Does Firefox Sync also sync cookies?
Which one of the many options activates this: Open Tabs, Bookmarks, Logins, History, Add-ons, or Preferences?

None, of those options, would sync cookies.– RamhoundJan 29, 2018 at 16:38

@Ramhound "None, of those options, would sync cookies." --- So sync does not sync cookies? (This is what I want to know.)– DanielJan 29, 2018 at 16:47

It looks like the official answer is "no."
There is a long-standing Bugzilla report asking them to enable this capability. Based upon the subsequent discussions within that page, trying to sync cookies would be problematic:

It could be done, but I doubt we'd want to support it.

why not? would be useful for many people. when its a problem with storage space on mozilla servers ... it would okay when its only supported on own sync-servers.

Nothing to do with space, and everything to do with potentially destroying your browsing experience. I have little confidence in being able to reconcile simultaneous changes to your Facebook session cookie, for example. That means data loss.

Cookie sync is not currently on the roadmap.
Chrome has a great plugin for this, SyncMyCookie, maybe work with Chrome Store Foxified.
UPDATE: Seems worked fine to me, but I had to follow the plugin instructions to install unsigned extensions.
