How many of you have copied bookmarks.html onto thumbdrives to carry your bookmarks all over with you to the office, to home etc? Well, FoxMarks makes it simple. In pilot-speak, FoxMarks is a "fire and forget" add-on. You configure it once (albiet on every PC you want to have the bookmarks on Firefox synced) and then you will even forget it exists.
FoxMarks will compare bookmarks between your currently active Firefox, eg the one in the office, to the copy of bookmarks it has on the FoxMarks server. If it finds that you have added new bookmarks, it will automatically update the copy in the server.
When you get home and run FireFox again, FoxMarks does the same comparison, and if it finds that the bookmarks on its server is "newer" than your bookmarks, it'll sync them. So, you will only ever need to add a bookmark ONCE and FoxMarks will handle all the multiple copies of FireFox you have.
Great add-on, and FireFox should have made this feature built-in!
