how do i install on my desktop the exact firefox profile as on my laptop?
I would like to have the exact layout on my desktop of firefox, as i have on my laptop. Ive tried to sync them together before but ended up w/ bookmarks missing or doubled, themes messed up, etc.... so i would like to start fresh on my desktop as if I didn't have firefox installed...(backuped desktop bookmarks to html file) ....can I "migrate" my laptop to desktop as if I were setting up a new PC? and then keep both ..1 on laptop n 1 on desktop....and then sync future changes to either so that they are both always the same? laptop is windows 7 and desktop is windows 8.1

You can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
Note that Firefox uses two locations for the Firefox profile folder.
Location used for the main profile in "AppData\Roaming".
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Location used for the disk cache and other temporary files in "AppData\Local".
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
