Default Firefox Bookmark Sync to Mobile Me?

Anyone figured out a way to get their Firefox bookmarks to sync with their Mobile Me cloud yet?

I've been using Safari lately, but I'd like to go back to Firefox... unfortunately in the two weeks since I switched to Safari, I've become rather fond of my bookmarks automatically syncing to (and from) my iPhone and MacBook...

(I mean, other than just manually exporting them out of Firefox and importing them into Safari. )

Foxmarks works very well.

Hmmm. Is there a way to get it to sync with Mobile Me, now? The PC/Laptop sync is nice, but it's missing the iPhone sync. I know I can just tether my phone to my iMac at home and sync my bookmarks that way, but over-the-air sync is always better imo.

Thanks, btw. Even without the iPhone bit, this is pretty nice for sure. I've installed it and created an account.

How are you finding Mobile Me? I'm thinking about using it to sync my calendar with iPhone....I've read there's lots of bugs and thus not very reliable.

I have no issues with it. When it first launched, there was a great deal of spottiness, but it's fine now.

Having said that, mind you, I don't use my Calendar to any great extent. I do have a few things, and it seems to work without any hitches. The email, bookmarks (from Safari), contacts, etc all work great.

I find it works great now. When it first was released it did all sorts of infuriating things (deleted a calendar, condensed all my separate calendars into one giant calendar etc.). I gave up on it for a little while and then decided to try it again after some patches. Now I'd have a hard time going without it. I've slowly weened myself off of google calendar and I am sending my gmail messages to Mail, although I can't quite get my work Mail account to grab all my gmail messages for some frustrating reason. It works fine at home, but my work account for whatever reason just won't get certain messages.

Now that I'm using Mail, iCal and Address Book exclusively at home, work and on my iphone it's really worked out great. I love how Mail will sweep my email messages and find appointments for me, so I can just hit a button and it gets sent directly to my Calendar.
