Google Notebook for Firefox

This is a great way to clip parts of web pages and store them in various "notebooks". The "mini notebook" has a link in your browser's lower right hand corner for quick access. When you highlight part of a web page and click "clip", the notebook copies that part of the web page and automatically adds the title and URL for that web page. A tour of this extension is available here. You can make an single notebook publicly available as I did here. (Note: That notebook only contains some of my links from the NJECC presentation.) Though you need to download the extension to "clip" parts of web pages, you can log in and access your notebooks from any browser.

Google Browser Sync

"Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions."

Foxmarks Bookmark Sychronizer for Firefox

"If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you'll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. As a bonus, log in to my.foxmarks.com from any computer anywhere to access your bookmarks.
