You can achieve this if you both use your own Firefox profile.

I saw this but couldn't find how to conveniently switch between profiles. Is it a possibility?

You can both create a shortcut or bash script that starts Firefox with a specific profile (-P profile).

If you use the same profile and connect to either account then both accounts will get the same data from both of you (connecting a profile to a specific account will upload that profile data to that account).

How are you currently handle the two accounts ?

If you use the same profile and disconnect one account and then connect the other account then you have already merged both your data (i.e. both accounts will have the same data).

At the moment I use Firefox and she uses Chrome but I finally convinced her to move to Firefox but she is used to switching to her own profile in Chrome and seeing all her bookmarks. I will create the shortcuts but I'm afraid she is probably going back to Chrome since it is not as convenient.

I appreciate your help.
