Foxmarks, A Super Easy Way To Sync Firefox Bookmarks
I just started using Foxmarks, a Firefox extension that makes it super easy to synchronize bookmarks between multiple computers. I was able to set it up in a few minutes, syncing my bookmarks with all of my computers, both Mac and Windows.
They recently introduced sync profiles, allowing you to separate your home and work bookmarks. You can also access you bookmarks online at my.foxmarks.com.
Previously I was using Google Browser Sync, but Google recently announced that they will be discontinuing the service, so it was time to look for another option.
Another bookmark syncing service I’ve been exploring is Weave from Mozilla Labs. They recently released prototype version 0.2, but it is really slow and according to their website they are maxed out and no longer taking registrations. I’m going to keep my eye on Weave since it has potential, but for now Foxmarks does the trick.

have been thinking of trying this out, but the only in-browser bookmarks i use are twitter-related, dev-related, or bookmarklets. everything else is at ma.gnolia.

I moved from del.icio.us and the FF plugin to Foxmarks a few weeks ago and haven't missed it. I've never taken advantage of the social features of delicious, and Foxmark makes it easier to use bookmarklets than the delicious plugin did.

I'm a long time Foxmarks fan. So much of my productivity is in my browser, and having a synced set of bookmarks, no matter what machine I'm on, makes it that much easier to get up and running with the tools I need and am familiar with.

I may need to try this while Weave from Mozilla is still a prototype.

Foxmarks is really awesome. Especially for the toolbar shortcuts: http://www.sheysmith.com/2008/05/06/how-i-fit-54-shortcuts-in-my-firefox-toolbar/

Del.icio.us and Foxmarks are both handy since you can access your bookmarks from a machine that's not yours. Will Weave allow that?

have been using the GMarks plugin to sync multiple Firefox machines with my Google Bookmarks, but the updated FoxMarks does look pretty cool... i need to investigate the major differences...

Not sure when they plan on updating it, but I definitely recommend checking it out once you get another chance.
