Sync Firefox Across Different Computers With Mozilla Weave

Firefox 29 May 2008 | View Comments

Sometime back, I wrote a post on 3 useful methods to backup your Firefox preferences. However, if you use Firefox on different computers, like your home and office computers, then keeping all the data in sync which includes cookies, history, bookmarks, passwords etc could be a daunting task.

There are some extensions available like the Foxmarks add on which allows you to sync your bookmarks across different computers easily. But there is another such browser plugin by Mozilla ( the makers of Firefox ) themselves through which you can sync all of your bookmarks, history, cookies, saved form data, and now even passwords.

mozilla-weave-sync

Known as Mozilla Weave Sync, its an experimental product from Mozilla Labs. You would first need to register for a weave account at https://services.mozilla.com/ and then you can install the add on. If you use Firefox on different computers then do give it a try.

    I usually use FEBE for backups, but the only problem is that it cannot be used to sync across multiple computers. Not really necessary for me because I use only one computer, but Weave should come in handy when I use more than one computer.

    Stumbled :)
