Google has stopped working on Browser Sync for Firefox. That means you can’t have Google Sync to work on the latest version of Firfox, i.e, Firefox 3. For those who don’t know about Google Sync, it syncs your browsing history, bookmarks…on different installations of Firefox! If you have Firefox on two or more computers, you can sync all your browsing data by installing Google Browser Sync addon for Firefox. But, now Google has discontinued development on Browser Sync for Firefox. I think this is one of the feature which browser should have inbuilt like in opera 9.5 (latest version) has it!
Foxmarks is a Firefox plugin, a good alternative for Google Browser Sync. Similar to Google Browser Sync, Foxmarks also saves all your browser changes in it’s server. You will have to install Foxmarks plugin for Firefox, which is also available for Firefox 3! If you are using this first time, you will be guided through a wizard to create a new account. Once done, it starts syncing bookmarks in the back end. Now install this addon in all other computers which you are running Firfox & want to sync bookmarks, give your login & password which was created first time. Now changes in bookmarks you make on any computer gets reflected everywhere! Install Foxmarks from www.foxmarks.com

Hi Prashanth,
Thanks for recommending Foxmarks. I wanted to add that unlike Google Browser Sync, we also have an online website where you can view your bookmarks if you’re away from your computer. Simply visit foxmarks.com and click on “My Foxmarks” to get started.
Cheers,
Gaurav
