Wow CNet where've you been?
I guess this is considered new since Foxmarks just put out an update in the past 24hrs

Opera has this feature inbuilt.

At least with respect to bookmarks, the highly underrated Maxthon has this feature built in and does a great job of syncing bookmarks between multiple installations of its product.

Shouldn't that be built into the OS?

Explain why an OS (OSX or Windows) should have built-in support for a 3rd party application like Firefox.

Don't be daft.

Thanks for the Passpack mention : )

Plugins are cool but Passpack offers a place to protect your passwords and ? a place to keep your security questions, disposable logins and now secure messaging: http://tinyurl.com/4rsusw

I just know RoboForm sucks big time. for password keeping, I've used password agent from Moon software for years now, and its worked fine for me, even has the autofill that I like so much. What I wouldn't like about a firefox plugin, is the firefox (or IE or any other browser for that matter) doesn't do a very good job of remembering passwords. For instance on myspace, I still have to re-login every other day, and if the login page is modified in any way, you have to type in the login information manually all over again, so even firefox isn't good at remembering login information. password agent or Keepass would be my two favorites to check out, and I've partial to keepass lately because it works under multiple platforms.

I'm curious what about RoboForm you don't like? I've been using the portable version of Roboform (RoboForm2Go) for about 4 years now and it's been *TERRIFIC* for me; never a problem unless I forget to take my USB key with me when I go home from work.

When I first started using RoboForm, I was using the non-portable version and using its synch function to transfer my data from my laptop to my Palm LifeDrive and then using *that* to either transport the data between multiple systems, or doing pw lookups on the LifeDrive. At some point however that conduit ceased to work, and the RoboForm folks decided to not support the LifeDrive. That's been the only issue I've ever had with RoboForm, and the switch to RoboForm2Go resolved all of that.
