I looked around but couldn't find the answer for this,
Is there anyway to sync all private data from firefox in your PC to MicroB?
i.e : passwords, bookmarks
I don't want to use firefox maemo cause it's still not as good as MicroB..
thanks
Not exactly. microB is based on gecko engine, and - possibly - older builds of Firefox, with some patches by Nokians. Thats why *some* addonds may be - with much work - made to work with microB, like addblock was.
Ho ever, it's *not* firefox, and it's not compatible with firefox builds. Also, it's *not* Open source (microB), so we can't upgrade it.
If anyone feels adventurous, got infinite ammount of free time, and is sure she/he can handle everything, that one may try creating Open Source Micro Browser for N900, based on new firefox source code
I have a problem to install other addons too like greasemonkey (neither from the repositories nor from xpi) which others have reported working. Sync does the same thing, installs and then after restart it's nowhere to be found. I was wondering if I installed it on a desktop firefox 3.5 and moved the whole addons folder to the N900 if it would work.

I see.. Oh well guess for now i have to enter it manually
On iOS, they have "firefox home", I think it's a good intermediate between firefox and microb : you can view/launch your synced bookmarks and your opened tabs from other synced computer.
You can also use the Xmarks extension on your desktop firefox; then open the page of Xmarks mobile on Microb. But, as previously stated, no passwords.
I seem to remind from these forums, though, that someone got good results in copying the passwords file from his desktop install of firefox to the same place for microb.
LastPass' (the company thjat bought Xmarks) extension supports Fennec, but as all mobile ("non-desktop") versions of the extension are only enabled when using a premium account, it will cost you a bit per year.
