You never want to lose all of those Web pages you have spent years and years bookmarking. Losing all those important URLs could lead to headaches, stress and maybe even death. Ok, so maybe I have never heard of anybody actually dying because of this - but it could happen. Well, to save your life and your favorite, I have found for you the GMarks extension for Firefox.
Here is a little more about the GMarks extension from the developer.
GMarks helps you sync and manage your bookmarks with Google Bookmarks. Use the sidebar to manage and access your bookmarks, the GMarks toolbar for fast access to important bookmarks, and the Quick Search to find bookmarks like the Google Desktop. Nest your labels with a customizable separator in the sidebar or the toolbar.
GMarks allows for easy migration to and from Google Bookmarks. You can import your Firefox bookmarks to Google or export your Google Bookmarks to a bookmarks.htm file. GMarks is completely separate from your Firefox bookmarks and does not remove or hide them.
This Firefox extension is for versions 1.5 and up of the browser. To pick it up and use it yourself, all you need to do is download it from the Mozilla Add-ons Web site.

A much quicker, “set and forget” option to do the same thing would be to use the official “Google Browser Sync” extension from Google. It’s completley automatic. While it takes a few minutes to set itself up on each new computer, it’s well worth the wait. It’s fantastic for people like me who own multiple computers and also happen to reformat a lot. All my cookies, bookmarks, and even saved passwords are exactly the same whether I’m on my laptop or desktop computer. You can get it from http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/.

I’d like to find some kind of freeware which lets you build your own directory with topics you set yourself and can keep updated. Not a web bookmarking service but something you can load on your own domain and update from there as well. I would like to find software to help update and set it up rather than working with HTML code in the raw. It would be kind of a chore to keep it organized this way.
