Getting your Firefox synchronized

Are you using Firefox on more than one computer? I certainly do, I use Firefox at work, at home and even at school, so it's only natural that I want to be able to have the same bookmarks, settings, skins, etc. everywhere I go. One way to solve this problem is to keep track of your bookmarks online using services as Del.icio.us, but what if you want to keep your bookmarks private ? And this doesn't solve the problem with saved passwords and other settings you can't easily import. Or you can use some specific Firefox addons to synchronize your bookmarks, but then again that won't help you very much.

Another answer to your problems would be to install a software like FolderShare that will keep your Firefox instances up to date. What you'll do is configure the software so that when you install new plugins or when you modify in any way the content of the synced folder, it will do the same on all the other online installations. There are of course a few drawbacks such as the fact that at least two computers must be online for this to work, and the fact it won't keep your browsing history (as the file used for that it's a little hard to handle by FolderShare).
