Title: Firefox bookmark synchronisation
Post by: Rik on Feb 06, 2007, 17:43:35
Has anyone come across a utility that will synchronise bookmarks between different machines. I know I can export and import, but Sue tends to add bookmarks on one machine while I add different ones on another, it would be nice if I could find a way to simplify keeping the machines in step.

TIA

I have just copied the bookmarks file across the network, when I remember!

Thanks, Steve, I'll give that a whirl. The expression 'under my nose' comes to mind - just couldn't see it. :(

I could do that, Jupiter, if Sue and I didn't tend to create different bookmarks. The machines start the same, but after a few weeks... Of course, if I did do a straight copy, guess which one would get over-written. ;)

Quite right and proper and all is well with the world then.

I never argue with what she cooks, she never argues with what I do to the computers - unless I throw one out the window and have to buy a replacement! ;)

Never try that with one of the meals.  Fun for the neighbours but not for you!

Let me explain something - slowly.

I can't actually see you, so I don't know what shape you are. 

But by the sound of it, if you did have a webcam I'd only be able to see part of you.

At least we know you can still get close enough to the keyboard - or do you have nail extensions?

Nothing so flash, a wireless keyboard which I rest on my 'shelf'.  :laugh:
