Backup Firefox bookmarks & See Passwords Encrypted using Xmarks addon

You never know when your computer goes wrong at the least suitable moment. Over the years the bookmarks stored in my browser have been increasing. Most browsers love Firefox for many reasons, especially for its feature to store usernames and passwords.
Firefox offers an excellent ‘Add-on’ which allows you to export and import saved passwords. Such exported data comes handy when Firefox crashes or you want to set-up a new Firefox on another machine, e.g. laptop. The setting up of a replacement computer may take several days before you remember what needs to be re-installed and configured.The best thing about this application is that we can see saved usernames and passwords if we forgot them.
Definitely, one may want to have a backup of saved passwords. But, Firefox does not offer any such built-in option. I am thankful to the synchronization process where you have a unique opportunity to immediately back up the changes in the bookmarks or stored passwords.
The XMarks application offers an excellent solution for all these problems which was previously called as Foxmarks which is a Firefox ‘Add-on’ offering you with automatic backup of your Firefox bookmarks along with online access to it. It provides seamless bookmark synchronization between your computers. It will sync across browsers too. There is an option to adjust the synchronization settings by clicking on the icons at the top of the Firefox window. The bookmark (and optionally password) data is securely stored and backed up on our servers.
It automatically backups the bookmarks, history, cookies and passwords. Besides, you can either check out the backups you have made on the Xmarks website or else share them. The restore process is very simple as I could always access my bookmarks and import them to my new laptop.
One can forget about daily plans for backups as data recovery is very simple and sensitive data will be encrypted. This allows you to select which items will be backed up and what will be encrypted. This Add-on is very useful while using multiple computers, or multiple Firefox on same computers or even going to re-install the Firefox.
The saved passwords can be seen by going to Tools > Options > Security and hitting the “Saved Password” button. Finally, click the “show password” option.Sync is an optional Xmarks feature that is available online.
