Spell check 'emensely' too...(immensely) Yeah, great concepts for bookmarks. Makes a lot of sense...except for one little thing: People get comfy, nay, snuggly with their favorite tools, like a good pen and writing pad, or a browser. Now, introduce, well, actually, RAM a new idea down people's throats (FF2 is no longer supported, remember, so most of us have no choice) without the option to choose between new and old ways. The only word for this is 'arrogance'. "Trust us, you'll love it," is the attitude I sense from Mozilla. Really now? You did a great job of whetting my appetite for the possibilities of the relational database. But darn it, I only have fifty or so bookmarks. Is this the tool for me? Hardly. At least not yet. Were I given the option to switch back and forth, I would likely have ventured into the Brave New Bookmark World. But now, well, I strongly resent this unpredictable, and not so easy to work "once you get in there" bookmark organizing area. It's not intuitive at all. It looks like it's intuitive---but it's not. It doesn't act like it looks like it should. Go ahead, try it. Move some links around. Ha! It's such a smart system, it keeps learning new ways to confuse you. Mozilla needs to understand that they are NOT Google. I'll wait a bit longer for an add on that allows me to run FF 3 bookmarks the way I want (after all, wasn't that what FF was supposed to be about?) But I, and probably many, many others, won't wait too long. jorge. Hey Marco, how are ya?
