"I was trying to show a useful tutorial to someone but I forgot the link. It wasn't good enough for my bookmarks and I visit about 100 sites a day. It would have been nice to tag the tutorial in my history as a tutorial and give it a star ranking. I think tagging and star ranking can get rid of the mess that bookmark organizing is entirely. I also have the problem of never wanting to close a useful tab because I know I will lose it. I sometimes put off shutting down my system just because I want that one site open and I don't want to lose it."

"The present firefox bookmark files are really hard to manage for normal users. If you search it on google, you will get an answer with a long location address (for the bookmark files) from your root path on the hard disk. What makes the matter worse, firefox 2.0 and firefox 3.0 use different formats to save the bookmarks. Firefox 2.0 uses a more static, page-like organization, while firefox 3.0 uses a database based organization that facilitates bookmark searching. But all these are too difficult for normal users to figure out. I remember that once my system crashed, and I had a firefox upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 on the system. I trusted my experience and backed up the bookmark file under the 'favorites' folder. After I reinstalled my system, it turned out that I had only backed up the 2.0 version bookmark file that could no longer be used in firefox 3.0. And the real version 3.0 bookmark file was stored in a totally different place. What a frustrating experience!" [[User:Myu|Myu]] | |||
