MozBackup Synchronizes and Backs Up Your Firefox Profiles and Extensions

We've written before about Foxmarks, which recently went through a name change to Xmarks. Though it now works with several browsers, it was popularized as a Firefox extension used by many mobile users who want to synchronize their bookmarks and profiles across devices. Good as it is, I also like to use MozBackup--another Firefox extension--for backing up profiles and many similar tasks. MozBackup is compatible with a slew of browsers, and lets you back up and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, cache and more. Here's what you get with it.


Foxmarks Becomes Xmarks, Adds Useful New Features

Foxmarks has long been beloved by Firefox users who use it to synchronize Firefox bookmarks and passwords for various devices. Recently, the Foxmarks team also added support for the Internet Explorer and Safari browsers. Now, the Foxmark folks are changing the name to Xmarks, and adding many new capabilities. Among the chief new additions is the ability to suggest sites to you based on your own usage data. You visit a web site, click the Xmarks icon and get a list of five suggested sites similar to the one you are browsing. You can also get additional site information on your Google search results.
