Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that allows you to synchronize your saved passwords, cookies, bookmarks and other settings between various computers, all running Firefox with the Browser Sync extension installed. You can even synchronize the opened tabs and windows from one session to another, and from one computer to another.
I admit to being a little skeptical at first, thinking that this might be too much information to hand over to Google. I still wonder just how much of my information should be going to Google, but that is an issue I will have to deal with as problems arise. The extension works rather well, although I have noticed that I am sometimes missing bookmarks when synchronizing between browsers. The phantom bookmarks do not appear on one computer, while they do on another. It’s bizarre.
So, if you’re like me and you jump between several different computers, and perhaps also like me you use several different operating systems, Browser Sync may be your answer to managing all of your Firefox information.
I’m running Google Sync on two computers. For some reason, they aren’t sync-ing. I think the first computer I installed it on did take the generic Toolbar Bookmark from the second computer, but the second hasn’t changed at all.
