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).

Dumped the entire thing a while back and went to Maxthon...

After trying a few others with little success, I use the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer extension. It's been pretty good so far.

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.

Gosh no, but I'm still running version 1.0.2. Space and memory being a big consideration on this old Dell P2 box.
