Google Browser Sync. is no longer being developed by Google, they feel it's not worth it and have also said sorry, were not doing FF3 support.

Oh dammit! That was a great feature for me because I like having the same bookmarks on two comps!

Do you know any alternatives?

I use Google Toolbar for that feature and that feature only.

Does it work like browser sync or do you have to use "special" bookmarks?

It integrates with Google's own bookmarks service which you can also use without the plugin, but need will need to browse to the site to access bookmarks.

http://www.google.com/bookmarks/
http://toolbar.google.com/

But does it automatically update existing bookmarks to it?

Existing bookmarks from the current browser? I don't think so.

Damn, that's no good then.

Looks like Mozilla are doing something called Weave, but they have limited registrations.

Skillers, could this do as an alternative to Google Browser Sync?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410

I used that for a while, then started using Weave (it became available). Weave seems to be a bit broken, might go back to Foxmarks.

This is relevant to your interests...

Oooh, Awesome!

Skillers, what version of weave are you running, as the update from 0.2 to 0.22 seems to have fixed alot of issues for me.

I changed back to FoxyMarks just before the update. I may try Weave again soon.

0.2.3 update of Weave... fixes a few problems, such as not waiting a century on a forced restart (such as update for addons) as well as actually telling you what bit it is doing in the sync window. Oh, and it fails even less!

Firefox 3.0.1 was released a few days ago and should auto-update...

Though looking at metadata seems its not...

I haven't received any updates.

Still must go back to Weave, lol.

I have an interesting problem here... one of my computers swears blind that my passphrase is wrong... but I know it's right, and the other comps use it ok...

Weaves eaten Firefox! Naa it just keeps throwing JS errors whenever a window opens, so I've had to disable it on one computer until the time comes when I can update it.

fire fox is awesome

Skillers, what would you say to when we get the new webserver, setting up Weave to point there?

Would that work?

Yes, you just change the WebDAV server that it uses... alot of people have done that due to the poor speed of services.mozilla.com

Heh, fair enough, that would be fairly cool.

ya lost me on the last page
