Firefox users: backup your bookmarks.
 

Just had my first Firefox crash. It took all my bookmarks with it when it went down. Some 300 or so bookmarks ... all gone, wiped clean.

Apparently this is not too uncommon. There are extensions that will backup your bookmarks automatically.

If you use Firefox, I recommend getting one of those profile backup extensions ... Wish I had known that a few hours ago.

what is firefox?

Steve

It's Mozilla's latest Browser.

It does have some nice features over IE, plus better security and some other things.

do you know if firefox now has FTP capabilities?...

i reverted back to IE mainly bacause i like to use it as a quick'n'easy FTP client... y'know to upload pics for you folks here at canreef to see! :mrgreen:

Do this:

ftp://<username>:<password>@<ftp ip address or url>:<port number>

For example, on my telusplanet server I do this

ftp://myusername:mypassword@www.telusplanet.net:21

If your ftp port is 21 then you can omit the ":21" part.

In case you're wondering, no, those are not my true user name and password

HTH

a simple "yes" would have sufficed. :mrgreen: :lol:

thanks though... maybe i'll give firefox another try.

firefox kicks ass! ive used every browser ever made including beta .7 of netscape and every frickin version of ie. firefox is by far the slickest thing i think ive ever used.

backing up your files (including bookmarks) is always a good idea. i even back up my messanger contact lists. if you want a good alternative to outlook try mozilla thunderbird. it will import all your mail, settings and password, you litterly have nothing to setup.

anyhow.. go opensource.. weeeee

Thats the browser that I use on my Linux system (I do not run windows at home on any of my machines excepy my wife's machine)

Firefox is definately a kickass browser..

I don't know if the Linux version has the same potential weakness. If fact I'd be surprised if it did.
