Use a portable version of Firefox on both Macs and PCs
I was unable to get the sync script to work properly. I opened it in Text Edit and changed all instances of "DRIVE" to the name of my USB Key, but when I double-clicked on it, it just opened in Text Edit again. As instructed, I opened Get Info and tried to make Terminal the default app with which to open it, but could not as Terminal was greyed out. Trying to open it with "./" prefix didn't open it either. After some time, I tried "sh" command and that got it to go, but the feedback in the Shell wasn't pretty, showing the items of my home folder along with Starting Firefox!, Done!, Finishing Firefox! and Done Syncing!.

Should this have copied over my Bookmarks as part of the Profile information? The bookmark.html files in both the Mac-Specific and the PC-specific profiles are generic. I went ahead and copied the bookmark file out my Mac FireFox profile and stuck it in both profiles. That works, but it's not as automated as I'd like. Not knowing any Scripting language, can anyone tell me what I'd have to write into the script to get it to grab my bookmark.html file every time I "sync" my USB frash drive?

I'm not sure why your bookmarks didn't go from one to the other. I set mine up in Windows first, then when I ran the sync script on the Mac side, my bookmarks were there just as in Windows. I can't honestly say I've added any bookmarks while in Mac to see if they carried over to Windows.

I made some modifications to this for ease of use. |
