Synchronise your Firefox bookmarks using Mozilla Weave or Foxmarks

January 15, 2009 in Browsers | Permalink

We surf the Internet from home, our laptop or at work. Either way, we'll stumble across a website that we find interesting and want to include within our bookmarks. However, we'll want the same bookmarks across every machine, whether at home or work. Snag is, that there's no easy way of sharing your bookmarks unless you copy and paste them manually or via email.

Mozilla Weave 0.2.98 is an official add-on for Firefox that enables you to open an account and synchronise your bookmarks from your computer to your online account. If you then install Firefox on another computer, whether this is a PC or Mac, you can then install Weave, login to your account, then synchronise your bookmarks back to this computer. Add a new bookmark and this is sychronised back to your online account.

Problem is that Foxmarks 2.6.2 is a far better and more polished add-on for synchronising your bookmarks. It also enables you to login to your online account and access your bookmarks from a temporary browser, if you don't want to synchronise your bookmarks to a temporary PC. Foxmarks also supports the forthcoming Firefox 3.1
