Foxmarks keeps Firefox bookmarks synched

Do you have multiple systems running Firefox? Want an easy way to keep your bookmarks synchronized? The best way I’ve found to do it is by using Foxmarks. I’ve been using it for over a month now and it works great.

Foxmarks synchronizes with the Foxmarks server in three ways:

  1. Automatically while using Firefox
    • Every minute if changes are detected
    • Every hour regardless of changes in order to synch changes from other machines
  2. When Firefox is opened or closed
  3. Manually by clicking Synchronize Now in the Foxmarks options (Bookmarks -> Foxmarks)

If you are concerned about sending your bookmarks via plain text over the Internet, you can set Foxmarks to use HTTPS.

  1. Open the Foxmarks options
  2. Click the Other tab
  3. Select the radio button for HTTPS under Advanced Server Settings

The current release of Foxmarks on the Firefox Add-ons page is 0.89. It is compatible with Firefox 1.5 and 2.0. Their privacy policy can be found here. The full FAQ can be found here.
