    Hello, I use Firefox Browser and loved Xmarks to save my Bookmarks too. Now I read that Xmarks will be stopping to work on Jan.11,2011 & I need something as good and as easy to save my bookmarks too, any ideas :confused:
    Thanks & hope I'm in correct place!

    I survived for years without even knowing what Xmarks was, and, I am sure that you could manage, as well. Unless, your bookmarks change, drastically, every day, all one needs is a manual backup. But, I can see the convenience of Xmarks. As of Dec.2, 2010, Last Pass has acquired Xmarks, and it will be continued. It is not clear if it continue as a Pro version, i.e. with a fee.

    Since Xmarks went dead, I use Firefox Sync: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10868/
    It's good to know, that Firefox Sync is a built-in feature in coming Firefox 4.
    I use FF4 beta on my laptop and FF Sync works really nicely between my desktop and a laptop.

    Broni, Xmarks is NOT dead [yet]. Its alive & kicking at www.xmarks.com

    I have been using both Xmarks & Firefox Sync for sometime now, but Xmarks works on any browser once you have logged into the site which is a big plus. No need to download/install anything.

    Yup, Broni & rsinfo you are both correct. XMARKS is open but its closing down on 1/11/2011/. I'm going to try out Firefox Sync & hopefully it is good as XMARKS which I thought was awesome!!!! Thanks people, always someone on this awesome site ready to help :))

    I'm a representative of Xmarks, and just want to point out that it will no longer be shutting down in January.

    Please see our blog for additional details: http://blog.xmarks.com/.

    Thanks,
    Amber

    Yes, 90% of the features for the Xmarks plugin will remain free. The Premium subscription covers the mobile apps and a few advanced features: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php.
