Further users spend a lot of time on re-finding information on the web. A feature like this will enhance his user-experience. Sooner or later, competiting browsers will implement this feature. An early start on this will make firefox even more competitive compared to its rival browsers.

I was thinking of having the plugin record all the information and put it into an xml file then encrypt and send to the server. When fetching the xml from the server the plugin would grab the xml deycrypt and then do the dirty work.

	The reason for xml is because the only thing i need to load are bookmarks, history, links to plugins and browser settings. All of this is plain text that each plugin could reconize. So something light and fast to transfer no matter what connection speed your on.
