I have been trying Xmarks for a short while and am upgrading to FF12. Can FF12 sync directly (automatically) with IE.

I use IE rarely, usually when some program forces a call to it. I'm more concerned with moving the IE favorites I might create than FF bookmarks to IE.

I dislike the idea of have to go though the export/import process over and over.

No, Firefox won't sync IE Favorites.

Plain Old Favorites is one way to handle that.

Xmarks is another.

ideato - quit your whining. My posting was made 36 seconds after yours - I didn't see your posting when I started mine. Plus, why post a link about "importing" when the OP is talking about "sync"? That process would just give him a lot of duplicates - repeatedly.
