I have over 900 bookmarks organized into over 100 folders, subfolders, sub-subfolders, etc. [Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager] meets my needs better than it did in SeaMonkey 2.0.x primarily because the old version was too buggy. If you select [Bookmarks > File Bookmark], you must then select the Save button on the New Bookmark popup dialogue. The new bookmark is then entered at the bottom of the bookmarks, which was the same behavior that existed with the old version. The only feature missing was something from Netscape 4. I could create pseudo-bookmarks (called shortcuts) that pointed to real bookmarks. If I changed the real bookmark or any of its shortcuts, the change would automatically propagate to the others. Thus, I could have a bookmark for Medicare under both a Health folder and a Federal Government folder; if I had to change the URI on one, the other would get the same change. -- David E.
