Importing setting should be more intuitive

[csswright]

Currently, importing settings merges the settings and most likely introduce duplicates that you then would want to delete. Importing should remove duplicates automatically and for conflicts prompt user which bangs have conflicting definitions with the option to overwrite from imported settings or keep existing settings (preferably for each); or simply overwrite all of existing settings with imported ones (IMO simplest and most intuitive approach and the behavior that matches the importing setting functionality in many apps and services).

I use Firefox on multiple devices and quite often have to update setting in some apps on one device then want to "sync" them in the rest of the devices. Typically, I just export the settings and import them (most apps just import all of them and overwrite existing settings which is fine)--with CustomBangSearch duplicates need to be taken care of.

I think it would be good to have both overwrite and merge as options, maybe a selection when you go through the import dialogue 👍

Why do you need to manually sync? Does the sync storage option not take care of this for you

I don't use Mozilla account. I would if there's a straightforward way to host both the Account and Sync server so I'm not dependent on data that goes to Mozilla servers (I self host everything as much as possible). Last I checked there isn't.
