Yeah, Firefox sync would indeed be your best bet here as was already mentioned. However, and this is just for me and my very paranoid attitude about things. I don't trust anyone else's cloud storage unless I myself encrypt the data and I myself hold the keys. So in that respect, yes, I do use the cloud, but only for certain things that are meant to be public viewable and for things I encrypt myself on my own malware free, tight ship computer. And the passwords for this encrypted data are well above 25 characters. Unless there's some published flaw or backdoor in a cascade of ciphers comprising of AES 256, Twofish and Blowfish, my stuff could potentially only get brute forced in by the cluster of super computers underground at Fort Mead, Maryland, also known as the NSA. LOL!
At any rate, I could see about making a batch file that will sync the Thunderbird and Firefox profiles or create a Freefilesync backup file for use with Freefilesync. Or you could just go the easy route and use Firefox's sync servive. Not too sure if Thunderbird offers that or not, they may since it's a Mozilla product. Heck of it is, I use Thunderbird so should know this, but like I mentioned, I don't use Mozilla's cloud. Not even for bookmarks. I backup those independently, encrypt the JSON file and store that file all over the place. I also do the same thing to my Keepass password vault's database every time I add a new entry. That database is stored on two sources of optical media, multiple computers, a thumb drive and in the cloud. And since I know how to crack a Keepass database file, I know how to protect it. This is just one reason why it's good to learn how hackers do things so that you can stay one step ahead of being owned and tea bagged.
Pertinent information that may be useful. Doing a search, it appears Thunderbird does not have the same ability.
