"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!"

"I am a heavy tabbed browser user. Sometimes I have up to 6 separate windows with different subjects organized by window. Often when browsing, it is a mix of regular sites that I visit like gmail or the new york times and new sites that I navigate to from links at the older sites. In reviewing sites that I normally visit and unique sites, it's difficult for me to go through the history and find how I got to the unique sites because the history tree shows only general information about the frequently viewed sites, and no images that might give me a clue to how I got from one place to another. After enough browsing, I can't trace back to determine how I navigated to each site or when a tab became a new window." | |||
