I'll second Foxmarks. It makes it easy to keep the same list on multiple machines. On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 3:28 PM, Tony B [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Some are still around but many could use pruning.

Anyway, I wanted to say I use the frreeware Foxmarks (http://www.foxmarks.com/) and it's handy for things like this, or if you use multiple computers.

[CGUYS] Firefox bookmarks etc (XP)
My company laptop was just replaced. The installer did not get any of my Firefox bookmarks or other settings. Where are they stored in XP so I can get them?

Check out MozBackup. A great tool for backing up and restoring Firefox and Thunderbird. You can just copy the Mozilla subdirectories, but this free utility is easy to use.

Re: [CGUYS] Firefox bookmarks etc (XP)
Excellent - that got me right there. I now have my bookmark file that goes back almost to 1990. (I do occasionally copy bookmarks to my computers, but was expecting the installer to migrate it all.)

Re: [CGUYS] Firefox bookmarks etc (XP)
Run a file search for bookmarks.html. There may be more than one copy on your machine. If so, look at the file size for all of them and pick the largest one (or all that are more than a few KB). On your new machine, back that file up regularly. You can open that file as a regular html file and use it if you like.

Slashdot, other tech sites, sw/hw vender sites. Also company sites on the intranet that have stupidly long urls. Thank you, Mark Snyder -Original Message- Excellent - that got me right there.

Re: [CGUYS] Firefox bookmarks
i only have 2.16 Ff doesn't find any updates. FF2.x is similar to 3.x, except commands for sorting are in the View menu instead of attached to buttons. Download, http://www.mozilla.com/. For plug-ins/Add-ons, support, forums, see links at top of page. Organize bookmarks in the sidebar, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Organizing+Bookmarks.

FF2 is at the end of the road. FF3 Isn't an update to FF2 it is the next step. Works fine and most of my favorite plugins are working fine.

Re: [CGUYS] Firefox bookmarks
If you were asking this question 5 years ago it might make some sense. But FF3 stores it's bookmarks right where they belong, and it's got a great built in organizer. I suspect that, instead of learning how to use the new organizer, you're trying your best to operate the same way you did years ago, and not surprisingly, it's not working.
