If your use Firefox and work on more than one computer, Windows or Mac, you might want to try Google Browser Sync. It’s an extension for Firefox that syncs your browser settings across all Firefox installations on all of your computers.

The extension allows you to sync your bookmarks, cookies, history, passwords and auto-complete settings across all of your machines. You can also restore the open windows and tabs from your last session no matter where you were when you were last browsing. Furthermore, you can de-select certain settings that you don’t want to synchronize, such as your saved passwords.

All you need for Google Browser Sync is Firefox 1.5 or later and a Google Account. The extension asks you to set up a PIN, and the system uses that PIN to encrypt the transmissions that occur while you are uploading or downloading your browser settings.

There are several other browser sync extensions available for Firefox, but none of them appear to be as thorough as Google’s.
