A comment on Switching to DuckDuckGo and Firefox. Parent comment

Argh, you replied just when I had deleted. Sorry. To anyone wondering my comment was saying that I couldn't find any service comparable to Google's sync last time I tried Firefox. Google's sync effortlessly syncs all machines tied to an account including bookmarks, extensions, and themes.

I figured I'd try out the latest Firefox and see if I can get it working before I definitively make the comment.

Thanks for the tip though. The machines I want to sync between are Windows 7 and Linux though, so no can do.

Firefox sync doesn't do the trick?

It does in theory, but there have been some service problems of late (for a few weeks). I turned it off after growing tired of the error messages.

When I needed/wanted this feature, I found that Delicious (and their plug-in) was the best fit for me.
