If you have got multiple Firefox installations across different computers then these 2 add-ons are a must.
This Add-on from Mozilla Labs lets you stay in sync with your Firefox across different computers. You can access your bookmarks, history, passwords and even open tabs across all your devices using this Add-on.
This extension syncs a list of Add-ons between browsers, with easy installation and deletion buttons. It also saves your Add-on list if you ever need to reinstall Firefox. Once you have created an account and logged in, Siphon keeps track of what you have installed, and also what you remove or add later on. You can choose whether to sync the changes, or keep them on the local Firefox installation only.
I was using Xmarks for a long time to sync my bookmarks and passwords. But recently they announced that they are shutting down and I decided to switch to Firefox Sync. But it looks like they are trying to come back from near death by evolving to have both a free component and a premium component. Lets hope they survive the tough times and emerge profitable.
Also for those who need a cross browser password syncing, I recommend LastPass. LastPass is a secure password manager for all your web passwords. Like other web-focused password managers, LastPass puts all of your individual passwords behind one master password.
