Looks like the best solution is to add SM's bookmarks.htm page to IE as a Favorite. Easy to access and always updated by SM. A pretty good idea ... but don't forget that if you want to modify bookmarks entries to do it using SM - Avoid changing by hant the bookmarks.htm file :-) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

After all, this is a Seamonkey support NG. :-) In the meantime, beyond making that available to all the browsers I have installed on my primary working machine, I periodically copy that to a location on my LAN, and that allows all the other browsers access to the same batch of bookmarks.

It gets updated all the time automatically, and you have easy access to it thru IE.

I used to use Plain Old favorites extension for Firefox, but it isn't available for SeaMonkey and it isn't updated for the latest version of Firefox either. I gave up on using the same bookmarks in FX and IE. You can try adding seamonkey to it's install.rdf or contacting the author and see if he wants to support SeaMonkey? http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/ Onno ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
