How does that work for you? I'm still on version 2 I believe but it works pretty well for me.

Originally posted by kfennessyAbout 7 MB, all sorted now, had to download it a second, and quicker time, because for some reason wouldn't work first time.

Interesting set up they've got, haven't done much with it, but it transferred all my bookmarks well, but most of my add ons won't be working, so I'll have to be waiting until they get updated.

How do you transfer bookmarks? Every time my Firefox updates, I lose all my bookmarks! It is very troublesome to try and remember all the pages I had bookmarked. Would you suggest any add-ons also? I never seem to have any good ones and they end up just slowing down my system.
K...needs help!

Here are a couple of links that I quickly found though:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Firefox
- a big list of possible problems that I often consult
And from this I found:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
- these ones talks about bookmarks, being able to import and export them from a backup location.
I actually just because I found this, set myself up a backup of my bookmarks, so it's not hard to do.
Hope that helps. π

Add ons, (which work with firefox 3):
Download statusbar
Greasemonkey
Image zoom
Resizable textarea
Searchbar autosizer
Seemingingly non-working but still cool add ons:
TinyUrl creator
Linkification
(damn, I hope they update these)
Mouse gestures
Fasterfox
Adblock plus

The best thing about Firefox 3 (in my opinion) is that it passes the acid test.
As do Opera 9 and the upcoming Internet Explorer 8. Web development for
the major desktop environments is about to become a whole lot easier and
way more fun. π
