Firefox didn’t experience tremendous growth, however; it merely stood its ground while Google Chrome took the market share away from IE. “This appears to be happening because Google’s Chrome is stealing share from Internet Explorer while Firefox is mainly ma

It looks like cross-browser, bookmark syncing service Xmarks won’t be going out of business after all.
Just over a month after announcing that the service would be closing its doors and shutting down operations come January 2011, the company has announced that it is in the final stages of selling Xmarks to a new owner who is focused on keeping the tool running smoothly.
Xmarks announced the news on its official blog, noting that exact details can’t be revealed just yet, but that the service is alive and “things are on track for a ‘new and improved’ Xmarks.”
