This may be more of an extension feature than a core feature, but there isn't an extension out there that does it as well as it could be done. | This may be more of an extension feature than a core feature, but there isn't an extension out there that does it as well as it could be done. | ||

The one extension I've found that comes close to this is Bookmarks Synchronizer that stores your bookmarks in an XML format. But it has a critical flaw that can cause you to lose your existing bookmarks and appears to have been abandonded after version 1.0.1. | The one extension I've found that comes close to this is Bookmarks Synchronizer that stores your bookmarks in an XML format.

First, I agree with the post above. I sometimes work from home and if I find something worth bookmarking, I usually have to send myself the link at work (or viceversa). Having an online repository would be great. | : First, I agree with the post above.

: I'm afraid it may be late for the second point as you guys already are in the middle of implementation. However, I read an article by UI guru Jakob Nielsen years ago that was focused on Bookmarks, History.

== Integrate Firefox with the Windows "Favorites" system == | |||
I'm going to propose something very radical, but please give it serious thought. Consider natively integrating Firefox with the Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows XP "Favorites" system. I realise most people consider this to be an "evil IE feature", but all versions of Windows in the past 6+ years have included Favorites as a native, OS-level feature. Favorites are included in everything from the start menu to the "main menu" of explorer folder windows. Yes, it's part of the "Integrate IE with the OS curse", but I believe it falls within the Firefox philosophy - simple, standardize, OS-friendly user interfaces. | I'm going to propose something very radical, but please give it serious thought.
