Firefox Sync (formerly Mozilla Weave) is a Firefox add-on, which can synchronize bookmarks, browsing history, preferences, passwords, filled forms and last 25 opened tabs, across multiple computers. It securely keeps user data on Mozilla servers and automatically sync your data with other computers. It uses both Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit key and the asymmetric cryptography – RSA with 2048-bit key to secure your data. The encryption is so strong that no third party, not even Mozilla can access user information. You can easily configure the devices using the account name, password and the sync key.
