I never suggested USB drives are too big to carry around. I just tend to occasionally forget them, and then my home and work firefox settings get out of sync. Also there's the annoyance of having to sync profiles on the computer and the drive when I arrive at them and when I leave them.
And yes, I know about portable firefox, but I can't really deal with how slow that is.
To be truthful, I find it more and more annoying to cart a usb drive around when everything I want should be on the cloud.
The beauty of google browser sync is that you didn't need this. In addition to the bookmark saving ability, there was the active tab saving ability. So I could go from home to work and not have to worry about carting a usb drive around, and still have the same exact browsing experience.
*weep*. This was the one extension keeping me from using firefox3.
