Foxmarks for smart pastors
Today on Firefox Evangelism, I want to highlight a powerful Firefox extension guaranteed to make your life easier if you work on more than one computer. It is called Foxmarks and it keeps your bookmarks syncronized between two or more more computers.
If you are like most pastors and work both at home and at your office, you can have your bookmarked sites (like this one, wink, wink) on all the computers you use. This is useful because it removes the need to remember the log in URL for your web mail account, online Bible tool, fantasy baseball league home page,…whatever web page you may bookmark.
To use Foxmarks you need to do the following.
- Download Firefox. Remember, Firefox is your best browsing option.
- Then, go to Foxmarks and click on the “download now” button. Firefox will take it from there.
- Sign up for a free account.
- Follow steps 1-3 on ever computer you use. (Be sure to use the same user name.)
You now have your bookmarked sites, however you choose to organize them, on any computer you use regularly. And any changes you make will show up on on all the computers you have Foxmarks installed on.
One more great thing about Foxmarks….if you are at a Library or another computer that does not belong to you, you can log into Foxmarks with your user name and have access to your bookmarked sites.
Do you have a Firefox extension you love? Contact me with it and I will include it in a reader generated list. If you are a blogger I will link back to your site!

I used Foxmarks for a while, but I have found myself drifting aways from bookmarks saved in my browser and I use the Google Toolbar and it has a bookmark option…now I save a bookmark and it saved and accessed anywhere and anytime I am on the web through any computer. Now that Google Notebook has integrated bookmarks, accessing them and managing them is easier than ever…anyway, this system seems to be working for me.

That’s interesting Bill. I will take a look at it. I like the Google Toolbar a great deal. Thanks!
