The bookmarks and history or other data can share correctly,just
extesions!Some extensions can setup into the firefox program dir in
windows(can in freebsd?),but most just setup into the profile extesions
dir.If all the extension can select setup dir at setup time,perhaps this
problem can be resolved.
