This is handy since I can be on ANY&nbsp;computer and get access to my bookmarks since they are synced between your computers AND saved on the <a href="http://www.foxmarks.com/" target="_blank">Foxmarks</a> website. Free is a very good price, especially when they add convenience.&nbsp;</p>

Not only that, but you can have access to the Bookmarks in Firefox. I've been using Foxmarks for years with FF, and now, finally, my Safari and FF bookmarks are exactly the same. (And I can also get them in IE, for the few times that I use it.)

Awesome.

That is good to know. How do you go about editing your bookmarks in Safari? Or can you use this to edit them and then sync up to your browser?

You edit them as you always do - you click that control on the far left of the Bookmarks Bar (All Bookmarks) and you can manage them quite well from there.

I second the "awesome". Now I can have all browsers on all machines (PC + Mac) in sync and have MobileMe push them down to my phone as well.

Am working now on getting my wife's bookmarks set up across all machines too (same machines, different accounts).
