Hey everyone,

I'm a new switcher and don't have my mac yet, but when I do get it, I would really would like to be able to auto-sync my Firefox bookmarks, but paying so much money for .Mac when I use my website-hosting for file storage anyway seems pointless and a waste of money... however, I was wondering if there are maybe any freeware or shareware apps (or even FF extensions!!) out there that allow you to sync your bookmarks between multiple macs (and if possible, Windows PCs)...

Any insight on this situation would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I mean it's made by Google, not that you should 'google it'. And it's actually called Google Browser Sync:

Sorry about the confusion.
