Google updates Firefox synchonization plug-in
June 9, 2006 by Mike Wendland
Google has released a new plug-in extension for Firefox that keeps Web browser settings synchronized on multiple computer systems. The plug-in synchronizes bookmarks, the history list of Web pages that have been visted, passwords, and cookies.
This means that your Firefox settings on your laptop will be the same on your desktop.
There is a slight downside to this: Google advises that because the plug-in must update the browser settings whenever Firefox is opened, it will slightly increase the start-up time of Firefox (the time between clicking on the Firefox icon and loading the start page).
The company says it’s working on a fix.
