There's a great need for an extension like this for Firefox. But, sadly, the first step, where I would supply "Your email (this is where we'll send your your bookmarks)" isn't accepting any input: "Sorry, there was an error while processing your request. Please try again. If this problem persists, drop us a line at [email protected]." I'll send the fellow an email, but the reviews make it clear this extension is not functional most of the the time. Sad.
