speaking purely of bookmark sync and FF3 compared to FF2... is that googles browser sync works(ed) with FF2 and well... rocked.. completely... but when FF3 came out google also discontinued support (and possibly service) for the browser sync... that saddened me greatly... this message has no real value.. i felt i could flame a bit.. haha.. so you guys can just skip over it..
