Firefox sync function to achieve favorites roaming

Often find good web sites on the Internet, the common practice is that we use favorites to save their own computer. Because the data for your favorites is stored locally, you cannot use Web site addresses that are stored in favorites on your local computer when you are on a business trip or when browsing a Web site using a browser on someone else's computer. In order to solve this problem, people will choose to use the network favorites, network favorites use more trouble. If you use Firefox to browse, use its "sync" function, not only can solve this problem, it can also sync browser history and other information. This enables the remote roaming of browser-related information.
