i'm a big fan of Google Browser Sync , however after firefox 3.0, google decided not keep supporting this product, since there're several other tools with the same functionality available. the key idea is to synchronize the browser metadatas with several computers. last year, i worked on more than 4 computers, thus this function is extremely useful.
today, when i updated to firefox 2.0.0.16, all my bookmarks lost. I think it was because, the google browser sync do not support this higher version or the dataset in the server was cleared to let people change to other tools. anyway, i've got the problem. here's the solution
1. go to C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[A Dir Name]\bookmarkbackups
you can see lots of backups there. cool. pick some of them, for example a.html
2. uninstall google browser sync, restart firefox
3. Bookmarks => Organize Bookmarks ... => File ... => Import ... => a.html
done. the problem is the cookie info maybe lost, i'm not sure.
i'll install that firefox 3.0 and try molliza weaver.
actually, these kinds of bookmarks service, like del.us can do lots of applications. with the dataset, we can do recommendation, not only new pages, also new people. we can also do search, usually the bookmark are selected by the users. these webpages are more valuable than some of others. it'll be another way to do better search. just not sure whether google stops supporting this product is right or not, however, the codes of google browser sync is available on google codes. good news.
