I didn't realize that I <strong>needed</strong> anything to help organize my bookmarks. This is because I had no idea any of these nifty programs and add-ons existed until VampireRat brought up the query. Thanks everyone! :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21500 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:29:44 +0000 slgraycols 21500@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>None of these are straight out bookmark/favorites organizers but they assist me somewhat in the task.</p> <p>Faview--- <a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/faview.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/faview.html</a> This program allows me to choose the firefox bookmarks that I want to export instead of having to export them all. I In effect, it allowed me to choose and organize my most favorite bookmarks onto one page. I export mine into an html file, then open it in a web editor and gussy it up as the export file isn't too pretty. I then bookmark the edited page. It helps me visually to see groups of bookmarks on a page (as if I were viewing groups of links on someone's website) instead of in a drop down folder in my bookmarks. I also use it to export out certain groups of bookmarks that I want to keep a record of but don't want to keep in my Bookmarks anymore. Faview is a standalone program and works with IE Favorites or Firefox Bookmarks. It's not perfect but it's the only thing I found that let me choose the bookmarks I wanted to export. If anyone knows of another program that performs that function, could you post it here? </p> <p>I love the Bookmark Duplicate Detector listed above, it has saved me from putting so many duplicate bookmarks into my firefox Bookmarks as it lets me know that the bookmark is a duplicate when I am trying to add it. </p> <p>Another one that assists somewhat in my organization is PlainOldFavorites addon for firefox. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/668" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/668</a> It adds a 'Favorites' menu to firefox where you can directly view all your favorites in IE without opening it up (and also, when using with Bookmark Duplicate Detector, it keeps me from adding the same bookmark to IE and firefox which I was prone to do.) I mostly use firefox but I still often run across pages and forms that won't work correctly in firefox and I have to view in IE. Instead of having to open up IE and copy/paste the URL right then and there, I can add it to the 'Favorites' menu (which is located right next to 'Bookmarks' on my firefox menu bar). Then, when I get a chance to go to IE, it's right there on the 'Favorites' menu in IE also.</p> <p>If you are a frequent user of google's services, there is a firefox add-on menu button called Gbutts that lists all the links to google's services in a drop down menu outside of the Bookmarks folder. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3576" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3576</a> That keeps me from having to dig through my Bookmarks folders to get to any google page I'd like, and settings in Gbutts allow you to choose which google links you'd like displayed and how you'd like them displayed. Of course, you might not need this if you use google's toolbar.</p> <p>For those that like visual organization, there's speedial addon <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721</a> which puts previews/thumbnails of your favorites on one page. I didn't care too much for it myself though I thought I would, but others might like it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21481 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 06:27:48 +0000 hosier 21481@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Get the Bookmark organizer here, <a href="http://freeware.intrastar.net/bookmark.htm" rel="nofollow">http://freeware.intrastar.net/bookmark.htm</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21079 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:03:07 +0000 BuBBy 21079@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <blockquote><p>EDIT: I just went to the page, it is for two or more computers running Firefox! Which is why I bookmarked it, I have 3.</p></blockquote> <p>It is also great even if you only have one computer - the way it works as soon as you add, change, or delete a bookmark - it updates a backup on the foxmarks server. So you can go between your PCs or between home and work/school and your bookmarks are always current and up-to-date.</p> <p>No more need to keep updating your bookmarks on a usb thumb disc each time you move to a new PC.</p> <p>Also if your PC crashes and you lose your hard disk - you always have a backup on the foxmarks server. I've also had cause to need to use a public computer on the internet at my local library - I can bring up all my bookmarks through "myMarks" web interface of FoxMarks.</p> <p>"Have bookmarks, will travel". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21076 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 05:57:05 +0000 funkymom 21076@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>thanks bubby. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21073 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 05:34:02 +0000 BuBBy 21073@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.terriadev.com/products/urlbase/">URLBase</a><br /> ^^ wins. no contest. works with any browser.</p> <p>Some Bookmark related extensions that if you un-installed off my PC - I would melt like the wicked witch of the west (Wizard of Oz).<br /> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3880/">Add Bookmark Here 2</a><br /> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3543">Advanced Bookmark Search</a><br /> <a href="http://bookmarkdd.mozdev.org/">Bookmark Duplicate Detector</a><br /> <a href="http://www.plasser.net/code/xul/">Copy All Urls</a><br /> <a href="http://bluweb.com/chouser/proj/mozhack/">Flat Bookmark Editing</a><br /> <a href="http://www.foxmarks.com/">Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer</a></p> <p>To Clean up - best there is ;)<br /> <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm#29" rel="nofollow">http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm#29</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21069 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 05:17:16 +0000 funkymom 21069@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>firefox bookmarks allows you to have a favorite in more than one folder, which is one of the reasons my bookmarks are so out of control!<br /> ;D </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2849#post-21064 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 04:55:50 +0000 RichU 21064@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Actually, the Amigo app looks interesting and appears to address another issue for me. It allows you to save a favorite in more than one folder at the same time. It says it also shows you the ports you have open.

For those of us with hundreds or possibly over a thousand favorites, this is a nightmare, as when you are adding to favorites, you might have to page several times to see under which folder category you were adding. I am hoping that one of these suggested bookmark programs will help with this problem.

It is something that interests me, so I thought I'd give it it's own thread so I could find it easier.</p> <p>In a brief mention in another thread, "maiseydaze" said:<br /> Alas, my bookmarks are not always so organized. This was an afterthought, but for now my music folder looks better. I use the Firefox "Organize Bookmarks" feature. It's very nice, as it allows you to input a description and keywords for each link from the properties window. You can also export your bookmarks to a HTML document, Import your IE favorites and sort in a variety of different ways. It's way better than what IE has to offer.</p> <p>Anyone have separate software for this?
