A Weave will improve the looks of your Firefox to everyone that sees it. Especially when you move it from computer to computer with ease.

This Weave is from the Mozilla Labs and it is designed to weave together your online experiences with the Firefox web browser.

It takes your history, tabs, passwords and bookmarks off into the cloud for you and returns them to you when you need them on any computer running Firefox with the Weave add-on.

Weave is a powerful add-on from the browser maker itself. It isn’t a third party application that is offered by a startup that could go out of business. It is offered by the Mozilla foundation as a solution that will no doubt make it into future versions of Firefox as a feature.

Chrome from Google has this feature built in which has been a successful pitch to get new users. The portability of user data across computers and platforms is ever more important as more users have netbooks, laptops, pc’s and mobile experiences browsing the web.

Where Chrome has failed though is the number of add-ons tht are available for it. Sure, it will have more as it matures but since it is a Google product I doubt that it will get the open source love that techies have showered Mozilla and Firefox with. Firefox has thousands of add-ons that can be used for everything from web development to entertainment.

Weave is a new addition to this ecosystem that will help to ensure that Firefox and the Mozilla Foundation are prepared for the phase of computing.

If you’re using Firefox you should totally get a Weave.
