I know that Firefox plugins exist to synchronize settings between machines, but all such plugins I have seen require you to synchronize your settings to some 3rd party server. Is anyone aware of such a plugin that:

  1. You can synchronize to a server of your choice, including your home server, and
  2. You can choose which settings or which bookmarks to synchronize to each machine, keeping NSFW bookmarks off your work machine, and
  3. Synchronize settings between machines that are not on the same LAN or WAN

When I last used it, Mozilla Weave was a slow unreliable flaky and busted piece of software. It may have improved in the past few months but in my experience:

  1. Their servers were constantly down
  2. It's slow
  3. Firefox is always waiting to quit because sync is happening

Since then I've switched to Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks). It does support syncing to your own server. Documentation is here.

+1 for Xmarks. I only use it for bookmarks at the moment though. Have two profiles, one for work and another for Home and it's been working well so far. – Jonathon Watney May 2 '09 at 3:04

You can use mozilla weave and configure it to use your own server.
