All the modern leaders of browser building have included settings and bookmarks sync in their products so that you have the same browser setting on any of your devices. Anyone who has a mobile version can exchange bookmarks and passwords between platforms - mobile and desktop. But, again, this is only about one browser: its desktop and mobile versions... What if you are using different browsers such as Chrome and Firefox? This problem is also being solved, with several alternative programs.
xMarks
The most interesting from the point of view of the degree of coverage of browsers and platforms seems to be xMarks. This solution comes in the form of extensions and add-ons for four different browsers: Google chrome, Firefox, Opera and.
This allows xMarks not only to help negotiate all the most popular browsersbut also to unite platforms: iOs, Windows and Linux.
I tested xMarks on (it supports extensions for Google Chrome) and Firefox.
To synchronize data between different browsers registration on the xMarks service is required.
Synchronization happened without any visible problems... The bookmarks have really become the same. There was another funny bonus that I did not expect. Even the last open tabs were synced! This even in one browser on different computers it is difficult to achieve with regular means, but here are two different browsers ...
After registering with xMarks, you can also manage your bookmarks through the service's web interface.
Sync Bookmarks with iPhone
There are also highly specialized solutions among synchronization solutions. So you can sync your bookmarks on iPhone using iCloud. This can be done with the iCloud Bookmarks browser add-ons.
The add-on is available in the Chrome store and Firefox extensions.
There is also a separate control panel that allows you to configure sync settings. This is a Windows desktop application.

And at the end of the article, there is one more way to synchronize bookmarks. It claims almost complete versatility: all major desktop browsers are supported, and there are also applications for two mobile platforms: iOS and Android.
A modern person actively uses the Internet, switching from a home computer to a work computer, then to a smartphone or tablet, then back to a home computer. Pages are laid on each device, sometimes there are a lot of such bookmarks.
Steps to sync Mozila
Seek out lost information in the ocean of data, it's hard. As well as re-register personal settings, pull up extensions. Sometimes the need to save data also arises when reinstalling the operating system.
Therefore, all modern browsers have built-in systems of their own that ensure the alignment of user data when working on different gadgets. This synchronization is also provided in Mozilla. For this there is the Firefox Sync service. So how to sync the mozila. Let's divide the process into steps.
First step
To sync Mozilla Firefox you need to create an account - an account. It is he who will be the identifier, the binding of user data in the system. Using the manager's service, the user sends passwords, keys, bookmarks to the browser server for storage.
When you log in from a new device from your profile to Mozilla, in order to sync bookmarks, it automatically uploads them there. It is desirable that the latest installed on all user's devices firefox version.
We create a profile in the browser. For this:
Second step
Congratulations. We proceed directly to the process of synchronizing Mozilla bookmarks.
The browser will open a menu with the corresponding table of contents. There you can uncheck the items that are not subject to it:
- tabs;
- bookmarks;
- passwords;
- stories;
- additions;
- settings.
The required properties are automatically adjusted.
Third step
In order to sync Mozilla across all your devices, you need to:
To remove any of the devices, do the following.
In the browser Mozilla Firefox there is a function data synchronization... It can help you sync bookmarks, passwords, browsing history, open tabs, and even add-ons installed in your browser.
This is very convenient: let's say in Mozilla Firefox, which is installed on my work computer there are many bookmarks and saved passwords for sites. I want the same bookmarks and passwords to be on me in Firefox installed on me houses... Moreover, if I delete any bookmark at home, it will also disappear on my work computer. All of this can be done with synchronization.
By the way, recently (since version 29) the sync process in Mozilla Firefox has changed... Those who used the old version of synchronization, I think, will agree that the process was not very convenient due to the use of secret pairing codes and passwords to recover lost keys.
In the new version it will be necessary to use firefox account... Those. by entering your username and password on home computer, or a work computer - you will get access to your bookmarks, settings, etc. The same can be done on a tablet or smartphone if they are on the Android platform.
As reported on the developer's website, using both the old and the new version of synchronization will not work. Thus, to create a Firefox account and take advantage of the new sync, you will need to disconnect your current devices from the old sync.
And one more thing: although old version synchronization is still working, Mozilla is going to continue supporting it for a limited time. Therefore, my advice to you: create yourself a Firefox account and use new version synchronization.
Now more about how to do this:
1) Launch the browser Mozilla Firefox and go to the settings. Here we select “Enter Synchronization”: 
2) In the next window, click the "Start" button. Further it will be offered. Enter your email address here and create a password. You will also need to select the year of birth. Then click the "Next" button: 
3) After that, we will be informed that a link has been sent to the specified mail to confirm the account: 
4) Now we go to our mail - there a new letter is already waiting for us. In it, click the "Confirm" button: 
5) Back to our open tab and we see a message that the account is confirmed! 
Now on another computer (or android device) launch the browser Mozilla Firefox.
1) Go to settings - click “Enter Synchronization”. Then we press the button "Start".
2) Further, at the very bottom of the window that opens, click on the link: “ Already have an account? To come in”:
3) Next, enter our email address and password - click "Login": 
4) If in the last window we click "Control", we will see that we are in our account and what exactly synchronize: 
That's all! You can go to the “Bookmarks” tab in your browser and make sure that they are exactly the same as on another computer.
A final tip for those with the old version of synchronization is already in use: Before starting all the steps described above, go to your browser settings and in the “Synchronization” tab, do not forget to click “Disconnect this device”. Thus, you will save yourself from possible problems:
