Ubuntu One bookmarks sync requirements & notices

IMPORTANT: Ubuntu One bookmarks is still a public beta feature. This means you may experience some issues along the way that will need to be addressed in a future update. Please take that into consideration before installing and using. We appreciate your feedback on Ubuntu One software and helping to make it better!

Currently, you need to be running Karmic (9.10) and Firefox 3.5.x (which is packaged with Karmic). Please submit any bugs to the Bindwood Launchpad project. Thank you.

Install the Bindwood Firefox plug-in

  1. Follow the Ubuntu One software install instructions (enter bindwood in place of software-package-name)

  2. Open Firefox

  3. When prompted to allow Bindwood access to the keyring click Always Allow
    Allow Bindwood to access the keyring

Bindwood is now successfully installed and your bookmarks are stored in the Ubuntu One CouchDB database. Note that the initial launch of Firefox with Bindwood installed will take a little time and make Firefox unresponsive until the bookmarks are stored in the Ubuntu One CouchDB database.

If you have an Ubuntu One account setup on your computer, bookmarks will now sync with any other computers hooked up to the same Ubuntu One account. This synchronization occurs every ten minutes.
