Question for Mozilla Users

[Hokie]

I have been using Mozilla for about a month now and I love it. I hate going back to IE6 at work (it is a managed machine so I have to use it).

Here is my question. I have a couple of PC's on a network at home. Can you use a common book mark file or synchronize the two bookmark files in any way?

1. I don't run Mozilla, IE6 :-<

But, you'd probably need to change a registry setting to make it look at a common directory.

3. You are probably right

I do not think I want to play with the registry.

2. Depends on your network setup

I'm assuming you use a simple network setup, with no domain name server. You could probably modify Mozilla user settings so that the profile is stored in a same directory on each computer.

I honestly don't know, though. You may want to go to the Mozilla webpage and look around for forums to ask the question on, though.

4. Mozilla has an import tool for bookmarks

.
.
and export -

Go
Bookmarks:
Manage Bookmarks:
Tools:
Import or Export -

just "find" your bookmark (favorites) file on your networked computers, then "point" the import tool to that computer/folder

Mozilla automatically found my EI bookmarks on installation

If you just desperately want those bookmarks for work too, just zip and e-mail the favorites / bookmark folder to yourself

- then you have your bookmarks wherever you go !!

5. I have used the import feature

Thanks for the reply. Yes, when you install Mozilla it automatically imports your IE favorites. I was just looking for an easy way to consolidate bookmarks. Another thing you can do to make you bookmarks portable is to store them on My Yahoo. This is a handy feature. If you are on a public terminal or at someone's PC you can just log into My Yahoo and your bookmarks are there. They are only as current as the last time you uploaded them.

6. Bookmark the mozilla file?

So far as I know Mozilla can't read the IE file, but the Mozilla file is just HTML.
