Firefox Addon of the Week Siphon

In the wake of the quasi-departure of Xmarks (seriously; is it alive? Gone? Going somewhere? Dead? Fading out? What?), it's nice to see that other enterprising developers have taken the idea of cross-computer Firefox synchronization and really ran with it.

I'm speaking, of course, of a particular add-on called Siphon. It's currently beta-testing, but it unlocks a whole pie full of usefulness for anyone who's as add-on addicted as those of us over at Maximum PC.Here's the deal. Instead of synchronizing your bookmarks a la the helpful(ly departed) Xmarks, Siphon focus on your add-ons--and just your add-ons. So long as you have Siphon installed on any instance of Firefox you're running across any system you have access to, the add-on will itself work to duplicate and synchronize the rest of your extensions across all of your Firefox browsers. Simply put, Siphon is an awesome tool for ensuring that every little third-party feature you've installed into the browser stays that way no matter where you're running Firefox from.
