Firefox browser sync
Google has just released a Firefox extension that "continuously synchronizes your browser settings". Basically it will store the settings you choose in your Google account — which are then loaded each time the browser is launched.
This is a really cool extension that I will gladly use. It makes a lot of sense to carry around your browser settings and bookmarks from computer to computer. Naturally people are going to be worried about their privacy when it comes to a product like this, but for those of us who don’t mind sharing a bit of information, it is going to be very useful.
On a related note, the official Google blog also says they have fixed a lot of bugs in the toolbar for Firefox and are today stripping the "beta" label from it.
