Google Bookmarks Firefox Extension Updated

I love using Google Bookmarks because they allow me to keep my information private and at the same time I can access them wherever I go. Google made accessing the bookmarks easy for Internet Explorer users because they put it on the Google Toolbar but Firefox users were not so lucky.
