I love Delicious and have a thousand bookmarks saved on my main account, with subsidiary accounts for other purposes. I don't understand the purpose of the latest update/extension, to sync Delicious bookmarks with Firefox ones. One of the benefits of using Delicious, for me, is NOT to keep a record of all the sites I value on the various computers I use. Additionally, the only advantage I can see to this syncing is having access to the bookmarks when offline -- but what is the point of having a list of unobtainable websites? If my net connnection is down, the last thing I want is to be tantalised with what is unavailable.
I suspect I am missing the point here. Could anyone either give me a succinct explanation of how this feature is supposed to help my life, or, preferably, point me towards longer discussions (blog posts, articles) that explain this conundrum? And, secondly, as I have not yet OK'd the "Delicious Bookmark Add-on", how can I get it not to pop up everytime I start FF? Thanks.
The Delicious Bookmarks plug-in is amazing, but I'd like to see some way to sync bookmarks with Firefox Places. Ideally, this would happen automatically, but if server calls and load are a problem, it would be nice to schedule it once a day / week or just have an on-demand option.
