Version: Google Browser Sync 1.2.2
"If you use more than one Firefox Browser you must have this!!!"
Pros: I am a super lover of Firefox. I have it installed on all my computers. It is my default browser. With all of the heavy usage on different PC's, I often run into the problem of having useful pages bookmarked on one computer, but not the other. When I recently purchased a new laptop computer, I was excited about finally being able to take my work with me from university. I was also very depressed about having to access my profile on my old compute to transfer the bookmarks to my new one.
Enter Google Browser Sync. I installed it on all of the computers that I use often. The setup was easy, and I just had to generate the pin to activate it. Now, whenever I connect to the internet on a browser sync enabled computer, all of my bookmarks are seamlessly synchronized. I now have the same bookmarks on all of my computers.
This tool also has the ability to restore the previous session and reopen tabs even if your browser did not crash. This tool is amazing. I can't live without it, and neither should you!
Cons: There is nothing not to love about it!

Version: Google Browser Sync 1.2.2
Pros: I use 4 copies of firefox (one on my windows partition, one on my linux partition, one on my other computer, and a portable version on my flash drive), and it keeps EVERYTHING--bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc.--the same across all 4 perfectly. It is also secure--it encrypts your personal data so that it cannot be intercepted by a 3rd party or read by an insider at google, and it prompts you to re-enter your password every couple weeks.
Cons: There has been a minor bug which may cause recent changes you have made to be lost when upgrading to a newer version of the extension. But that is the ONLY issue I have found with this, and there is an easy way around it. When the extension upgrades on one copy of ff, immediately go upgrade it on all of your other copies of ff before making any changes to the stuff it syncs.

"Great extension! A fantastic book marking solution!"
Pros: It works!
It syncs your bookmarks from computer to computer. You can also sync tabs which is a very useful feature.
Cons: Sometimes It deletes your bookmarks because of some errors. Also because it is not getting updated.

Version: Google Browser Sync 1.2.2
Pros: Installed this extension last night, linked with with my existing Google account, and it works great. I have it syncing my booksmarks and browser history between three computers, all running Firefox 1.5.0.6. It can also sync cookies and logins. Works great with my 30+ extensions already installed.

Pros: Before this I had trouble keeping my Bookmarks synched. It took time to keep taps on what I added on my laptop and desktop. It is a great program and works well
Cons: None.
