Weave Is Now Firefox Sync, Soon Available in Firefox By Default

Weave was a quite popular extension for Firefox coming from the Mozilla Labs which allowed you to create an online identity and sync bookmarks, passwords, tabs, history and preferences across multiple computers and Firefox installations. I personally used the service many times back when I was a Firefox user and it saved me many hours of boring export / import. It was useful.

Weave is gone, for good. But don’t worry, is coming back with the name of “Firefox Sync” and it will be integrated in a major release of Mozilla’s browser in the near future. In the meantime, you can download the extension here and start using it right now.

Firefox Sync looks great and, more importantly, works great. Also, you’ll be able to use the same Firefox Sync identity with the upcoming Firefox Home application, which we’ve already covered here.

Good stuff coming along, but please Mozilla: give us a more Mac-like 4.0 version.
