I use different kind of systems for bookmarks.
(1)I created a home page with links (=”Bookmarks”) and forms from most used things (google, wikipedia, flickr, etc….)
Sometimes i want to visit a forum in a certain place, it’s very fast to use your html bookmark-page(s) to reach that nestled location.

(2)I use the normal bookmarkmanager (in firefox and seamonkey – i hate it that in firefox you cant open folders as standalone subfolder-windows like in the windows os, in seamonkey you can do that).

(3) for (easy portable) bookmarks i create common folders and drag and drop the icon next to the address bar in that folder to create easy portable links there – most of the time that are links of posts from forum threads where i posted something that i wanted to watch.
Folder structure is here:

…/forum/2010.08
in an easy time order… – i won’t get a mess, who looks in very very old threads? – they can be deleted or archived…

But too much menues can be annyoing (at least if you can’t open them in separate subfolder windows like in firefox) – the start menue in windows: i don’t use it – i use it passive through the cool program: Luanch – just type what you want to start and it finds it.

I am sorry I love Firefox, but the new smart firefox bookmark system completely sucks & it sucks so bad that I have switched back to version 2.0.0.14 with updates turned off because the new one is **** atleast to me. This new firefox bookmarking system is for disorganized people that are to slow to learn how to create a simple folder. They need to give someone a choice, like a selection to choose if you want this new system or the old one & I for one like the old one because the new one is very buggy & it takes forever to do anything & the old one is fast & it also picks the right folder & works like it should & like it use to.

I repair systems & build new systems & I am sorry my customers have even been asking me to put the old one on it because the new one keeps messing up there bookmarks & I second that & third that,they need to fix it or I guess atleast I will not be updating my security in firefox with there updates anymore because I refuse to use this new bookmarking system, plus I have thousands of bookmarks & counting & I know how to make & organize my own bookmarks & I do not need a dumb star to tell me where to put my bookmarks, I hate smart **** that they ad to our software because it always tends to be for those idiots that will not do a simple google search on how to do something because they are much to slow to just read a how to post in a forum,then us that knows how to organize our bookmark folders the right way, we then get penalized for knowing what the heck we know & these idiots change the system to a system that can’t do anything correctly besides crash & take forever to do a simple task which has made me switch back to the old one & I even backed up the extensions well like I normally do but this time was just incase they take them off line because I think they are going to keep updating with this pathetic new newbie bookmarking system that sucks-sucks sucks & sucks!!!!!!!!

I thought I’d post this here, as it quite relevant. I’m proud to annouce the public release of version 1.0 of the Autocomplete Manager extension! The extension provides advanced features for the address Autocomplete framework in Firefox. Features include:
- matching against page titles
- matching against bookmark addresses and bookmark names
- matching any part of the domain name
- various sorting criteria for suggested entries, including alphabetical, most-frequently-visited and most-recently-visited
- resorting the suggestion list on the fly according to different criteria
- showing/hiding page titles and visit counts
- setting the number of visible entries on the popup
- define the truncation for long addresses
- numerous fixes for Autocomplete-related bugs

The extension can also function as a rudimentary History Manager. More details, as well as the installation package, are available at http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~nikitas/acmanager

Please let me know of any suggestions/bugs.

Thank you!

A solution to cross-browser bookmarks I have found is to make a local HTML file and use it as your Home Page. I have done this with the most popular bookmarks I use. They always show up no matter which browser I use. Plus it is easy to see them as they are all in a few simple lists on screen. I thought of writing some JavaScript to make it easy to add and subtract the bookmarks, but never got round to it.

Hi,

i do understand that bookmarking within browser is problematic to use, how about online bookmarking services? (example del.icio.us).
