[Windows SIG] [Internet SIG] Firefox 3 and Extensions

Lita Letourneau: 

It's really cool to hit "sync" and all the bookmarks are just
"fixed". 

Yes, the ONLY thing I don't like about Foxmarks is that they get
to see my bookmarks in the process. Otherwise, it's a fantastic
service.

Hi Mike:

I have upgraded ALL my computers to FFox 3.0....I love it even
though some of my favorite extensions and themes are not yet
ported over...they are making it slowly...DJ, I know you and Lloyd
don't like Foxmarks, but I happen to love it because my systems
are all dual boot and I can mark my bookmarks and simply sync to
any computer I want to...yes, I know they use my stuff for
marketing, but then again, so does the mighty Microsoft that you
guys all use...you think XP and Vista doesn't phone home...anyway,
it really is the users preference of choice.  Recently, my son's
h/d had to be reformatted and having his Foxmarks account was
fabulous in getting all his bookmarks...it's just what I use.
