In this post there is one "new feature": * Classic mode for users who just want simple buttons without the overhead of sync Is it like classic "del.icio.us buttons" extension?

Now that I think about it, the service was probably DoS because of lots of FF3 users hammering the servers to sync their bookmarks. P.S. The delicious extension no longer replaces your normal bookmarks. It hasn't for quite some time now. The bookmarks seem to be syncing correctly now.
