→Remote Bookmarks
The first post pretty much had it! You should be able to edit your bookmarks through Firefox as per usual, and then an extension or something would silently sync your bookmarks with a server somewhere. This way no matter where you go you could always have your same bookmarks available to you. Also, on the idea of making your bookmarks publicly available, all you would need to do is add a little locked/unlocked button besides each bookmark to control which ones are public and private.
== Relative Bookmarks ==
Provide Relative Bookmark features for '''profile''', '''chrome''', '''cache''' folders, and portable device '''drive letter''' (Firefox Portable), along with user assigned folders to provide better access from any computer and with various portable devices.
profile://. (for the profile folder itself)
profile://.. (up one level from the profile folder)
profile://bookmarks.html (simple way to locate bookmarks)
cache://. (experienced users may move the cache file)
This would greatly simplify locating these folders for user browsing and editing as needed, and identifying the profile actually in use.
=== Additional Relative Bookmarks features for Portability ===
For a presentation file:///c:\big\pathname\file.htm#relativebookmarks might be referred to by that name on the c: drive and on a portable device have part of filename given a shortcut type descriptor
presentation://file.htm#relativebookmarks
which would facilitate use of existing keyword shortcuts
presentation://%S
presentation://chapter4/%S
Note %S currently provides for fragment id (file.htm#id); and %s currently does not.
The means of bookmarking a string reference to a relative tag, so existing
bookmarks remain as they are but could be treated differently on a portable device. Any bookmark starting with c:/site could also be found with the '''portable://''' prefix.
presentation = file:///c:/big/pathname/
portable = file:///c:/site
portable2 = http://www.example.com/user3/
And specifically to address reassignments when using USB devices used in such implementations as Firefox Portable (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable)
w:/ = f:/
although this has now tied up two drive letters, making user's w: to match the automatic assignment of the usb device to f:
The above usage implementation suggestions should not conflict with the use of user defined keyword shortcuts such as of portable:, presentation:, presentation:b, which when used as keyword shortcuts have a space immediately after the shortcut. The use of colons in all my keyword shortcuts has proved very advantageous to me.
