2. Okay, once you install it and restart pc, next time you are on a link
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 03:07 PM by henslee
or a website, all you have to do is open your bookmarks, scroll down to
the folder you want to stick new bookmark in and a pop up comes up which you just have to "roll your mouse over "add bookmark here" and poof, its now saved to that folder. No more clicking and multiple steps. Awesome time saver. I loaded this and the Bugmenot ext. which is good too.

8. Yes, this extension will work fine
on the Mac OSX Firefox.

Most extensions should work on all builds of Firefox because they're written in XUL (Javascript at heart). Heck, Firefox's whole front end is pretty much Javascript.

5. You don't need to restart your PC
All you need to do is closeout Firefox and start it again. :-)

12. I'll sign on
I push Firefox so much because it makes my life so easier. I have all but a couple of my clients using Firefox now and every single one is amazed and wonders how they did without it before. I don't have to put up with questions like "Why am I getting pop-up ads on my site?" or "How come I can never access my site?" The answers were almost invariably, "Because your PC is spyware and virus infested and your Internet Explorer has been hijacked by half a dozen different nasties."

Anyway, I'll sign on but I'm not sure if the Admins will approve it because it's a rather narrowly focused group.

10. My installation attempt failed
I got an error message saying that it was incompatible with my Firefox version, which is 1.0, saying that the bookmark add-on is only compatible with version 0.9 to 0.1. What's that all about? Isn't 1.0 the newest?

thanks

14. 1.0 is the newest
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 03:25 PM by salvorhardin
However, the next previous version was 0.10.

This may be of some assitance:
