Embarrassing confessions (re: Firefox)
Okay, sometimes I just drift along, using tools without understanding all that they can do. (I hate to tell you how long I used Word before I found out about tables—my God! they’re useful. How could I… )
Well, with the discovery of the Live Bookmark, I started to fool around with managing my bookmarks (click Bookmarks, then Manage Bookmarks). Oh, my. I use the Bookmarks Toolbar a lot, so I have all sorts of bookmarks there. In fact, I’ve deleted the names so I could crowd more into the toolbar—I know them by the little icon or (for those who lack an icon) by position. And even then, the BookMarks Toolbar has a dropdown…
So I started playing with it, and I discovered (of course—but wait for it) … folders! Yes, on the toolbar. Somehow I didn’t realize… Anyway, my toolbar now has neat little folders, with the bookmarks arranged within the folders. The folders are very well behaved: you click the folder, and the icons are displayed vertically (and now I’m going to have to add the names back again—or delete and re-add them so they bring their name along again), and they remain there so that you can pick the one you want.
:sigh: So soon old, so late smart…
UPDATE: Still learning: take a look at this Bookmarks tutorial. It includes info on Live Bookmarks. Much better resource than the help system.
UPDATE 2: And, along with Live Bookmarks, you should install the LiveClick extension. Explanation at the link.
