Foxmarks
Today, we’ll
be covering a Firefox extension called Foxmarks!
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I absolutely love
it. I’m so excited to share it with you, so let’s get
right to it!
If Firefox is
your main Web browser, you probably have it installed on all the computers
you use regularly, right? However, a problem with your bookmarks may
arise. For example, all of your bookmarks on computer A are not necessarily
saved on computer B and computer C. And that's when Foxmarks comes
in handy. Foxmarks synchronizes your bookmarks so that you have all
of them right at your fingertips! Here's how to get it:
1.) Open up Firefox
on your first computer and head on over to this Web
site. Once you're there, click on the big green Install
Now button and follow the installation procedure.
2.) When Firefox reopens, the Foxmarks Setup Wizard will be displayed.
Click Next.
3.) Now, you’ll
be asked for your username and password. You’ll need to create
one, so go ahead and click on the "Need to create a new
account?" option.
4.) Just fill out the required information and then wait for your
confirmation e-mail to arrive.
5.) Click the confirmation link in the e-mail that Foxmarks sent you.
6.) Then go back
to the Setup Wizard and enter in your new information. Click Next
when you're finished.
7.) Foxmarks will
then verify your account. Click OK, followed by Next.
8.) You will
then be notified that your bookmarks are about to be uploaded. Go
ahead and click Next.
9.) You’re
done! Click the Finish button.
Okay, now I’ll show you how to add auxiliary computers to your
Foxmarks account.
1.) Open Firefox
on one of your other computers and once again, download Foxmarks from
this Web
site.
2.) After Firefox
restarts, the Setup Wizard will open again. Just click Next.
3.) Now, type
in your username and password and your account will then be verified.
Click OK.
4.) Select Next. Now, you will be asked how you’d
like to add the new bookmarks. I suggest the Merge
option. That way, the bookmarks from both of your computers will be
added to the server.
5.) Finally, click Finish.
You can add as
many computers as you want to your account. Also, keep in mind that
Foxmarks automatically synchronizes your new bookmarks when you shut
down Firefox. Talk about convenient! Another great feature of Foxmarks
is the ability to see your bookmarks from any computer anywhere in
the world. Just head on over to my.foxmarks.com
and log in!
With all these
great features, you might even feel guilty that you’re getting
Foxmarks for free. Enjoy!
