FEBE's only a partial solution to the problem... The best way is saving the data somewhere online, allowing you to access it anywhere. – alexb17, on August 20, 2008 09:22

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.

- 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...

1) History, passwords, open tabs and windows
2) cookies
3) Form data, extensions – v.ovcacik, on August 13, 2008 14:57

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.

@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)

Great, thanks for your input! If anyone else has an opinion on this, please chime in--we vastly prefer to hear people's preferences BEFORE we embark on adding in new features. :)

@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

We have several ideas regarding other browser items to synchronize, but we haven't settled on which to implement next. Of the following list, how would you prioritize the importance of being able to synchronize? Are any absolutely critical? Are any completely unnecessary?

Bookmarks
History
Cookies
Passwords
Form Data
Extensions
Open tabs
Open windows
Search History
