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.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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.

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 :)
