We're also delighted to share that Mozilla chose us as one of their launch partners. After you install Firefox 3, you'll see a first-run page telling you all about its great new features. If choose to learn more about how to "Customize" Firefox 3, you'll be presented with a page of a handful of partner add-ons and we're one of them.
Being a part of the Firefox ecosystem has been a great experience for us and our users, and we're delighted to see that Mozilla thinks so too.
If you're spreading the word about Firefox 3 today and also wish to help promote Foxmarks, please share the following Firefox 3 download link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/?p=foxmarks. If a user installs Firefox from this link, Foxmarks will be promoted on the very first page they see after the install.

After Mozilla Weave comes out, Foxmarks will be history. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that v0.2 of weave will be full of bugs, and you should give it at least 6 more months to develop further...
ReplyDeleteWeave doesn't give you a decent online interface for accessing your bookmarks. I'm using it the same way I used Google Browser Sync on FF2. Good enough for all its other features, but Foxmarks still handles my bookmarks.
ReplyDelete"After Mozilla Weave comes out, Foxmarks will be history. "
ReplyDelete@David:
Your commentary is incredibly rude and immature. First, I think Weave will focus in portability, not features. If you take to account both visions you will see that Foxmarks will be much more free to try/add interesting features. The extension is complete, mature and I think that when Foxmarks adds password sync, then Weave will be history... just like Google Browser Sync =)
@Gustavo: yes indeed you are right! We are working on some interesting additions to the add-on that will focus on more than just portability. I'm also happy to say that password sync is not too far off in the future.
ReplyDelete4 get bout him. i couldnt live without my foxmarks. my bookmarks have grown into a very organised and concise directory and they are priceless to me and i believe worth a lot to others. with ff2 i recieved a popup msg every now and then about bookmarks being missing and not to sync. when i have a look it does look smaller but i cant pinpoint any areas missing. its a bug apprently but i dont understand why it would be a problem. if bookmarks were missing surely they could just be merged with the servers and readded?
ReplyDeleteSorry this has turned into a support ticket! hopefully ff3 will fix this.
keep up the good work by the way ( i came here to check foxmarks was available for ff3 otherwise i wasnt gonna install it!
One thing that would be nice is password sync. Thats the most wantet feature after Google Browser sync is out.. Give us Password sync, and I am in ;-)
ReplyDelete@Irinotecan: Don't worry, we're not going anywhere! We've spent considerable effort in building a system that supports hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, and we have lots of plans to make Foxmarks do much more.
ReplyDeleteAs for your ideas on supporting other platforms, we will have an announcement on that front in the next couple of days. Check back for the exciting news!
Regarding selective cookie sync, yes that's a good idea indeed. Today we have Sync Profiles, a feature that lets you specify which bookmarks are synced between your computers. Extending this functionality to cookies makes a lot of sense.
Your Foxmarks extension page on mozilla is broken :(
ReplyDeleteWhen loading the page:

All I get is "Missing argument: addon_id"
I love Foxmarks, but after upgrading to Firefox 3, and using Foxmarks v 2.0.47.4 I find that I am no longer able to sync my bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteI try to do a force upload, and the status indicator stays on "Writing to Sync File..."
This is happening on two separate machines (OS X 10.5.3), both running Firefox 3 and Foxmarks 2.0.47.4.
Using Firefox 2, which I kept on each machine does successfully synchronize the bookmarks however.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
Foxmarks did an awesome job when I downloaded Firefox 3. All of my bookmarks were in place and ready to go, and set up took only a few minutes. Foxmarks just wins. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThere is a comment about weave..
ReplyDeleteLOL.. weave is a JOKE, after a HD crash , weave refused to download back my bookmarks ...

The same problem =[

ReplyDelete@Rukuki
Do you install Tor Button Extension??
Tor Button is not currently compatible with Foxmarks. Until it is fixed, you will have to disable or uninstall Tor Button in order for Foxmarks to operate properly.
@ supernova:
ReplyDeleteThanks for that input - I could not figure out why it wasn't working... I uninstalled TorButton on both my machines and now Foxmarks works like a charm again!
Thanks!
Ok so prior to installing FF3, I've been happily using google browser sync for bookmark syncing only (no history, passwords etc). Now that I'm using FF3 I can't use gbs anymore :( so I decided to give foxmarks a try. Setup was easy (2 computers), but the thing I really don't understand is why I have to remember to click the sync now button whenever I start my browser session.
ReplyDeleteExample, for my latest test I made sure my laptop and desktop are sync'd. On my desktop I create a new bookmark, shut down FF and move to my laptop. I've been on my laptop now for over 30 minutes and that new bookmark hasn't shown up yet! I have Auto Sync and Sync on shutdown both checked. I also have my password saved... Why must I have to remember to click Sync Now whenever I sit down at a computer to be sure I have my latest bookmarks? I never had to think about it with google browser sync....
@ supernova:
ReplyDeleteI also had to uninstall TorButton. Thanks for letting us know. Maybe this should be more widely advertised.
cheers
--e.
I have upgrade my Firefox to 3, and when I would desactivate all css style in web page (webdevelopper plug-in) I press “ctrl + shift + s” but now FF3 synchronize Foxmarks!!. With FF2 they reconized press ctrl + shift + s to webdevelopper shortcut only. I’m confuze :P
ReplyDeleteHave you a solution to change one or other shortcut?
Thanks!
Hi, i am using foxmarks very long time but when FF3 apears foxmark cant syncronize with server
ReplyDeleteUsing FF3 and foxmarks 2.0.47.4
@eric / gaurav : the known issues should have lisited foxmarks issues with other firefox extensions (like tor button) and their workarounds.
ReplyDeletethis would be of great help to foxmarks users.
i had some months back reported an issue where foxmarks icon denotes changes to be syncronised although there were no changes. i was told that foxmarks had an issue with adblock plus which was the reason for this behaviour. workaround was to first install foxmarks then install adblock plus (or maybe just the reverse). got to tell you that i still have the same issue with ff3 and all versions of foxmarks since then. unfortunately i am unable to figure out the steps to reproduce the behaviour.
heres the post where i had reported the behaviour http://blog.foxmarks.com/?p=117
ReplyDelete@sarang: Sorry for the lack of direct updates on that issue; see http://wiki.foxmarks.com/wiki/DisableDirtyOnBatch for details on how to circumvent that behavior.
ReplyDeleteThere is a bug in Foxmarks, when I upgraded to Firefox 3 it freezes at synchronization.
ReplyDeleteI came to conclusion that Foxmarks cant synchronize until Torbutton add-on is installed.
When I disabled Torbutton, Foxmarks start synchronizing normally.
@Spale: That's actually a bug in Firefox that we've covered in our FAQ; see our FAQ entry on Torbutton for more information.
ReplyDeleteI've switched to Foxmarks now that Google Browser Sync is abandoned, but one annoyance I'm finding is constant password prompts.
ReplyDeleteIf you use a master password in Firefox, Foxmarks will ask you for your master password each and every time it sync. It won't even save it throughout the same session, and definitely won't save it between sessions.
I'd really like an option for it to be like Google Browser Sync, in that it will happily sync away without requiring my intervention each time. The only way to achieve this at the moment is to totally disable the master password, meaning I can't safely save my logins for all my sites at risk of the computer falling into the wrong hands (it's a work machine left in an office overnight).
Hopefully this can be addressed in a future version of Foxmarks!
does this work with mac OSX? if not, any plans for that?
ReplyDelete@Logan: I use Foxmarks in several separate Firefox profiles under Mac OS X--so long as you can use Firefox on the operating system, you can use Foxmarks!
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteI've just begun using FoxMarks, but so far I'm impressed and delighted.
ReplyDeleteOne feature request / suggestion: an option to sync my opensearch plugins would be great too! It's just a folder of text files, so would be a relatively straightforward improvement to make.
Thanks!
An excellent plug-in. I miss one feature, though: is it possible to add [auto-] sorting functionality for bookmarks? It would be nice to be able to set "automatically sort on sync" (or on upload and on download separately) functionality.
ReplyDeleteAs a first step of synchronizing across all browsers I would consider an ability to sync between Firefox and other browsers locally. Together with an ability to sync with Firefox globally, it would actually allow to sync all browsers globally. I used a little SyncBookmarks application http://www.syncbookmarks.com/ to do a local sync across all browsers (and local XBEL too), but unfortunately SyncBookmarks doesn't work with Firefox 3.
ReplyDeleteI don't have tor button and I cannot sync to foxmarks on my windows xp, windows 2000 and ubuntu. It seems to do nothing when I try to upload my bookmarks to foxmarks.
ReplyDeleteI use FF 2.x on windows 2000, FF 3.x on Ubuntu and Windows XP. All of them cannot work with or without tor button.
I am sure I am not alone. My friend could not get her foxmarks to work on her Mac too. Same problem... Uploading does not work at all. This is sooooooooooo frustrating.
@Eric: The likely fix for the problem you're experiencing is described on the Mozilla support page.
ReplyDeleteI have been unable to add-on Foxmarks since upgrading to Firefox 3. I have also been unable to add-on some others such as FireFTP. I'm on a Leopard MacBook running the latest version of OSX. Firefox appears unable to connect when using "Get Add-ons" neither does the link does work when trying to click on it on the Firefox add-ons download page. I've done various things like make sure I have lots of space in my my cache and deleted some files as I've found recommendations, but without success. Any ideas?
ReplyDeletei have a problem wen a want to connect to foxmarks wit my account it is giive my tice
