Can Firefox do what Chrome does?

Chrome stole my heart and soul with one wonderful, incredible and reliable piece of tech that I adore beyond belief. This one little ability made me ditch FireFox with no second thoughts, no questions and I have never looked back. Now though, the college I am going to seems to have a lot of problems on their website with Chrome and they do not support Chrome. I have to bring up FireFox to use their websites to their fullest potential. If FireFox can manage this one ability, I would consider making the switch back permanently.

Chrome can sync with your gmail account and save your favorites and even theme settings and share them out to any computer you sync your chrome account with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ability. I LOVE not having to worry about two or three different computers with different favorite lists and all. Is there any ability or extension in FireFox that can accomplish this same task?

Signature??

    The Firefox 4 beta can do this also.

    School websites are notoriously poorly coded. Honestly, just boot up Firefox when you've gotta do the few tasks necessary on the site and use the browser you're set up comfortably with for the rest of your time. You're not going to find an extension for Firefox that integrates so well and seamlessly with Google services as the native functionality of a Google browser.

    Xmarks is fantastic and does cross-browser syncing. Bookmarks, history, open tabs, passwords, it does those all on Firefox, IE 7/8, Chrome, and Safari.

    By far my favorite extension I have found. (Even moreso than Adblock or the like)
