There is an extension you need called Firefox Sync. Just install it and it walks you through the sync process. IIRC you just need to set up an account with a password and choose what to sync. The data is encrypted by YOUR password which they don't know (so they can't peek at your data). Works with Firefox for desktop and Firefox Mobile. It was called Weave when it was in development.
Keep an eye on labs.mozilla.org, cool stuff on there.
I tried to save that thing locally (before they announced they weren't going to take it down). Strangely the Flash file fails to callback to JS if I save it locally, causing audio to be disabled. Not sure why this is... too bad, it would make an awesome Chrome Web App.
Extensions have been in place since 4.0 or 4.1 or something. Unfortunately there are no APIs for PROPER blocking of resources (ie stopping Chrome from fetching them) but there are already extensions that can at least remove them from the DOM while the page is loading. My favorite is AdBlock.
As for NoScript, Chrome has "lite" functionality built in. You can use Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings to turn off JavaScript and Plugins and then whitelist individual sites when the icons pop up on the omnibar, kinda like NoScript. Only problems/differences:
Whitelists apply to PAGES, not to RESOURCES. So an offsite resource is still allowed if the host page is whitelisted. This also applies to frames. So this can't be used to block ad scripts like NoScript.
Plugin whitelist button doesn't always show up, most notably for swfobject.js (IIRC). The problem is that the whitelist icon shows if there is an embed in the page, but some JS will check for the presense of a plugin before placing the embed. With plugins blocked, the browser reports no plugins available, and so the JS never inserts the embed, so the whitelist icon never appears. I've opened a bug on this; JS access of the plugins array show cause the icon to appear.
It's hard to block the whole domain instead of a subdomain (you have to go into the dialogs and do it by hand) and sometimes it doesn't seem to work. Better than earlier versions where it wasn't possible (ytmnd, deviantart, etc were a pain).
Page doesn't automatically refresh when you whitelist a site, plus you have to do JS and plugins separately.
Some things in Chrome break; the JS features of the Developer Tools (Console, script tab) do not work right when the inspected page has JS blocked. Chrome has JS in its FTP directory listings for some reason; this is treated with the whitelist rules, for another unknown reason.
So it could use improvement, but it's not too bad a start. Especially since it's built-in functionality which Firefox doesn't even have. I am looking forward to hopefully APIs that will allow for an extension that can work more like NoScript.
The "beta" indicator is an indication of your update channel... it's not part of the version number. I'm guessing you're on the beta channel and noticed the stable channel got the same version, but yours still says "beta". Am I right?
When travelling to Australia, remember to use drive-level encryption and turn off my laptop before passing through customs. I could also keep a LiveCD in the CD drive to keep customs happy since they'll have something to search.
...fixes have landed in Firefox and Chrome trunks for this problem. Chrome's should be in the beta branch, or at least the dev branch, not sure about Firefox's. The Bugzilla link confirms Firefox has the fix (not sure which Firefox release Gecko 1.9.3 corresponds to... latest 3.6 mayve?
Can't test right now since the test site isn't on my company's firewall whitelist...
Chrome also has NoScript-like functionality. Go to Options > Content Settings and disable JS and plugins, and add exceptions using the addressbar icons that appear when you browse sites you trust.
LucasArts packed Jedi Knight and Dark Forces on Steam with no-CD cracks. Of course back then all you needed to do was copy a single file to your hard drive from the CD.
The idea is the signal is encrypted so it's a bit more complicated. Fortunately these guys have done all the dirty work for you if I understand this correctly.

...from TFS it sounds like MS wants to patent the ability to build this functionality into fonts, rather than the animating functionality itself.
Man I need to get some sleep, for a moment I swore you were talking about George Lucas.
The obvious solution is to give away a Zune HD, and say Apple recommended you do so.
Other than Apple's non-support of Flash on the iPad, this has nothing to do with Apple. This is an Adobe Flash emulator written in JavaScript.
Automatically routes your DNS request to a Google server close to you. So there's no problem here.
I think you misspelled "blend".

Google Images uses frames in a useful fashion, imo.
Some people keep 100s of tabs open. They could come back hours later and see a Gmail login screen and assume they opened it at some point.
Except this would break AJAX applications that need to send heartbeats, such as chat applications.

Didn't everyone in the crew go on to mutate later in that episode? Yeah, I'm sure it was nothing.
Yes, "documents".
