“Google Browser Sync is no longer
available for download.”

WTF! Now that Google has their Chrome browser they stop developing this extension for FF. How disappointing.

I’ve been messing with Xmarks but it only syncs your bookmarks so it’s use is of a limited scope. Then I tried using Dropbox but there are too many large files in the FF profile folder that are a waste of time to sync. For example there’s a file called urlclassifier3.sqlite that is about 28MB! Plus I think the bookmarks I added yesterday got lost in the abyss. I love Dropbox, but it just wasn’t intended for this.

Somebody step up to the plate and make an efficient profile sync extension for Firefox!
Mozilla? Xmarks? Anyone?

Check out my application that can help you compress an entire firefox profile into a single file and then import it as a new default profile on an other machine.

Its a nice firefox extension if you rely on only one user profile. I like to switch to a different profile. For example Personal Profiles (Shopping Profile, Finances Profile, Education Profile) , or Work Profiles (Parts Profile, Computers Profile, Other Profile). I do not see any way to configure it that with one google account. I would need to create 5 to 10 diffrent gmail accounts to save every profiles unique diffrences.

This would be a pain !

I’ve loved google’s browser sync since it came out :D
The only problem is it isn’t working with the Firefox 3.0 beta yet.. But other than that, it’s great.

Cool find Martin. I too use a Toshiba notebook along with my main desktop computer and this will really help me out. As a web developer I have 4 browsers running on both and it is a pain keeping them all updated so this will go some way to alleviating that.
