Yesterday I barely found out about a Firefox Extension made by Google: Google Browser Sync. This is pretty crazy, it’s what I’ve been looking for for a while and I didn’t even know Google, my favorite company, had already made it haha. Basically it stores all your information from your browser like Bookmarks, Cookies, Tabs/Windows Open, etc. and syncs it to their servers on your account. So you can install this on another computer say at work/school, and it’ll automatically synchronize both computers. So if you bookmark something at home, and you go to your school computer which is also running this extension, you’ll have the bookmark over there too.
Right now I’m not using it for that purpose but rather for backup, just in case anything happens. It’d be better if Google somehow let you view or manage these things it stores, but as far as I know that’s not possible. Either way, this is a great extension so far.
If you ever get into a situation where you have all these tabs open and you have to leave and can’t leave the browser on, some people like me force kill the process (Using CTRL+ALD+DEL) so that the next time I start up Firefox it allows me to open up those same tabs (Lame I know haha), instead with this extension you can close the browser regularly (Just don’t close the tabs themselves), and the next time you start it up the discrete little Google Browser Sync extension will ask you which of those you would like to go back to. Really neat.
