Hi Jack
I know about Google Bar this feature !
I do not like this kind of EXTRA status bars always reducing again some
screen sizes !!
I am very happy with plain FF and some of the really needed
extensions !!! ;-D

How can I access to my bookmarks if on a another system WITHOUT this
Google Bar ???
Can I go to a "My Google Bar" Website and acess from there like with "My
Foxmark" ??

I am using on 3 OS'es and many PC's and Foxmarks solves exactly what I
need:
Permanent sync'ing when starting and ending the browser sessions:
Perfect !

Cheers, svobi
