Weave your Firefox 3 data across multiple machines

WeaveNow that Google Browser Sync has gone bye-bye for Firefox 3, the search for alternatives is on. Foxmarks has been nominated by many of you, and for good reason, but let’s not rule out Mozilla’s own offering in the works: Weave.

Weave is still in a prototype state at version 0.1.30, but version 0.2 should be right around the corner. Actually, it was expected early this week, but we won’t quibble over a few days. Like Google Browser Sync, Weave is a server-based system to keep your browser settings in sync. You’ll need to set up a free Weave account and install the add-on to Firefox 3 to get started. After that, you can pick and choose what browser data you want synced through the cloud:

  • Bookmarks
  • History
  • Cookies
  • Saved Passwords / Saved Form Data
  • Tabs
  • Extensions / Themes
  • Search Plugins
  • Microformats

For most, the service is probably a little hit-or-miss at this stage, but this is worth watching. Especially for Firefox users with multiple devices.
