SyncPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to synchronise your bookmarks and passwords… Created by Andy Halford SyncPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to synchronise your bookmarks and passwords between different installations of Firefox (e.g. a browser at Home and another at Work). It only works with Firefox v3 and above (but is compatible with older bookmark extensions). The synchronize feature requires your own Web or FTP server, which is used to store the bookmarks centrally, but there are a number of free servers you can safely use (see the Support section for details of at least one of these)…. More Info »Using your own server means you get to keep you bookmarks private rather than storing them on a third party server who may analyse, probe and profile you, sell that data to others, or use it for their own nefarious purposes ;)If you wish to sort your bookmarks before synchronising then you need to install the SortPlaces extension as well. This is one of a number of extensions I’ve written that you may find useful. SyncPlaces also takes a backup of your current bookmarks and passwords before overwriting them with what is on the shared server. So you can restore this backup if it all goes wrong. You can also manually take your own backup at any time.Bookmarks are typically stored in JSON format as this is ideal for the storage of all the bookmark information from the new Firefox Places system (e.g. tags, queries, and annotations). You can also export/import or send/receive your bookmarks in XBEL format. XBEL is great for sharing bookmarks with other browsers or older versions of Firefox, or transforming with XSL to style your bookmarks so you can access them from any browser without installing the SyncPlaces extension.
