XMarks In Firefox Not Syncing After An Update? - Fixed

For those people using XMarks and NoScript in Firefox who are having issues with the latest update not being allowed to sync here's a solution I've found. Other solutions may be available. I am using Linux Mint 8 XFCE with Firefox 3.6.6.

It tells you to whitelist login.xmarks.com in NoScript and restart Firefox. This is required, but alone doesn't work. You have to temporarily "allow scripts globally", then right click on the XMarks status bar icon and "synchronise now". It will sync just fine after asking you to log in. After that, right click and "forbid scripts globally". After that it will sync as usual.
