    Thank you. This appears to only do bookmarks.

    There's this one, although it apparently requires a Google account:

    No chance of that. Gives me some keywords to search for, though.

    Yes, but it requires you to run a Mozilla Sync Server and a
    Mozilla Accounts Server.

    You can right-click on a tab and select bookmark all tabs, which can
    later be accessed and opened from the bookmarks menu or the library button.

    It's not 'sync' but I use the Add-On called 'Export Tabs URLs'. I like
    its ability to customize the link export format, in my case to Orgmode
    style.

    There are a number of 'tab export' Add-Ons doing variations on the same
    theme.

    I save them to a file in a directory which is synced across devices
    using Syncthing. It's a bit of a manual process, but I don't do it
    often enough that it bothers me.

    For true 'sync' you may need to run some sort of standalone
    (self-hosted) Firefox sync server. I seem to recall reading about such
    things, but never investigated further as that was not a need I had.
