What bookmark syncing tools do you guys use?

I'm looking for a tool that has these (or similar) functions:
- sync online/auto update
- folders (groupings?)
- firefox compatible (don't NEED chrome.. would be nice)
- profiles.. eg: I can set a computer as a 'work' computer, and it'll only download the 'work' set of bookmarks

anyone use something like this?

Have you looked at Diigo (http://www.diigo.com)? It used be called Furl. I use it and it looks like it will do almost everything you want.

I use Xmark (search add-on in FF). It doesn't have the profile function, but again, you can have multiple accounts (it's free) and all other function you mentioned.

I have one account for personal PC, one for share PCs (notebook for me/gf) and one for work. I just organize them once in a while as I rarely encounter new sites that I need to add nowadays.

I've been using lists to sort things out. Create a list, and then you can add your bookmarks to them. I'm not certain if it has profiles. I'm learning to do more with Diigo as I go along. You may find the sticky notes handy.

i've been manually copy/pasting bookmarks when i was using IE lol.
now im on chrome and it does it auto. Love it, I find myself supporting more and more Google products, soon will be nexus one as well. Heck if google built houses i'd prolly end up buying it haha. Not a google fanboy but i find their stuff so convenient and accessible.

Not exactly related, but if you want web browsing sync, I'd suggest installing Last Pass along with XMark.

Truly the last password you will ever need to remember. The add-on for Firefox is more than awesome, and you can have highly randomized pass for new sites you register (almost impossible to crack it on bruteforce)
