Google has just released the Google Browser Sync extension for Firefox. Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.
This extension allows you to save your bookmarks, history and passwords on Google servers, effectively giving you a 'roaming profile,' which you can sync on any computer running Firefox (and the extension, of course)."I think this could be a very useful idea as, I flip between a dual booted Windows/Ubuntu desktop, the same for a laptop and in the wet-lab an E-Mac, and it would save me having to keep my bookmarks on a USB flash drive, although I am not sure about the bit on saving passwords. I will give it a go, let me know if you find it useful too.
