it is possible to share firefox addon data between computers , firefox sync doesn't sync these, and when I copy folder with IDB to dropbox, it doesn't work. I don't want to have a whole profile on dropbox, because, there is some úproblem with syncing some locked files. I give you an example what i need, I am using Tab Session Manager for loading and backuping sessions, I am using session at home and at work too, but I don't see sessions saved at work home and opposite, ff sync just don't sync data of this addon. I have only one option, to save actual sessions before turning off firefox and export them to json, and then after starting second computer, import sessions and load them...

And same problem I have with Thunderbird built-in calendar, at home I am using pop3 but at work imap, so I need to synchronize only calendar data, so here is sharing whole profile to dropbox is out of question. THX

You aren't able to sync addons between Firefox and Thunderbird because those are entirely different programs.

However, Firefox sync will sync addon data between browsers, if the developer of the addon has allowed the addon to do so. This requires the developer to use the sync storage location instead of the local storage location for addon data.

No, I don't want to sync between firefox and thunderbird :). Ok, for Session Manager in firefox I will write to author, if he can implement it that way, but TB calendar is fully implemented in TB client, so it is little difficult there. I don't see in TB posibilty to use Mozilla sync for it, so it seems there is no standard way to share calendar data of TB between more devices. And that is why I am looking for not standard way. Share whole profile is not a way for me on TB because one device use IMAP, other use POP (if I used imap everywhere, it could be a solution).
