Hi!
Starting with the next nightly builds (if nothing goes wrong) and
SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 2 (which will be released soon), SeaMonkey will
include Sync support natively.
Sync started as a Mozilla Labs project called Weave, which was later
renamed to Firefox Sync [1]. In the beginning, Sync was only available
as an add-on [2]. Meanwhile the functionality has been incorporated
directly into what will become Firefox 4. And now SeaMonkey 2.1 will
support it, too, out of the box.
Sync allows you to keep your browsing history, passwords, bookmarks,
preferences and tabs in sync across different devices (computers)
without you having to care about maintaining it (beyond the setup, which
is easy!) or sacrificing security. Everything is encrypted in a way that
makes it accessible to you *and no-one else*. And if you like you can
even use multiple accounts or set up your own Sync server.
While you were already able to use the Sync add-on with SeaMonkey 2.0,
it is only with SeaMonkey 2.1 that you will be able to sync bookmarks
and tabs (thanks to Places-based bookmarks and other changes).
We hope you will like it! :-)
Note: The setup process doesn't fully match Firefox's yet (and that will
be improved before SeaMonkey 2.1 will be released), but it should be
pretty self-explanatory anyway. Especially users of the Firefox Sync
add-on should be familiar with it already.

Greetings,

i installed and ported my bookmarks over from my firefox synch... very
nice...
sean
but after an update or two... SeaMonkey now refuses to pull down the
files from the mozilla server...
will check back in... but still syncing between various firefoxes just
fine...
sean
finally realized sync isn't yet available in 2.0.11 ... so i downloaded
a nightly... first time i've ever extracted a tar into linux... ;>)
sync was flawless right off the bat...
now if i could just figure out how to get an icon back into my menu... :S
