| 332003 | 2005-03-08 22:34:00 | I'm thinking of trying Firefox. Currently use Opera which I like. I assume Firefox has tabbed browsing. But does it also have the ability to search favourites/bookmarks? I have about 400 so searching helps a lot. |

| 332004 | 2005-03-08 22:43:00 | It does indeed, when you open the bookmarks there is a search bar placed conveniently right at the top, as you type in the letters it starts whittling them down. | Metla (12) | ||

| 332006 | 2005-03-09 01:19:00 | I have an ongoing problem with the processor running and reinstals have not solved it. An upgraded BIOS has helped. I'm wondering if Opera is the cause so I'll try Firefox. | Winston001 (3612) | ||

| 332009 | 2005-03-09 02:58:00 | There are 2 ways of accessing the bookmarks within firefox,and I think the second way isn't on the taskbar by default. The first is on the top most taskbar and is in the form of the word "Bookmarks"...This is where you bookmark new pages,sort the bookmarks and export them.You can also select a bookmark from here,....I presume this is the method you have been using. The second way of doing it is via the icon taskbar,It takes the shape of a book,and when clicked the "book" opens and the bookmarks are displayed down the ledt hand side of the screen with the search bar at the top. If this isn't on your taskbar,right click it, choose customise and a new window will open with alll the extra icons you can place there, You select the ones you want and drag them to where you want them situated. I normally drag up the new tabs and bookmark icon on a fresh install..... |

| 332011 | 2005-03-09 04:01:00 | I'm thinking of trying Firefox. Currently use Opera which I like.Nooooooo Winston, please don't leave me!!! :eek: How could you possibly even think about ditching Opera; it is the Rolls Royce of web browsers! I assume Firefox has tabbed browsing. But does it also have the ability to search favourites/bookmarks? I have about 400 so searching helps a lot.Have yet to try Metla's trick but one of the biggest advantages of using Opera is the handling of its bookmarks. Searching them is just sooo easy. I have an ongoing problem with the processor running and reinstals have not solved it. Have you tried the latest version, Beta 8? If not, I would highly recommend that you do as they have made some quite big changes. It will install into its own Opera Beta 8 folder so you can still keep your existing version in the meantime. |
