Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that allows you to “continuously synchronize your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers”. Sounds like a good plan as long as you have control over all the computers involved (office and home for example) but isn’t a good solution for public computers or, possibly, the reference desk. I’ll continue to stick with Portable Firefox.
