Mozilla Weave, the alternative to Google Browser Sync for firefox 3

June 18th, 2008 admin Posted in Internet, Software, Sync 1 Comment »

In my previous post, I’ve wrote that the Google Browser Sync for Firefox 3 has been discontinued. It is very powerful tool for syncing the browser settings across multiple computers.

The best alternative is Mozilla Weave ( from the makers of Firefox itself ), add-on  for Firefox 3 which can be signed up at services.mozilla.com and downloaded from latest-weave.xpi. This early prototype is accepting users now without any private invitation. Signup was closed for last few days because of the number of new users.

Unlike some extensions like Foxmarks which allow you to sync only your bookmarks across different computers easily; Weave can sync all of your bookmarks, history, cookies, saved form data, and now even passwords.

Google Browser Sync for Firefox 3 Discontinued

June 15th, 2008 admin Posted in Software, Sync No Comments »

Have you been waiting to install Firefox 3 after all your favorite extensions are available. Then its bad news for all users of Google Browser Sync.  Google has decided to phase out support for Browser Sync.

For those of you who want to continue to use Firefox 2, we’ll maintain support for old versions of Google Browser Sync through 2008. After that, we can recommend a few other products that scratch a similar itch. We hope that one of them works for you:

Mozilla Weave [labs.mozilla.com] from Mozilla Labs—Offers bookmark and history synchronization across computers.

Google Toolbar for Firefox [toolbar.google.com]—Store your bookmarks online and access them from any computer online.

Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer [addons.mozilla.org]—Synchronizes your bookmarks across all computers where it is installed.
