Firefox Sync Add-on

[Bob Jonkman]

Xmarks (formerly FoxMarks) will synchronize bookmarks and passwords 
between Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari.  Opera to come 
soon, they say.

There is also Weave for Firefox (and I thought SeaMonkey too, but that's 
not in the docs).  It will synchronize bookmarks, browsing history, 
saved passwords and tabs.  I don't think it synchronizes everything, eg. 
toolbar layout, plug-in settings, font size & colour &c.

I use Xmarks, but only for bookmarks, not passwords.  I had Weave 
installed a while ago, but it doesn't synchronize to FF3.0 so it wasn't 
that useful to me then.

At some point I want to use the Xmarks "Bring Your Own Server" to store 
bookmarks and passwords on my own server. http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1035 
Weave is supposed to be able to do that too, but I didn't use it long 
enough to find out.
