Keep Firefox and IE favorites/bookmarks in sync at multiple locations

I use Internet Explorer less and less now, mostly only when I am working on an IE-ony control and I am forced to use IE... mostly. Firefox is my new default browser. Firefox alone isn't that great, but given its stupid-simple XUL extension architecture, there's a wealth of extensions for it - and when you get a few good extensions going, you begin to realize that this browser can basically do whatevs you want it to. I can right click a UPS tracking number & instantly get results, or compress 10 google search result pages into 1 giant long page. But anwyay, getting back to my point about keeing favorites in sync...

So now that I use 2 different browsers, and I use both browsers at home and at work, I have a total of 4 browsers that I need to keep in sync. An extension for Firefox called FavoriteSync solves both these issues. FavoriteSync is a windows app that runs discreetly in your system tray and also comes as optional extension for Firefox. During install, you will need to create a free account. Once you have your account, launch FS, put in your credentials, and you're good to go. Any time you update your favs, they will be synced up to the server. If you use Firefox like me, install the FavoriteSync FF extension, which keeps IE & FF in sync. Any changes made to one browser at any location will update all browsers. Pretty sick.
