Need help in syncing 2 firefox profiles leaving localstore.rdf

Need help in syncing 2 firefox profiles leaving localstore.rdf I want to syncing 2 Firefox profiles leaving localstore.rdf and the reason behind creating a 2nd profile is for having two "saved window locations" as for the multi-monitor purposes I want them to be the same just leaving the localstore.rdf which is the location where they are opened, I have somehow managed to link the caches in the current setup that I am but then the problem is that I have to change bookmarks twice and I need to have two different histories as well as the saved passwords, I just want to avoid this minor inconveniences by making the profile same leaving the localstore.rdf as it is, I have checked about the same and have found that there are extensions for syncing profiles but then they seems to be quite messy and I don’t want to try out the same and I am willing to try doing it manually, so is there anyone who has a good knowledge about the same and can help me out here??
