    Hello,
    I recently stumbled upon(coincidently through an FF addon with the same name) across this site.
    It has a lot of free Mac software listed, it could be helpful.
    Note: This is not my website, I am just the messenger.

    Do a search and you'll find lots of threads on the subject already. Here's the "official one"

    i realize this is simply from the other list of programs, but I have been looking for something like this for sooo long, and what do you know, the best company ever, google, already offers exactly what I was looking for

    http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/

    this works so well, I have tons of bookmarks very neatly organized into many folders, which are all in by bookmarks toolbar, i use both computers quite regularly, so when I start saving new bookmarks on each computer, I had to manually go into the organizer and update them myself, browsersync looks at the bookmarks I have on all my machines and creates one new large group of bookmarks that includes all them from all of my machines.

    most useful thing I have downloaded in a long time, works better than any other browser sync tool i have seen.
