Foxmarks: A Google Browser Sync Alternative for Firefox 3
arthurfreydin on June 18th, 2008
One add-in that no longer functions in Firefox 3 is Google Browser Sync. The add-in syncs bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history across all PCs and Macs that have Firefox installed. Unfortunately, Google has decided to completely terminate the add-in for any future versions of Firefox which saddens me quite a bit; it has been an indespensable tool for me.
Fortunately, I have already found an alternative: Foxmarks. It only syncs bookmarks and leaves out all the additional functionality that Google Broswer Sync has supported but it’s one step closer to solving the issue. Foxmarks also allows you to access all your synced bookmarks from a web portal that it creates for you for free.

GBS doesn’t sync bookmarks ONLY. Stored passwords and other stuffs. Foxmarks is *not* a full alternative.

michauko,
Re-read that post and you’ll see this line:

Thanks for the comment though
