfox give the same message; ~/.mozilla/firefox/9zupv2ht.default does not exist

@FadeMind: I would be happy to receive a patch (or new PKGBUILD).

Please using package() function instead of build() function for proper packaging.

updated again - moved test for whether LINK exists later, because want to allow that the link points to the correct but non-existent (e.g. due to restart) volatile location.

looks good. updated. the PKGBUILD still inserts a default LINK, but your -p option allows it to be modified per run.

Wrote a patch. Please review it. https://gist.github.com/2951528 or git://gist.github.com/2951528.git You can modify the syncfox script how you like it...

Those are good ideas; I look forward to a patch. It would perhaps be good some day to generalise this functionality beyond firefox. E.g. I currently use a customised version for iceweasel.

It would be nice to set the profile name ($LINK) with an argument for firefox-sync, b.c. hardcoding the profile name for a multiuser system is not practical. And a -h swich for a short help message would be nice, too (e.g. read the sript)
