Hello, I use Firefox on two desktop computers and one mobile device. Firefox is being slow on one desktop, so I want to "refresh" it. The [page] says that extensions and search engines will be removed... but will they be restored by Firefox Sync from the other desktop computer? Or will sync also remove extensions on the other computer? Thanks

I have been using Google Chrome for years having set it up to open the same 8 Tabs and several bookmarks. What I liked about it was that no matter what PC I went to once I logged into Chrome I was given the same confiuration across several PCs including Linux which I am gradually moving to. However to date I just cannot get my other PC's whether Linux or Windows to do the same. What I want to know is that can I open Firefox on any other PC, login and and get the same configurantion automatically? .
