Mozilla Labs has just released a new version 0.4.0 of Weave which now also handles preferences and has OpenID support.

In short, Weave syncs your bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords, tabs and preferences securely encrypted through Mozilla servers to any other Firefox or Fennec instance you might be using.

Though I'm a big fan of Google Chrome (it is faster than Firefox by miles), something like this if it works well might just persuade me to give Firefox another chance. Though since Chrome extensions are also on the way, I wouldn't be surprised if some basic syncing capability would come up pretty soon for it as well.
