Read It Later and Foxmarks Syncing

Nate Weiner - Posted in Uncategorized, , ,

Currently, when using Read It Later and Foxmarks together, you must take a few steps to prevent issues in syncing.

Since your reading list is saved in a normal bookmark folder, Foxmarks will sync this folder.  If you are using RIL’s built in syncing at the same time, problems will arise, such as duplicate entries.

  1. Now foxmarks let you choose which bookmark folder you want to sync, so just exclude Read It Later folder from syncing lot.

  4. Brett: In Firefox 3, your bookmarks are automatically backed up.

    Go to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore

    You will see a list of backups, with their respective dates. Choose which one you want to restore. Just keep in mind, any new bookmarks you’ve added since then will be deleted. If you added some bookmarks before restoring your backup, you can go ahead and export them as an HTML file to use for a later import. This is done via Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
