Can anyone confirm if the browser support xmarks?

And you need to enter account details. So it won't work.
Maybe Weave will..

I've read reports of weave working. If thats the case you could have weave and xmarks installed on one browser and sync using that (unless you don't use a firefox browser anywhere else)

Xmarks is a "must have" plugin for me on my desktop and laptop machines. I will try it out when my N900 arrives. (That may be end of December according to Dell.) I hope Xmarks works. If it doesn't, there is a good chance we can encourage the developer to fix any issues.
Maybe someone with an N900 now can report the exact problem to the Xmarks forums/support.
Weave is also an option, of course. But I will try Xmarks on the N900 first, as soon as I get mine.

zerojay and qole have had some success installing Firefox plug-ins in the Maemo 5 browser and avoiding the configuration problem by copying working configurations from other machines. That might work in this case also.
The question is if you really want your desktop bookmarks on your N900 or that you want special ones for mobile use..

Xmarks is sh*tty anyway, since they collect your bookmarks data for data mining. And manipulates your Google results by default. Just use Mozilla's own Weave, it does the same thing, better.

Xmarks works pretty well for me. No complaints.
