Xmarks Sync is excellent but is closing down. How can I move to Firefox Sync from Xmarks Sync without loss of what is currently synchronised or any other damage unknown? I use two or three computers almost all the time (foolish, I know, but that's history)!

Xmarks would have synced the data on your computers so they already have the latest bookmarks from all of your computers. There is no migration of data from Xmarks to Firefox Sync, the data is on your computer.

You just need to install Firefox Sync then set up an account. It will then sync the bookmarks, passwords, history tabs and preferences on your computers.
