Firefox Bookmarks Sync

Anyone know of a program to sync Firefox Bookmarks?
Not just copy the bookmarks file, actually sync the bookmarks themselves.
Its the one thing that really, really bugs me about mozilla's bookmarks.
mozilla/netscape used to use favorites ages ago but had to change to bookmarks.
(anti Microsoft is one thing, but at some point it becomes counter productive, i.e. bookmarks)
Every sync program on the planet can sync favorites since they are separate files, but I haven't found a single one that will sync bookmarks.

changelog original app <-> portable app here?

Submitted by guestt on March 21, 2007 - 2:30am

I was already using SumatraPDF and I thoght it`s very portable by default. I don`t really get why you needed to release a portable version here but I am sure the will be a good reason.

So, I suggest a little changelog how different the version on this page is to the original one.

In general for all apps this would be usefull.

Kingston's DataTraveler Secure

Submitted by PilotBill on March 20, 2007 - 11:41pm

Hello, does anyone have experience with Kingston's DataTraveler Secure USB drive? I like the idea of hardware-based encryption but are concerned that it won't work well with Portable Thunderbird. Ultimately, I am trying to replace a San Disk Titanium that has worked well until recently... it does bad things when I touch it with any static electricity!

Thanks,
Bill

a portable HD with mobile launchpad and portable apps?

Submitted by cadabra on March 20, 2007 - 3:31pm

Hi -

I am new to using portable apps.

1. If I purchase a portable HD with something called 'mobile launchpad', can I guess I do not need the menu system available on this site.

2. Would I be able to delete the 'mobile launchpad' and start with the portable apps mens - maybe I reformat the HD?

3. I am basically trying to figure out whether I would be boxing myself in my buying a storage device which had its own app menuing system? or do most people buy empty devices that they configure themselves?

Thanks

Ware on Flashdrive?

Submitted by Blizzie on March 19, 2007 - 10:46am

How much does running applications on a flashdrive ware down the flash memory? Is the flash memory only used when saving documents, or when running applications? If someone can explain the whole process it would be really helpful.

I already tried using the Search but wasn't able to find anything if it has been posted already. I know someone made a thread about iPod but this concerns flashdrives.
