Firefox Bookmark Sync

Since signing up for .Mac, I've been hooked on Safari's bookmark syncing. The process is invisible, painless, and makes a huge contribution to my daily sanity and productivity. And for the immediate future, I assumed it would be the only browser to provide such a feature. Well, leave it to the open source community to come up with the new Bookmarks Synchronizer for Firefox.

Using your own FTP server, the free extension writes an XML file to your directory, which can then be retrieved and parsed by any build of Firefox. Which means...you guessed it -- cross-platform capability. Unlike .Mac and Safari, if you work on multiple machines (or just one Mac and one PC) you can now easily share, sync, and update all your bookmarks between browsers with ease.
