How do you keep the same bookmarks and form prompts in two different profiles? Well, I first have to say that my plan didn't work--possibly because I installed NoScript into Seamonkey--possibly because Seamonkey writes full pathnames into its prefs.js file. The bookmarks for FX 3.0 are kept in places.sqlite, and the form history is probably kept in the files formhistory.dat and formhistory.sqlite. My next test will probably involve copying the files between my two installations of Firefox (or Seamonkey). If that doesn't work, I'll try roaming profiles.

Since there's always a chance I might be using someone else's PC when I'm out and about, not to mention that I sometimes switch between two PCs while as work and always clear my browser history before signing off, I've found that the best place to keep frequently used bookmarks is in my head. Yes, I can type URLs like: http://www.weather.com/weather/local/76630 from memory. For less frequently used URLs that I'm likely to forget I add the to a "bookmarks" page on the test web server running on my home Debian box. I let web designers take care of the forms(prompts, labels, input fields, etc.) on their sites.

Thanks in advance. there's been some chatter about this on the web. Apparently they (mozilla) decided to turn on this "feature" by default. The feature has always been there, just not turned on by default, or something like that. I can't find a direct reference to it now... A signature.asc Description: Digital signature
