Sometimes, for whatever reason, those of us who spend most of our time working on computers may need to use another machine. This may be due to technical difficulties or, we may be working from home or even using a laptop whilst on the train or away on business. The trouble is that we tend to have a particular machine that’s used more regularly, and because of this, it’s probably equipped with all the tools you need, not just the programs we regularly use, but important bookmarks we need for specific websites.
Ever tried accessing a particular web page from a different computer without the URL? It’s almost impossible to remember exact web addresses when you’re using a number of different sites on a daily basis.
Xmarks (was Foxmarks) is an ideal solution for such a scenario. This version of Foxmarks designed to work with Internet Explorer and enables a user to access their bookmarks from any machine they are using via my.foxmarks.com, which constantly keeps your bookmarks synchronised whilst running in the background. You can manage your bookmarks from any computer, and in doing so, enables you to work as efficiently on any machine you happen to be using whether in the office or on the move.
Note that this latest version will enable you to synchronise your bookmarks and passwords between Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
Do you agree?
Compatibility with Firefox version
You didn't say in the article whether Firefox bookmarks backed up via Foxmarks can be imported into IE.
That would be useful for people who choose Firefox for their home PC but are compelled to use IE on a corporate PC.

Upgrade with no option not to have additional features
Foxmarks is becoming Xmarks, an upgrade with features I don't want to install.
I have removed foxmarks

Compatability with FF V3
As FF3 uses a different method to store its bookmarks from previous versions you don't say if it is compatible with all or just some versions of FF
