I think I'm gonna bless the day I was told about this site ... already I'm finding my way around and discovering that I'm not such a dummy after all ... there are 'others out there' who like me are having problems ... (small ones of course), but what is even better, is that the 'family' are so willing to help with suggestions and results. Already I've found answers to 2 problems I HAD. ... Thanks CTH, & thanks to those who post results. - margo_s 
Computing News | Google releases Firefox synchronization tool

Google has taken the wraps off of another couple of tasty tidbits, and while one is more or less old hat, the other one is something that can really help major geeks like myself. Let me knock the trivial release out of the way first: a new version of the Google Firefox Toolbar is out, and besides the usual stability improvements and bugfixes, this one adds a few new features.
There's the Safe Browsing feature we discussed last week, an option to set GMail as your default e-mail client for clicked mailto: links, improved RSS feed subscription handling, and a choice of layouts for the toolbar itself. The search box now supports Google Suggest functionality, which is always cool. Most of these things are handled by separate extensions already, but it's quite handy to keep it all together and supported by a well-funded development team.
On to the real news: the Google Browser Sync extension. If you only ever browse from a single computer, this tool is not for you. Move along. But if you're like me, juggling six installed operating systems at last count, each with a separate Firefox installation, this is the best thing since baked bread.
