| Firefox Add-On: Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer |

Like many of you out there, I have two machines I work on all the time: a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is my primary machine, while the laptop is relegated to travel and couch duty (I develop on the laptop from time-to-time, but not as much as I used to). One of the problems when splitting time between more than one machine is keeping things in sync across all of them, with one of those things being Firefox bookmarks. Fortunately the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer add-on takes care of that problem.
And to be clear, there are two components to Foxmarks: the add-on and the web site. To use Foxmarks you first need to create an account on the web site, and then you can start synchronizing your bookmarks (or you can create your account during the setup wizard after you install the add-on). It’s a similar model to Windows Live Sync, if you’re familiar with that.
Once the add-on is installed, you get the Foxmarks icon in the bottom-right corner of Firefox, which you can click to get access to the settings:

The best thing I can say about Foxmarks is that it stays out of your way and does its job. I never have to think about Foxmarks, and that’s as good an endorsement as I can give. The Foxmarks add-on is currently at version 2.7.2 and can be downloaded here.
