Title: FireFox Favourites Organisation
Post by: Fineus on May 21, 2005, 07:43:11 am

Well, I've made the leap to FireFox which is all good and well. Except for one thing.

The way the favourites section is organised. With Internet Explorer you could open up the favourites folders in an explorer window and edit them like files, but not with FireFox which makes things a lot more tedious.

I wanted to know if there's any way to treat FireFox favourites like IE favourites.. or if I'm missing the folder they're kept in?

I suspect you're stuck with the bookmark manager. Firefox bookmarks are stored in an HTML file in your profile folder.

IMHO it's a lot better the way it is - BTW you *can* manually edit your bookmarks - just export it to some place and then you can edit the htlm file in conventional (*notepad) manners.

Click Bookmarks and click Manage Bookmarks.  Its like IE's Organize Favorites only better.

If I need to edit a bookmark, I'll just right-click the link choose properties and edit. Drag 'n drop works well enough for single files.

Heavy duty stuff == the manager.

/ If that's what you meant.

I guess it'll have to do - thanks guys. I rather prefer the explorer interface for editing files like that but it's better than nothing :)
