Bookmarks Synchronizer - Today's Browser Tip
by Jordan Running Oct 20th 2005 at 10:20PM
For today's browser tip, David Chartier over at TUAW points us to Bookmarks Synchronizer. Bookmarks Synchronizer is an extension for Firefox that, like similar functionality in Safari and .Mac, keeps your bookmarks in sync over many different machines. It does this by uploading your bookmarks via FTP/WebDAV. You can set it to sync when you start or quit Firefox, or only when you want to, and it's cross-platform so it's easy to keep your Windows machine and your Mac in sync.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This was an awesome extention when it worked. But, it's very old, so i am not sure why you are posting this.

This extension is a must-have for me, and it works fine for me using firefox 1.0.7. However, development seems to have been abandoned so there will not be a version to work with the upcoming firefox 1.5.

This extension was essential to me on 1.0.7.
However as mentioned, it doesn't work with 1.5, which is killing me.
The sync on start/close of browser doesn't work, either, and even if it did I really don't recommend using it should it ever begin to work. If you happen to open a browser on say your work machine while your browser at home is still running, whichever browser closes second wins - whichever closes first, all those new bookmarks are lost. Synch manually, and carefully.

Does it really not work with 1.5, or do you just have to hack the version number?
