Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar
      #372863 - Tue Nov 20 2007 05:39 PM

I have been a fan of the Firefox browser for a couple of years now and personally I find it extremely easy and quick to use.

Saving Bookmarks to the tool bar is a great way to quickly access frequently used pages with just one click of the mouse. The only problem is the default names and info which are applied when saving them soon fill up the tool bar !

An easy way to resolve this is to right click on a Bookmark in the tool bar then choose "properties". Delete all the text in the "Name" field & select "ok".

Most websites now have a small logo which will appear as a button and should be enough to easily recognise each site. You may need to refresh your browser or re-start Firefox for the logo to appear.

I have approx 20 of my most frequently visited sites saved in this way (including Web User Magazine, of course) and find it makes Firefox even more efficient to use.

Great mag guys & girls. Hope that may be of some help to fellow readers.

Hi Gman. Welcome to the forum - you'll find it a pleasant place. Re your bookmarks - there is a Firefox add-on http://tinyurl.com/37d2gx published in the current issue of the magazine (175) which does this job for you by reducing each bookmark on the toolbar to a 'favicon'. Obviously all the info is there when you hover your mouse over it.

Have been using this extension for some time and it is very useful.
