I recently switched to Firefox as my browser of choice on the Fujitsu P1610 and have never looked back. It makes all the web work I do for jkOnTheRun much easier and the extensibility has turned the browsing experience on the Tablet PC into a very productive one. Yesterday when I was getting the new MacBook Pro ready it was really important for me to get my hundreds of browser bookmarks transferred from the Windows machines over to the Mac. I did a lot of online research for a good way to do that (using Safari, Camino, and Firefox on the Mac) but was coming up pretty dry when I remembered a free (read beta) utility from Google that purports to keep your bookmarks in Firefox synced across multiple computers. Google Browser Sync stores not only your bookmarks but optionally your cookies, history, and tabs/ windows on the Google servers. You install it first on the machine you want to sync everywhere, in my case the Windows device, and it uploads all that Firefox browsing information up to the server.
I then installed it on the Mac and in less than 5 minutes my entire Firefox environment was automatically synced to the Mac. Nothing could have been easier and now all my stuff stays synchronized on both platforms in Firefox. Google Browser Sync will also restore the last Firefox session no matter which PC you were using at the time so you can always start right where you left off, even if it was on a different computer. If you only have one PC Google Browser Sync can serve as a full backup of your Firefox environment so you never have to worry about it again. As for Safari and Camino, they both can import Firefox bookmarks so I now have all my stuff in those browsers too.
