Firefox Bookmark Sharing Revisited

With the headache of different bookmarks across several computers, I've looked again today for solutions - local ones that is, as I have no interest in shooting my bookmarks across the internet to someone else's server.

At this point Foxmarks is looking good. With some testing it seems to work okay, and doesn't screw up bookmarked feeds (turning them into bookmarks rather than Live Feeds) which is a problem I had with the last Firefox extension I tried years ago.

I ran into a small problem initially with FTP connections going through Squid, which confused Foxmarks, but with the help of tcpflow to work out why all ways good.

It does mean I've had to update Firefox on my main desktop (from 1.0.7, which I guess I've had installed since Oct 29 2005 without any updates!) Hopefully no extensions that I really wanted (hence never updating on my desktop) are no longer compatible.

In anycase, Foxmarks looks really good from the outset.
