"Google Browser Sync" for Firefox

For my support work, I use several machines with different operating systems:
a desktop with Windows 2000 and a laptop with Windows XP and Red Hat Linux (dual boot).

I use a very useful extension - "Google Browser Sync" - to synchronize my different browser settings.
This extensions synchronizes:

  • the bookmarks
  • the history
  • the persistent cookies
  • the saved passwords
  • the tabs and windows
The extension requires a Google Account, and you have to provide a PIN to protect your information.
You can encrypt the information (cookies and passwords are encrypted by default).
The extension increases the start-up time of Firefox, but it's minor compared to the benefit of using it.
