[Clippings] Linking Clippings

[Alex Eng]

Clippings doesn't have a means to "link" its data to a single data
file similar to the way other extensions like Stylish does it.  You
can use the import/export feature in Clippings Manager to export the
Clippings data, then start Firefox under the desired user profile,
open Clippings Manager again and then import the data from the other
Firefox profile.

Granted, this is a rather cumbersome way to keep your Clippings data
in sync between multiple Firefox user profiles, or even between
Firefox and Thunderbird.  There are plans to have Clippings redesigned
in a future release to make this easier.
