I tried to make changes to a bookmark using the Library screen. I added description and tags. But it doesn’t automatically save or give me a save button. The text I type is deleted right away.

@Dria
“but I couldn’t put that bookmark into both the “Vegetable” and “Soup” subfolders at the same time.”
You actually can do this, but that’s really beside the point.

And to others, the Weave initiative does look interesting. I can’t wait until it’s out of prototype.

Nice thing. But is there any possibility to tag several bookmarks at once? Otherwise it could become very annoying to tag the bookmarks :-/

like most i dont organize my bookmarks and bookmark a lot of pages, but if i can rate them(!) it’ll be great.
in fact the star in location bar itself could allow me to rate my bookmark right there!

Looking forward to del.icio.us tapping into the new bookmark system.

Nice post. I was just wondering what that star thing was at the address bar. Thanks.

Foxmarks are “admitting into the program everyone who has volunteered to test.”

Create yourself a login and download the beta for FireFox 3.

I love the new FF3 but I can’t wait for Foxmarks to be updated because my home system’s bookmarks are badly out of date.

I tried to export my work bookmarks and importing them at home but FF3 didn’t want to accept my old FF2 bookmarks.

The ability to search within bookmarks is going to save me so much time.
I, like you, am not naturally very organised when it comes to bookmarks, I start off with good intentions and then end up going back to my old ways; always with the intention of tidying it up later…

Now that I’ve seen actual screenshots of this, it seems quite neat. Since I use Opera as my main browser, I’ve been using the keywords you can add for bookmarks as a makeshift tag field since it works kinda like tags. It would definitely be quite nice to have that one click bookmarking feature for example.

Combine the tag search thing in the URL with Opera 9.5’s new page content search (which stores content from all pages you visit and can find the pages based on that later), and you’d have a very good way to get back those pages you want.

Who knows, maybe Firefox 3 will make the UI nicer otherwise too - so far it’s been much “clunkier” than Opera’s, which is one of the main reason I don’t like Fx that much.
