Access web favourites from any computer

Install the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer add-on for Firefox to synchronise favourites or access them online

Written by Scott Colvey

In issue 243 of Computeractive magazine we looked at switching to the Firefox web browser. In issue 244, explore one of the multitude of handy add-ons which can be used to extend the features of the program.

Many people now use more than one computer and will bookmark favourite websites on each. This can quickly lead to a situation where each computer includes some, but not all, of the bookmarks created. To get around this problem, Foxmarks Bookmark Synchonrizer makes it possible to store your list of bookmarks online and access them from your personalised online storage page.

In addition, the add-on can automatically synchronise bookmarks between copies of Firefox installed on different computers to ensure that the list is always kept up to date.

So, refer to issue 244 of Computeractive and then click to transfer to the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer home page.
