I do hope there's a simple way to achieve this, otherwise I would be terrible dissapointed.

All I wanted was the good old Xmarks funtionality, but using mozilla servers.

After many attempts, I still can't achieve this thing that should be absolutely trivial.

I registered my user in firefox sync, then in another computer I just expected to enter my username and password and to synchronize my bookmarks, but I couldn't achieve it.

Now I just want to reset my account and start from scratch with a simple guide. I'd like to upload my bookmarks again from my primary desktop, and then being able to download those very same bookmarks from any other desktop (the usual xmarks stuff)

Is it possible to do it in a simple way, or shall I just quit firefox sync for good and go with xmarks?

saludos

Start Firefox. When ready, press <Shift><Ctrl> B. .From here, at the top of the page, select Import/Export. .Now, near the bottom select to save as HTML. .Save to a file, copy the file to a disk, or e-mail it to yourself. .On the other computer, repeat the above but select Import.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I was aware of the import/export functionality, but I'd like to keep both desktops in sync.

That's why I mentioned xmarks, that's exactly was I'm looking for.

You can take a look at Sync.

  1. open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
  2. click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"

To add more devices you can either pair a device or enter the credentials manually.

  1. click "I Have an Account" : Connect
  2. click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key) manually

You can click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync.
