Firefox Tip – Google Browser Sync

Google Labs Logo

If you have a Google account (… and who doesn’t?) and you’re not using Google’s Browser Sync extension for Firefox, then you’re missing out on a whole world of easy-ness.

From Google:
Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

With the Browser Sync extension installed and logged in on both work and home computers, you can close Firefox at work, go home and continue browsing right where you left off. The extension even allows you to resume browser sessions by storing encrypted copies of site-specific cookies. So if you’re logged in to a site at one location, you’re logged in at all locations. The Browser Sync extension also saves your bookmarks, though I recommend web-based services for that.
