    The best way to keep your book marks has to be the extension “Foxmarks” stored on the internet, available from any pc (with Firefox on it!), constantly in sync. One of the best extensions available.

    I also think Foxmarks is great. However, in addition to the bookmarks being stored on the internet, I go one step further and have my desktop Firefox synch with my Portable Firefox, so I am always backed up, at least unless the internet is down.
