Hat tip to HardOCP for this.
Anyone else have a problem with Firefox and bookmarks?

Firefox lost ALL of my bookmarks at one point.
I am open to any suggestions about other browsers, because I'm not too pleased with this one.

"Rather than rush it to market - we'd prefer to spend the time it takes to get it right," he wrote. Schroepfer said that it was a difficult decision, but it would ensure that when released, Places would work as Mozilla intended it to. Very smart.

I have a copy of Bon Echo that didn't automatically bring over one of my saved groups of tabbed windows.
Otherwise, no, save for they don't move right within the Bookmark editing environment and the Bookmarks take a long time to appear with the number I have (in the current Firefox).
To: Darkwolf377
Profile bug. The bookmarks are still there in your profile directory as bookmarks.html.
Losing Places for 2.0 isn't a big deal--if it ain't ready, it ain't ready, and 3.0 will be the version with major changes (Cairo backend, Places, etc)

No I have never had any issues with the bookmarks. My only problem is Firefox eating up to 180MB of RAM when running. I have been to lazy to look for why it does this, but I do take a performance hit because of it.

I wasn't aware they were looking at rewriting the bookmarks engine for the 2.0 release. I think it's a bit silly of the Moz team to drop this rewrite because they weren't going to make some future "release date".
IMO, they should just work it until it's finished, then release it when it's ready. Who really cares about FireFox's release schedule?
I don't particulary look forward to major releases anyway, as they will most likely hose by extensions in some way until I fix them for version compatability. FF already does everything I want.

Mozilla has decided to strip out a major new feature from Firefox 2.0 in order to ensure that the update meets a Q3 2006 release target The difference is MS strips out functionality *and* moves back release dates..

I haven't personally, but troubles with bookmarks is one of the single biggest long running complaints on their "help" forum.

Avant Browser is the best there is and I have tried them all. I use it all the time and have had no problems.
To: JoJo Gunn
Darn. I was all excited, then discovered it was a windows program.
