Well Fireworks is discontinued since 2012. AFAIK, it never had capability to sync settings to the cloud and of course, never will.

Dreamweaver CC stores Settings on the cloud. Go to Preferences panel > Sync Settings. See screenshot.

Check box to IMPORT SYNC SETTINGS.

Click on Apply Updates button.

Restart Dreamweaver and wait for syncing to commence.

Often times you can migrate saved preferences & workspaces by copying them from your previous version's folder to the new version's folder with your operating system's file manager (Mac Finder or Win File Explorer).

For better answers, we need to know which OS and apps you're working with.

Widows 10pro,...... new one will be Windows 11

Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, latest version,...

I thought , It not matter what OS I running, somehow, I figure, Adobe Cloud, has some place for backup of preferences,...if they don't, I will suggest to make it,

I know, I can copy and past all preferences from Roaming folder, but sometimes you copy garbage too,.....
Should be more simple as that, for such a "professional" program
