How about syncing extensions ?

@Eric, for me there are 3 essential productivity features:
0.Bookmarks+icons <-- (well done foxmarks!)
1.Cookies/passwords
2.Extensions (a big one but would be soo cool! maybe a viable alternative would be a simple database capable of installaling/desinstalling extension)

the others are just somefancy sync features but some are important too:
3.homepage(s)
4.history

the unnecessary:
form data
open tabs
open windows
search history

@Eric, I think all your ideas are good.
Search history and form data are probably lower priority, but could be good as options.
I think sync'ing open tabs and windows is a must. After I shut down my work laptop, I like to go back to where I was when I get home. I used Google browser sync for a while, but it was a bit buggy - Foxmarks is better for bookmarks, GBS saved sessions and windows... (Looks like the source code is available too)

I think that the most important thing to sync now with Fx 3's awesomebar is history, when that's working I think that cookies and passwords would be great.

After that things like tabs and open windows, form data and extensions are just bonuses for me.

- Obviously bookmarks, passwords would help, but I use another FF extension for that so I'm not sure if that would be helpful or not...
- Extensions would be handy! (How frustrating is it to be used to an extension on one computer, only to forget what it's called every time you're in front of your other computer!)
- I'd definitely use open tabs/history a lot but this probably isn't priority since in FF you can "Save all open to folder" and "sync" open tabs/history that way...

Mandatory for me from most important to less important:
Bookmarks
Open tabs
Cookies
Passwords
Form Data

Thanks

1. bookmarks
2. passwords
3. extensions
4. custom configurations

at the moment only FEBE fills the gap but i have to carry the backup in my usb key. not very convenient.

I added this idea myself and then someone told me it was already added :) - so... it's a GREAT idea. Personally, it's the extensions I now want, although there is such an easy way to copy these as a one-off (just copy the files from the Firefox profile to the new computer) that I guess by the time you code it, it won't be SO necessary as right now.

But being able to sync new add-ins invisibly would be very cool indeed. I guess this couldn't be done quite as invisibly as with the bookmarks as adding new extensions requires a restart of the browser...

Extension sync would be awesome! Of course, that would require config sync as well. Passwords and cookies sync would be great too. So, personally I'd love to see:

1) Extensions
2) Config
3) Passwords
4) Cookies
5) Form data

I heard there's an extension that does synchronise addons, but only between machines, it doesn't store it online for user to get (or does it?).

1) Extensions
2) Config
3) Cookies

That would be absolutely perfect (for me at least)!

In this order of relevance to me:

1) Bookmarks - done.
2) Passwords - done.
3) Cookies
4) FF Extensions w/ settings and *especially* profiles for extensions
5) FF Search Engines
6) FF Configurations
...
97) Form data (don't use)
98) History (don't use)
99) Search history (I only search things once...)
100) Open Tabs (Think that's too much synchronization to me...)

I'm surprised of the amount of people that doesn't see the utility of historysync now that we have the awesomebar. I would easily put that in front of extensions (which I would think is much more complex than history). Cookies and configurations is also on my list of things I would like, the rest is just bonuses with no real use to me.

Some discussion on this subject was put forth at http://getsatisfaction.com/foxmarks/t.... It was suggested that we move it over here. Anyone have any thoughts as to what was suggested in that thread?

Yes, Eric, I understood that. I guess I should have been more specific on the topic I was referring to.

I use 6 computers on a regular basis. Being able to keep my extension list in sync would be HUGE!

1. History
2. History
3. History
4. History
5. Extensions
