I have at least two computers I use on a daily basis, one at work and one at home. I use Firefox on both computers. I have always used the Firefox extension Bookmarks Synchronizer to synchronize my bookmarks to my personal FTP server, so that I can access them from work and home. When I upgraded to Firefox 1.5, the extension stopped working. I have been searching for an alternative ever since.
Recently, I found an extension called Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer. Basically, it performs the same functions as the older Bookmarks Synchronizer but it is much better because:
- It works in Firefox 1.5.
- You do not need to have your own FTP server to store your bookmarks. A server is provided for you with the option of using your own.
- It actually synchronizes your bookmarks instead of uploading/downloading from the server.
- It works in the background and automatically synchronizes whenever you add/delete/change your bookmarks in your browser.
- You can access your bookmarks online at my.foxcloud.com
For all the above reason, I highly recommend this extension. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and, so far, it works as advertised (even though it is still in beta).

Hope everything is working out...
Seems nice. I will give it a try.

Best regards

There’s a nice and free service called 2Go SyncIT which is based on the old SyncIt.com technology and does the samething (and more) and works with any version of Firefox but also with IE, Opera, Mozilla and NS. Great stuff!!!

The Metalink Firefox search plugin should work not only with the new Firefox 1.5, but also with the new version of Metalink.
