A few minutes ago, we released the latest version of the Foxmarks extension to the Mozilla Add-ons site. The new release includes support for Firefox 3, which has been brewing in our beta test area for the past two months. It also streamlines the Setup Wizard to make it easier for new users to get started and includes a handful of translations for new locales.
We should note that until Firefox 3 ships (expected in about two weeks, according to what we hear), we'll be continuing to refine Foxmarks' support for that browser. There are still some rarely experienced problems, but having validated the core functionality with nearly 20,000 users in beta test, we felt sufficiently confident to make it available to anyone who has already made the early jump to Firefox 3.
If you experience problems, please feel free to check out the FAQ or drop us a line.
Update: If you'd like to tell us how much you love Foxmarks (and aren't embarrassed to profess as much in public), leave us a comment right here on the blog. (We read and appreciate every one of them; honestly we do.) If you don't require a response, commenting on the blog is better than sending email to our poor over-worked support people, who right now are collapsing under a pile of incoming fan mail. Oh, but don't stop sending the cookies; the elves love those cookies.
The Mozilla Add-ons site still says the add-on is only available for older versions of Firefox. I'm using Firefox 3 beta 5.
ReplyDelete@randell:
ReplyDeleteGive it time. It takes a couple of hours before new versions are propagated out to all of Mozilla's servers.
Many, many, many and many thanks, been waiting for this since FF3 beta was release.
ReplyDeleteWill this version sync between FF2 and FF3 reliably?
ReplyDelete@map_:
ReplyDeleteYes.
Excellent! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help in solving my sync problems earlier. You guys are the best. I can't wait to try this out at home too and get my bookmarks back in sync. Best. Plugin. Evar.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Well Done.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It helps me a lot. I will try the profile feature later.
I love you!
ReplyDeleteThis was the only thing holding me back from making the switch! :)
i.
Nice, was looking forward to this, couldn't find a decent alternative that was ff3 ready either so held out.
ReplyDeleteThanks
FF3 support? Greatness!
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance that you will make this add-on available for "SeaMonkey". From what I read it's just what I need. Unfortunately it doesn't work with "SeaMonkey" and there is nothing else with similar functionality.
ReplyDeleteHow about Konqueror?
ReplyDeleteAlso do you accept patches?
waiting for other data...Especially password. Weaves is doing good job...:) speedup guys....YOU ROCK
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much! This was the one reason I had not switched to Firefox 3 on my other operating system because I could not live without this set of bookmarks haha
ReplyDeleteGreat! I use ubuntu and they update my FF versione before you update your foxmark and i remained in great problems until now.. :D
ReplyDelete[...] No quería dejar de recomendar una vez más esta extensión. Puede ver la noticia del release en el blog de Foxmarks, o instalar la extensión directamente desde el sitio de Mozilla. [...]
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how much I missed Foxmarks till I upgraded to FF3 a while ago... I'm so glad it is working again! :) YEAH! Thanks y'all! You rock!
ReplyDeleteI use Firefox on four different machines, between home and work - without Foxmarks, it would be a nightmare to make sure the bookmarks I need were available on each of these. I upgraded my main home machine to FF3 a couple of weeks ago (because the FF2 memory leaks were just killing performance on that machine) and have been waiting anxiously to get Foxmarks hooked up. Needless to say, it was great to hear that the initial-sync crash bug (in FF3) was finally fixed. All you guys - keep up the good work! It's appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSo, I use Foxmarks as a method to help dual-boot my computer. I run both Ubuntu Hardy, and Windows XP Pro. I can't live without my bookmarks, especially my toolbar. I love Foxmarks, and was bummed when I upgraded to Hardy and found that the Mozilla site didn't support Foxmarks for Firefox 3 beta 5, which comes preinstalled on Hardy. Finally being able to use Foxmarks again made my life so much easier. I love the whole idea of Profiles, but I have one suggestion: when choosing which bookmarks to have in which profile, allow the user to see the contents of and choose inside of folders.
ReplyDeleteI was in the beta and I've gotta say it was easily as bug free as the stable release for FF2. Never once had a problem with it.
ReplyDeleteGreat work guys, my browsing wouldn't be the same without Foxmarks. Thanks for your work so far, and of course for your continued support :) .
For all those having problems with Firefox 3b5, just get the new Release Candidate 1 (RC1) version od firefox 3, no longer beta.
ReplyDeletewith RCs, as far as i know, you allready have the functionality the final version will have, plus all extensions can claim that if they work on RC, they WILL work on the final release.
...one little suggestion:
ReplyDeletea way to limit the logfile size, or just erase it when we want, without the need to open the firefox profile folder.
mine is H U G E, goes back to Sep.2007 takes forever to load, slows everything down when displayed.
cheers =)
I use three different computers and it just dawned on me that there should be a way to sync up my bookmarks amongst them. I found Foxmarks and I am very pleased that I did. Thanks for a very nice add -on.
ReplyDelete...just found out that my foxmarks.log file was 50Mb. Now I know why my Backups were so big!
ReplyDeleteI'm just excited! Foxmarks' FF3 support was the only thing to holding me back onto FF2. Thank you! You're great! The single most important FF extension for me.
ReplyDeletethank you, but i receive the message "could not set cookie", although firefox 3 accepts cookies.
ReplyDeleteFoxmarks is one of my Must-Have Firefox extensions. I can't thank the Foxmarks team enough! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteWell Done. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFoxmarks is one of the reasons I love Firefox so much. Well Done.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the Firefox 3 RC as soon as it became available, but uninstalled it when I discovered Foxmarks wasn't compatible yet. I can't use Firefox without it! I have 2 offices at work, a laptop and a desktop at home, and at university I'll end up on whatever machine is available in the computer pools. LOVE Foxmarks. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis extension to me is like oxygen. And now in a new version, yay!
ReplyDeleteFor me Foxmarks has opened entirely new ways to use my favourite browser. I use Foxmarks for example to maintain shopping lists that I can conveniently check and update both at home or in the office.
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating one of the most useful browser extensions in the history of mankind! :)
[...] Ich teste den Firefox 3 (FF3) schon seit einiger Zeit und bin hoch erfreut über dessen Geschwindigkeit. Heute nun gibt es endlich auch eine aktuelle Fassung des Foxmarks-Plugins mit FF3-Unterstützung zum synchronisieren meiner Bookmarks. [...]
ReplyDeleteI missed the beta trial so I was waiting... and waiting... and waiting for this new release. Finally it's here and the world is back on his track!
ReplyDeleteNice setup improvement from previous "look". Very well done.
You guys rock!
This extension is great!
ReplyDeleteExcellent add-on.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine to live without it!
It will be great if support for sync history, cookie, and saved password!!
ReplyDeleteVery good job !
ReplyDeleteThank you very very much.
Thank you \o/
ReplyDeleteReally thank you.
The best extension ever.
I use Foxmarks because I need to sync bookmarks between my dual booting of Ubuntu Linux and XP. However, when I updated to FF 3 RC1 on XP, and did the required Foxmarks update to 2.0.46.10, I keep getting a Connection Reset when I try to login and sync my bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteI've tried googling, and reinstalling the extension and it still doesn't work. Any advice would be great, my email is aaron(at)polity.ca if I don't check back :). Keep up the amazing work on Foxmarks!
[...] On Tuesday the developers publicly released Foxmarks 2.0.46.9, and this version is capable of running on Firefox 1.5 and up (including Firefox 3). According to the Foxmarks Blog 20,000 users participated in the Beta, and have verified that it works as expected: [...]
ReplyDeleteerror : could not set cookie
ReplyDelete@mike: I had the 'error: could not set cookie' as well, but then it dawned on me that I've prohibited third-party cookies. I've added foxmarks.com to the exceptions list (Tools | Options | Privacy | Cookies > [Exceptions...]), and it works like a treat now.
ReplyDelete@the Foxmarks team: hooray for FF3 support! I've been missing the extension ever since I switched to FF3b4 for increased performance.
I use about 4-5 different machines and it would have been a serious pain to save my bookmarks (and I have a lot) on each one.
ReplyDeleteThis extension is simply brilliant. Thanks again!
Great service.
ReplyDeletegood job it works perfect!!
Thank for the great service!
ReplyDeleteRequest: I think it is best practice if you send users to the HTTPS login by default, as opposed to HTTP as it is now
wow.. this thing mega-rocks! thanks, foxmarks development team!!
ReplyDeleteThx for this awesome extension. Foxmarks FTW
ReplyDeletehoowah! i've been waiting for this before upgrading to FF3.
ReplyDeletelotsa thanks guys!
YESSSSSSS this is what I've been waiting for for FF3.0!! Now if only HTML Validator would get updated for FF3.0 Mac. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, been holding off on upgrading to FF3 until Foxmarks was ready for it. After using Foxmarks for a couple of months now, I simply won't use firefox without it. Glad to hear it's safe to upgrade now!
ReplyDeleteCool. Thanks a lot to the foxmarks team for such a good addon.
ReplyDeleteI waited for your specific Addon to be available for Firefox 3 before changing to that new version of the browser.
I am using this Addon to have the same bookmarks on all my computers, home, notebook and office.
After upgrading to the latest version, half of my bookmarks are gone. What a mess. Thanks for nothing this time :(
ReplyDeleteMERCI.
ReplyDeleteC'est génial. Je peux enfin synchroniser mes marques-pages entre Ubuntu (Hardy Heron), XP et Vista avec Firefox 3.
Bravo à toute l'équipe.
[...] Na terça-feira foi lançado o Foxmarks 2.0.46.9 que finalmente já é compatível com o Firefox 3. Segundo o blog do Foxmarks 20 000 utilizadores testaram este programa em fase beta e confirmaram que funciona bem apesar de ainda ter uns bugs de pouca importância. [...]
ReplyDelete@lars: Please consult the support link in the upper right corner; there are several things that can cause a large bookmarks loss in Firefox 2, but usually it's known issues with Firefox itself, not Foxmarks. If you have any problems recovering your bookmarks, please email us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great extension, now all my links over years are syncd on my machines ....great work !
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this great and absolutely amazing extension! I'm from Brazil, and I'm a big fan of FF. When I used FF2, I prefered the extension to integrate with delicious.. But now that I've discovered this, with the new amazing favourites manager from FF3, I'd never go back to delicious!
ReplyDeleteA lot of thanks! And keep up with the great job you all are doing ;-P
Foxmarks are fantastic, i've 9 desktops and it would impossible to keep it in sync.
ReplyDeletei use my foxmarks at work, because we are still stuck with IE
Seriously ... I have been using foxmarks for over 3 years and it is quite amazing. Synching bookmarks with this great browser saves me hassle of backing it up every time I wish to format and synchronize them between my work pc and home.
ReplyDeletePerfect product! Awesome work!
Great work guys.....Thanks for putting it together so quickly...even though the bookmarking scheme has been completely changed.
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant in switching to FF3 just because a compatible bookmark sync was unavailable, which is no more the case.
Great work.....Kudos!!
Thank you very much... Foxmarks worked flawless for me, since I started using it nearly 2 years ago. Huge timesaver!
ReplyDeleteFoxmarks is by far my favorite add-on for Firefox. I have a desktop computer as well as a laptop and it's great to have everything automatically sync. I don't even have to worry about doing it since it runs in the background. Thanks for this amazing program and for continued updates!
ReplyDelete-Matt
Probably the most well refined bookmarks sync plugin out there. The beauty of it just works, no clicking no big ugly toolbars. You don't know it's there until you look at the tiny icon at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up!
When The FoxToDo ?
ReplyDeleteThis app rocks. So hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best add-ons i have used. I can bookmark something that i want to look at later from work, and when i get home, i can open up firefox and visit that site, without having to remember anything. Definately makes it easy to sync the information, and it works great.
ReplyDeletethank you very much!
ReplyDeleteworks perfekt with my own server and firefox3rc2 :-)
thks you very much. i've been using foxmarks for over a year, and it's by far the most important add-on. thks for the update for F3. I had the cookie problem, but the blog helped me out.
ReplyDeletenice one
Foxmarks is the killer app that keeps my web experience from spiraling out of control. I simply designate one system as "the base", sync whenever I leave the base for the day and when I open my laptop or visit another system, I download the new 'marks and continue on unabated.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
As I pledged to download Firefox 3 the day it's available I'm happy to hear that Foxmarks is compatible with it.
ReplyDeleteHi ! Foxmarks has become the best extension I've ever used. Simple yet powerful ...
ReplyDeleteNow for a stupid question : don't you think it could be more logical to have the left click on the foxmark icon do a "synchronise now" and the right-click to open the settings ?
Nevertheless, great extension and thank you for the Firefox 3.0 compatibility !
Just when i thought that i had every conceivably usefull add-on with my Firefox browser, i found Foxmarks! I love it so much i DELETED my del.i.cious (or whatever it is!) account! It's great to be able to go to any computer and see my Bookmarks EXACTLY AS I SEE THEM AT MY HOME COMPUTER! No frills, no extras that are never used, just a basic utilitarian add-on to an already perfect web browser. Glad to see, also, that you folks are working diligently to be sure Foxmarks is compatible with FF3.0, too! Well Done!
ReplyDelete@ Martijn Coppoolse: Thank you! That solved my problem (and a large hesitancy about transitioning to the latest RC of Firefox).
ReplyDeleteGreat add-on guys! I'm waiting for super-download Tuesday to install Fx3 and I'm so happy to know that foxmarks also has a final release for Fx3 ready from the get go ;-)
ReplyDeleteI use only a few extensions, but this is the only one that I would postpone switching to Fx3 for.
Thanks. really :-)
