Install mozilla weave

You'll either get an error message telling you why Weave can't log in, or if everything works, you'll be taken to the Preferences page.

Now Weave will automatically sync in the background every so often. Your desktop bookmarks will start to show up in the Fennec bookmark menu, familiar sites from your desktop history will appear in your awesomebar, etc.

You don't need to touch anything on the Preferences page if you don't want to. But if you feel the need, you use this page to turn off individual data types that you don't want synced; you can force a sync to happen now by clicking the Sync button, etc. Jump to: navigation , search.

It does not preserve page state or synchronize that between devices. For example, if you have filled out a form field in a webpage on one computer, you will be able to load the page on another computer, but it will not retain the form field data.

It also, unfortunately, doesn't appear to remember your position in the page. Weave for Firefox Mobile can be installed through the browser's add-ons pane, just like the desktop version. The setup is basically the same, but the user interface has been tailored to fit better into the mobile user experience. After you have enabled syncing, you will be able to access your shared bookmarks by clicking the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder in the browser's main bookmarks pane. When you have the Weave add-on installed, a small computer icon will appear in your left-hand tab bar.

You can click this icon to see the tabs from your other computers. The list will be displayed in a really nice finger-scrollable list that displays page favicons, titles, and URLs. You can click one of the items in the list to load it in Firefox Mobile. I think that the way the available tabs are displayed in Firefox Mobile is quite a bit nicer than the menu in the desktop version.

When I started poking around inside of the Weave add-on to see if I could figure out how that particular feature works, I made a nifty discovery.

This HTML page is built into the add-on and is included in both the desktop and the mobile version. It would be nice if Mozilla could make a version of it that is styled for the desktop and then add it to the History menu. Weave has matured considerably over the past few years and has become one of the most powerful and compelling solutions for synchronization that is available for the Firefox Web browser.

I have long been an enthusiastic fan of a competing add-on called Xmarks , but now I'm leaning towards a switch to Weave because it integrates so spectacularly well with Firefox Mobile. Xmarks still has some advantages over Weave, including out-of-the-box support for several mainstream browsers, a sophisticated system for managing separate synchronization profiles, a Web-based interface that lets you access your bookmarks from anywhere, and easy support for sharing your bookmarks with other people.

Weave's tighter security model might make it difficult for Mozilla to imbue it with some of those features. Synchronization may not seem like a particularly groundbreaking feature because we have seen it before with a number of other browsers and add-ons. The thing that really makes Weave compelling is that it demonstrates how the Mozilla platform can create powerful synergy between desktop and mobile environments.
